Hi there..

I hope someone can please help me.

My computer seems to be running super-slow all of a sudden. I am assuming it is malware/spyware/pooware of some kind, as it usually is.

I have tried using MalwareBytes Anti-Malware but that came up wth nothing found.

Here is an HJ log.

Thank you

Hi, welcome to the WTT Forums. My username is Raktor, and I would be glad to help you with your malware issues. I'd be grateful if you would note the following:

  • Absence of symptoms does not always mean the computer is clean
  • Please do not run any scans or fixes without my direction.
  • Finally, stay with this topic until I give you the final 'All clear' post.

Please follow the instructions in the Welcome New Members topic and post the DDS and RootRepeal logs here.
