Hello again,
Well, the system is still slow in terms of using browsers; the browsers unstable ("not responding" messages aplenty); the mouse button hypersensitive - maybe why I get multiple tabs when I only click for one; the whole of windows seems subtly affected; I still get that FF "-12263"; selecting and copying text is affected across the board: it's hard to select; and ctrl+c doesn't work - even in MSword i think, typing text here and in the address bar, search engine etc, seizes up.
In short, the whole system isn't quite working properly.
I'm not saying that there's necessarily a major virus infection: it may just be some less odious adware that's malfunctioning - some previous advice that seemed plausible was that it was a malfunction connected with the installation of firefox.
There aren't many things it could be, but I suspect that it's firefox related - I feel that the changes may have been triggered by an FF update.
The only other possibilities are: TV Ants; Sportsbar; SOP TV <- I installed these to try them out, then uninstalled them; I also signed up for a legitimate Scottish Football Association web tv site as well - I dunno whether these sorts of things could create conflicts or other problems.
Anyway, here's the ComboFix log:
