Post #1
OK, I recently got a bunch of Malware on my computer. I already has a problem like this before so I have already kind of done this before. But this is my problem as of now. It takes forever to open certain programs like Internet Explorer, and I have a search bar in Internet Explorer I can not get rid of. Here is the log.

The following have randomly named file names, and as such are normally malware.
UNLESS you know what they are, and they are from a safe source, follow their process tree.
Right click on the file and go to Properties. Then go to the Version tab to see what company name it's from:
If it's from some name you never heard of or if it's blank, please check for removal also.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [98D0CE0C16B1] rundll32.exe D0CE0C16B1,D0CE0C16B1



Reboot afterwards in SAFE MODE. If you don't know how click here
Delete the following file(s) and folder(s) listed

C:\Program Files\Support.com\bin\tgkill.exe << stlb2.dll << C:\WINDOWS\CONSCORR.exe
c:\Program Files\AutoUpdate\AutoUpdate.exe <<<file only



Some of these files and folders might have the hidden atribute
How to show hidden files and folders in Windows Instructions here

Then Download System Security Suite. Extract it from the zip file into a folder.
http://www.igorshpak.net/software/3ssetup104.zip
Under "items to clear" click all. Then click "clear selected items"

Reboot and Rescan with HJT and post a new log here.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
