Computer Running Very Slow

[2bsss]

Hello all. Lately my computer has been running much slower than normal. Granted it is 5 years old but something seems to be really dragging it down lately. I have run various scanners and they have not picked anything up except internet cookies. Below is my HJT log. Thank you for any help.

• Zipped Mirror
  This version will download a zip file you will need to extract first. If you use this mirror, please extract the zip file to your desktop.

• Double-click on the randomly named GMER file (i.e. n7gmo46c.exe) and allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.
• Note: If you downloaded the zipped version, extract the file to its own folder such as C:\gmer and then double-click on gmer.exe.
  
  
  
• GMER will open to the Rootkit/Malware tab and perform an automatic quick scan when first run. (do not use the computer while the scan is in progress)
• If you receive a WARNING!!! about rootkit activity and are asked to fully scan your system...click NO.
• Now click the Scan button. If you see a rootkit warning window, click OK.
• When the scan is finished, click the Save... button to save the scan results to your Desktop. Save the file as gmer.log.
• Click the Copy button and paste the results into your next reply.
• Exit GMER and re-enable all active protection when done.

To re-enable your Emulation drivers, double click DeFogger to run the tool.

• The application window will appear

• Click Yes to continue
• A 'Finished!' message will appear
• Click OK

I will not proceed with anything further in your post until told to do so. Thanks.

[ken545]

Go ahead and try running GMER, what this does is checks for rootkits which are hidden from most scanners

If GMER wont run then try this one

Please download RootRepeal from one of these locations and save it to your desktop
Here
Here
Here

• Open on your desktop.
• Click the tab.
• Click the button.
• Check just these boxes:
• 
• Push Ok
• Check the box for your main system drive (Usually C:, and press Ok.
• Allow RootRepeal to run a scan of your system. This may take some time.
• Once the scan completes, push the button. Save the log to your desktop, using a distinctive name, such as RootRepeal.txt. Include this report in your post.

Hi,

I was looking for signs of a rootkit and don't see any.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop.

• Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
• Under Main choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.

Your system may start up slower after running ATF Cleaner, this is expected but will be back to normal after the first or second boot up
Please note: If you use online banking or are registered online with any other organizations, ensure you have memorized password and other personal information as removing cookies will temporarily disable the auto-login facility.







Please download Malwarebytes from Here or Here

• Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
• At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected .
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
• Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot.

Post the report and also a new HJT log please
