I've removed both ZoneAlarm and AVG, then reinstalled AVG. I'll put ZoneAlarm back on in the next day or two although I'm still wondering in the back of my mind whether the problem was strictly with...

I found it a simple matter to open a panel on the bottom of the laptop and clean out the accumulation of lint I found in the heat-sink.

But although a cooler CPU certainly couldn't hurt and may...

Good thought. It's an older laptop, so I guess that's a possibility. I'm starting to think it may be headed for e-waste, but will keep trying to get it back to a reliable state.

:oops: This is a bit embarrassing. Thinking IE had no problem, I was listening to Pandora for an hour or two, then I opened another tab to look at a store's website, but then when I finished, the...

It seems to be just Firefox. I've been on IE for an hour now, using different sites (email, facebook, Google) with no trouble. I've had no trouble with using Quicken or MS Word. I think I must...

The time varies. Sometimes just a minute or so and sometimes after a long time -- an hour or more.

The computer periodically locks up, especially while using an internet browser (either FireFox or IE). It seems more likely when I try to move the scroll bar or do something else while a web page is...

Both MBAM and AVG scans were clean. I'll be spending some time this weekend going through the links you've given. Here's that final (I hope!) HijackThis log.

Thank you very much for your help. ...

Hi. The scan found two trojans. I take comfort in the fact that they were in a folder called "quarantine".

"Scan ""Scan whole computer"" was finished."

Looks good, now. Was able to get the uninstall list after malwarebytes task finished. Computer is responding well now.

Here are all four logs:

Follow on to previous post of a few minutes ago....

Uninstall manager "Save List" still doesn't work after reboot. I saw what may have been the navigation panel for selecting a place to save just...

Here are the Combofix log and HJT log.

:slap: The un-install "save list" button just killed HJT without any message. I'll try rebooting and then re-try the uninstall list function. Will put...

Thank you for your help.

After multiple tries where the download popup gave only Save or Cancel as choices and the Save button acted like Cancel, I finally got the HJT Installer to my desktop. ...

I confess to not keeping up to date with virus definitions... Slow response and pop-up ads started appearing just a few days ago, so updated def's for first time in a month and found these bad guys...

I'd been lazy, unwilling to recognize the chance that my computer would be affected by malware. Your help in removing it is greatly appreciated, as is the advice for strengthening my computer's...

Here's the latest HJT log (separately posted to stay within 20000 character limit).

First, the easy answer: the computer is running much better now, thank you.

I chose to install ZoneAlarm's free firewall based on the idea that down the road, I'll probably buy their...

I followed the instructions as best I could. Here are my notes...

I used the manual update of the full AVG database as I have been playing it cautiously by not connecting the infected machine to...

The reboot just wouldn't go without my removing an obstacle. The ComboFix screen sat on the messages "Rebooting Windows . . . Please wait" and "Please allow ComboFix to reboot your machine." for...

VundoFix did NOT restart after reboot (good news, I suppose). Here are VundoFix.Txt and new HJT log.
