My pc is very very slow it takes me forever to log on to the internet and to open programs. Often the screen will just lock up and I have to reboot. I also have problems with the colour on my screen which is mainly green. I have started up in safe mode and used ccleaner, atf cleaner and malaware bytes anti malaware which did pick up a trojan dialler.

jonregester,

I'm not convinced that this is a malware issue but let's get an online scan first.


Please go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

  • Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
  • It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
  • When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
  • Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
    • Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
      Archives
      Mail databases
  • Click on My Computer under Scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
  • You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As….
  • Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.
  • Please post this log in your next reply.
