Hi 3 weeks ago, I realised my internet exploerer was runnnin slow, I thought it was normal, so I didn;t do anything, after it got slower and slower after days. I figured it had to be spyware most likely. I used almost everything to get rid of this virus. And Windows Defender found some stuff too ( i think trojans and it deleted it). But I aslo just in case booted my pc and delted my hard drives. But my Internet Exploere is still running slow. I even scanned my computer and no viruses or spyware is found on my cpmuter. So why is internet exploere slow?

Hi BatGirl31, welcome to the forum.

Please be advised, as I'm still in training, all my replies will have to be approved by a teacher or expert before I can post them. This may cause some delays, but I will do my best to keep them as short as possible.

To make cleaning this machine easier
  • Please do not uninstall/install any programs unless asked to
    It is more difficult when files/programs are appearing in/disappearing from the logs.
  • Please do not run any scans other than those requested
  • Please follow all instructions in the order posted
  • All logs/reports, etc.. must be posted in Notepad. Please ensure that word wrap is unchecked. In notepad click format, uncheck word wrap if it is checked.
  • Do not attach any logs/reports, etc.. unless specifically requested to do so.
  • If you have problems with or do not understand the instructions, Please ask before continuing.
  • Please stay with this thread until given the All Clear. A absence of symptoms does not mean a clean machine.


Download OTListIt2 to your desktop.
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
  • Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check.
  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTListIt.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTListIt2.

Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post it with your next reply. You may need two posts to fit them all in.

Thanks

Thank yso much for accepting to fix my comptuer. Also for some reason, the program kept freezing so I used a similar program called DDS and here it is.
