    Default 100% CPU Usage and ielowutil.exe

    Recently my computer has been running very slowly due to 100% cpu usage the majority of the time. Also I have noticed coupled with this a process named ielowutil.exe, which is replicated several times, keeps popping up.

    Below are my DDS and aswMBR logs

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello again Steve18

    I see no obvious evidence of malware but there are some issues that need to be addressed.

    You have some dodgy programs/toolbars and some programs that are out-of-date and therefore a security vulnerability.

    Running multiple antivirus programs

    You can not run two real-time antiviruses at the same time. Although many have different methods of searching for and recognising threats, they will all be 'fighting' in memory to kick each other out, rendering them all ineffective.

    Uninstall Ad-Aware
    • click on Start, Control Panel
    • click Programs and Features
    • scroll down the list click on AdAware and then on Remove.

    ===================================================

    P2P - I see you have P2P software, (uTorrent), installed on your machine.

    We are not here to pass judgment on file-sharing as a concept but we will warn you that engaging in this activity will always make your computer very susceptible to infection and re-infection.

    Please note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are more often than not, infected. Those who write malware use P2P file-sharing as a major vehicle to spread their wares.

    Please see this topic for more information:

    Perils of P2P File Sharing.

    I would strongly recommend that you uninstall it now. You can do so via [b]Control Panel, Programs, and then Programs and Features.

    Should you decide to keep it, please don’t use it until we have finished up here.

    ===================================================

    Re ielowutil.exe

    ielowutil.exe is harmless. See here

    ===================================================

    Download and run AdwCleaner

    Download AdwCleaner from here and save it to your desktop.
    • run AdwCleaner and select Delete
    • when it has finished it will ask to reboot - allow the reboot
    • on reboot a log will be produced; please attach the content of the log to your next reply

    ===================================================

    Download Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware

    Click 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 removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to restart your computer. (see Note below)
    • the log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
    • copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.

    NOTE: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

    Logs to include with the next post:

    Hi Satchfan,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have done as you said and removed adaware. Also I've run the two programs. Please find the logs attached.

    Cheers

    You seem to be pretty much ok here but a couple more scans should make sure.

    Run Security Check

    Download Security Check by screen317 from here or here.
    • save it to your Desktop.
    • double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
    • a Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

    ================================================

    Run ESET Online Scan

    IMPORTANT Please make sure you uncheck the box next to Remove found threats. Eset will detect anything that looks even slightly suspicious, which could include legitimate program files. If you do not uncheck the box, Eset will automatically remove all suspicious files which could leave some of your software inoperable.

    Note: You can use either Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox for this scan. You will however need to disable your current installed Anti-Virus, how to do so can be read here.

    Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.

    ESET OnlineScan
    • 1. Click the Eset online Scanner button.
      2. For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
      • Click on esetinstaller.exe to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
      • Double click on the Eset installer icon on your desktop.
      3. Check Yes, I accept the Terms of Use
      4. Click the Start button.
      5. Accept any security warnings from your browser.
      6. Check Scan archives
      7. Push the Start button.
      8. ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
      9. When the scan completes, push List of found threats
      10. Push Export to Text file and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
      Note - if ESET doesn't find any threats, no report will be created.
      11. Push the back button.
      12. Push Finish

    If a log has been produced post it in your next reply.

    I ran both the programs that you requested.

    ESET found nothing so there is no log to attach.

    Here is the log for Security Check:

    It's good that Eset also found nothing. I’d say that apart from a lot of junk that was removed,, you had no real malware.

    As long as your computer seems to be running well, please follow these steps to tidy up you computer and decrease the likelihood of getting infected again:

    Uninstall AdwCleaner
    • double click on adwcleaner.exe to run the tool
    • click on Uninstall
    • confirm with Yes.
    You can delete all other logs and programs we’ve used that are on your desktop. Just click on them and press Delete.

    ===================================================

    Create a Restore Point
    • click on Start > Control Panel (All Control Panel Items)
    • click on System > System Protection
    • check that you have System Protection turned on for the drive that you want to create a restore point for, (usually C:
    • click Create
    • type in a description for the restore point to help recognize it when doing a System Restore, and click on the Create button.

    Remove old restore points
    • open Disk Cleanup by clicking Start. In the search box, type Disk Cleanup, and then, in the list of results, click Disk Cleanup.
    • if prompted, select the drive that you want to clean up, and then click OK.
    • in the Disk Cleanup for (drive letter) dialog box, click "Clean up system files". If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation
    • if prompted, select the drive that you want to clean up, and then click OK
    • click the More Options tab, then under System Restore and Shadow Copies, click Clean up
    • in the Disk Cleanup dialog box, click Delete
    • click Delete Files, and then click OK.


    ===================================================

    Windows updates

    I notice that Windows updates are waiting to be installed and you do not have Service Pack 1 installed.. Click here for information on how to get the latest Windows updates or your computer will be at risk of infection.

    ===================================================

    Update Java

    You have an old version on your computer which are also vulnerable to infections.
    • from the Start menu, select Control Panel.
    • in Large or Small icon view, click Programs and Features. If you're using Category view, under "Programs", click Uninstall a program.
    • select any versions of Java then click Uninstall.
    Install the latest version:

    Java

    NOTE – when you install Java, before clicking on Install, be sure to Uncheck “Install the Ask Toolbar and make Ask my default search provider”



    ===================================================

    Recommended programs

    Spybot’s TeaTimer

    This program is disabled and should be enabled or you will not have real-time protection.
    • open Spybot Search & Destroy
    • go to the Mode menu and make sureAdvanced Mode is selected.
    • choose Yes at the Warning prompt
    • expand the “Tools” menu
    • click Resident
    • check the Resident TeaTimer (Protection of overall system settings) active. box
    • in the File menu click Exit to exit Spybot Search & Destroy.
    • if Teatimer gives you a warning that changes were made, click Allow Change when prompted.
      exit Spybot S&D.

    Remember to scan your computer with the program on a regular basis as you would with your anti-virus software.

    ===================================================

    Update and run Malwarebytes. This really is an excellent program that you should also update and run on a regular basis, probably weekly.

    ===================================================

    It’s important to keep programs up to date so that malware doesn't exploit any old security flaws.

    FileHippo Update Checker is an extremely helpful program that will tell you which of your programs need to be updated.

    ===================================================

    MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.

    ===================================================

    I also recommend that you read the following:

    If I hear nothing for 24 hours I shall assume all is well and close the topic.
