Hijack This log file analysis

I have tried many different antivirus programs (avg, microsoft security essentials, avast, and perhaps another), and I have also tried at least 2 or 3 spyware programs (iobit, adAware, Spybot, MalAwarebytes), and my computer continues to be painfully slow at log on, and to open internet explorer. In fact, most things I try to run are very slow in startup. I have downloaded Hijack This and created a log file, and I am hoping you can help me to determine what is going on. Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to the forums!

My name is Carolyn and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

Please do not run any other tool untill instructed to do so!
Please reply to this thread, do not start another!
Please tell me about any problems that have occurred during the fix.
Please tell me of any other symptoms you may be having as these can help also.
Please try as much as possible not to run anything while executing a fix.

If you follow these instructions, everything should go smoothly.

Step 1

[external image: Posted Image]
Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.

When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
- DDS.txt
- Attach.txt
Save both reports to your desktop.

—————————————————–

Step 2

GMER
The downloaded file will have a random name… this prevents malware from detecting and blocking it.
Please download GMER… random file name.exe by GMER. An alternate (zip file) download site.
Note: Do not run any programs while Gmer is running.
**Caution** Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<— ROOKIT" entries

Disable Avast
- Right click on the avast! icon in system tray (looks like this: [external image: Posted Image]) and choose (Avast shield control)
- Chose disable permanently.
- Note: Don't forget to re-enable it after the fix.
Double click on the random named.exe to execute. If asked, allow the gmer.sys driver load.
If using Vista or Windows 7, you must right click random named.exe and choose "Run As Administrator".
If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan…click on NO <— Important!
On the right side panel, several boxes have been checked. Please UNCHECK the following: (see image below)
- IAT/EAT
- Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
- Show All <– don't miss this one
[external image: Posted Image]
Click on image to enlarge
If you don't get a warning then… Click the Rootkit/Malware tab at the top of the GMER window.
Click the Scan button.
Once the scan has finished… click Save. The Save… window will open.
Save the scan results as gmer.txt, save it to your Desktop.
Double click on the desktop "gmer.txt" file, to open in Notepad.
Copy and paste the contents of the file gmer.txt in your next reply.
