    Thank you for the logs. Were you able to run a Malwarebytes scan?

    It's possible it's updating windows updates.

    Let's see if there are any startup items we can disable to improve performance.

    Go here to download HJT
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/hijackthis/
    • Save HJTsetup.exe to your desktop.
    • Doubleclick on the HJTsetup.exe icon on your desktop.
    • By default it will install to C:\Program Files\Hijack This.
    • Continue to click Next in the setup dialogue boxes until you get to the Select Addition Tasks dialogue.
    • Put a check by Create a desktop icon then click Next again.
    • Continue to follow the rest of the prompts from there.
    • At the final dialogue box click Finish and it will launch Hijack This.
    • Click on the Do a system scan and save a logfile button. It will scan and the log should open in notepad.
    • Click on "Edit > Select All" then click on "Edit > Copy" to copy the entire contents of the log.

    When I double clicked on HijackThis, I got a message headed "HijackThis Beta"

    It's been some time since I attached a file, but I think I've attached the screenshot showing the message I got from HijackThis. Please have a look at it and tell me how to proceed.
