My computer has started running very slow, taking a long time to boot and slow with most processes.  There have also been come changes that I did not do, such as changing the default browser and so forth.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Below is my Hijackthis log

Hi there,
my name is Marius and I will assist you with your malware related problems.

Before we move on, please read the following points carefully.

• First, read my instructions completely. If there is anything that you do not understand kindly ask before proceeding.
• Perform everything in the correct order. Sometimes one step requires the previous one.
• If you have any problems while following my instructions, Stop there and tell me the exact nature of your problem.
• Do not run any other scans without instruction or add/remove software unless I tell you to do so. This would change the output of our tools and could be confusing for me.
• Post all logfiles as a reply rather than as an attachment unless I specifically ask you. If you can not post all logfiles in one reply, feel free to use more posts.
• If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.
• Stay with me. I will give you some advice about prevention after the cleanup process. Absence of symptoms does not always mean the computer is clean.
• My first language is not english. So please do not use slang or idioms. It could be hard for me to read. Thanks for your understanding.

 

 

 

 

Scan with FRST in normal mode

Please download Farbar's Recovery Scan Tool to your desktop: FRST 32bit or FRST 64bit (If not sure: Start --> Computer (right click) --> properties)

• Run FRST.
• Don´t change one of the checkboxes and hit Scan.
• Logfiles are created on your desktop.
• Poste the FRST.txt and (after the first scan only!) the Addition.txt.

 

 

 

 

Scan with Gmer rootkit scanner

Please download Gmer from here by clicking on the "Download EXE" Button.

• Double click on the randomly named GMER.exe. If asked to allow gmer.sys driver to load, please consent.
• If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO.
• In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Uncheck the following ...
  
  • Sections
  • IAT/EAT
  • Show All ( should be unchecked by default )
• Leave everything else as it is.
• Close all other running programs as well as your Browser.
• Click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
• Once done click on the Save.. button, and in the File name area, type in "ark.txt" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post.
• Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop.
• Please post the content of the ark.txt here.

**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries
