View Full Version : Laptop acting strangely despite scans saying it's clean - is it infected?

My laptop has been acting strangely for about a week now - slow internet browsing (I usually use Firefox but have switched to Chrome); for some reason Windows DVD maker doesn't recognize my DVD drive, and I've noticed repeated instances of processes in the task manager (most notably csrss.exe). Also Windows Firewall kept switching itself off (I've noe installed PC Tools free firewall, which so far has not deactivated itself).

I've scanned with Spybot S&D and Avira PE but found no instances of malware or viruses.

Unfortunately though, I do have good cause to believe someone may have tried to install a keylogger on my computer =(

I don't want to go into too much detail on a public forum as this is a personal matter rather than a general internet malware suspicion, but would be happy to explain by PM if it's needed to get help with this issue.

Anyway, here is my HiJack this log. I'd be incredibly grateful if someone could look over this and advise if there are any problems and how I could proceed to fix them. Thank you so much for any help and advice offered!

It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
