PF Usage too high

Dell Latitude D531, 2GB ram, dual core AMD cpu. I just finished working Forum: HijackThis™ Logs and Infections Removal to remove malware etc the Topic was Help with spyware PC will no longer shutdown That was resolved by removing a lot of stuff. The machine will shutdown after about 20 minutes. During a few days of working this issue noticed the high PF usage. This was not happening a week ago. Now the machine has to be rebooted every 4 to 6 hours even if idle over night. PF usage reaches 5+ GB and a yellow triangle on the task bar says low virtual memory. Machine does not respond much at that point so we reboot. Here is the HiJackThis log: Reason for edit; removed HJT log.

Hello, Please go back to the malware forum. This shows that the machine still has malware on it and more cleaning is needed.

Does this mean the PF high usage is a malware problem? Or do you mean I need to fix all the malware problems first? Thanks, Chris

It is best to take care of all malware before trying to fix a possible tech issue. I can not give advice about malware other than to ask you to make sure you have cleaned the machine before we help with an issue that may be malware related.

Thank you for the advice. I will go back to the malware forum and work it there first. Chris
