    Slow Infected PC; ran JRT and ADW from safe mode


    Browser keeps crashing and PC still very slow. I couldn't do anything unless I was in safe mode. Initially, the icons on desktop were almost completely gone. System is 7 Premium, 3 GB RAM, AMD processor. Thanks for getting me started on getting out of this nightmare.

    Let's start with a scan using DDS. See if you can get into 'safe mode with networking' :

    Download DDS from one of these links:
    DDS.com

    DDS.pif
    • Disable any script blocking protection
    • Double click the dds icon to run the tool.
    • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
      1. DDS.txt
      2. Attach.txt <--- will be minimized in the task tray
    • Save both reports to your desktop.

    Include the contents of both logs in your next post.

    The scan will instruct you to post Attach.txt as an attachment.

    You have an awful lot of Toshiba stuff running at start up!!

    Can you post (copy and paste) both logs from JRT and AdwCleaner for me to see, please?

    Neither of these files shows anything that I can see.
    BTW, when I restarted the PC, I was informed that Microsoft had installed updates.

    Did your computer start acting slow after you installed Bitdefender?

    Bit Defender?


    I don't know. Helen called a tech for some unknown reason when I was out of town and he installed it. Hard to say.

    Download Microsoft Security Essentials (it's free) Download Microsoft Security Essentials from Official Microsoft Download Center

    When downloading "save" the program to your desktop, or 'downloads' .... don't select to run it yet.

    Next, download Bitdefender uninstall tool: BitDefender Uninstall Tool Download
    Save it .... now, right click on the uninstall tool and choose to run as Administrator.

    When finished uninstalling, right click on Microsoft Security Essentials to run as Administrator. MSE will need to update it's antivirus definitions.

    When it's finished installing and you've scanned for viruses, let me know if anything was found and if the computer is running faster now.

    MSE installed -- PC still kind of slow


    MSE found nothing after a complete scan. Did you see any processes at start up that would improve the performance if I disabled them? The other thing I was wondering about was adding 1GB of memory. Would than make a noticeable difference?

    Right click to run an elevated 'command prompt' ... choose to run as Administrator.

    Copy/paste sfc /scannow and push the 'enter' key.

    Tell me if there are any corrupted files reported.
