Very slow pc, multiple processes

Hi,

I was just workin on my pc when suddenly it started going really slow, after checking task manger I saw there where 82 processes running, some where in there more then once ( scvhost.exe),

On the forums is showed that this is normal, and scvhost always has more then one process running.

There's definitely something wrong because my Process usage is Either running round 85% and staying there, OR dropping from 17 - 20 to 60 - 70, really weird

I restarted my PC in safe mode, and scanned which found 2 trojans, i deleted those succesfully but the problem is still there,

Here's a screen shot of my Taskmanager View photo | DumpYourPhoto - A free and easy photo hosting service

Ill post a Hijack log to i dont know if this would be usefull, but the more info the better look you guys can get i think ( dont know al that much about pc's), been looking around for 2 days, only found this problem solution for Windows XP,

Please help me, because this is an irritating problem, even more so i need lots of memeory to run 3DS max, which is lagging like hell right now

Well you have decent memory but also a lot of processes running.

In Task Manager, click on "Processes" tab, then click twice on "Mem usage" so that processes are listed in descending order of RAM consumption. Post a screen shot here. Again, in task manager, click on "Performance" tab and note down the figure under Physical Memory-Available. Post that figure here.

As for cpu usage, those may be occasional spikes or consistently high usage. Wait for it to happen, then in Task Manager-Processes tab, click twice on "CPU" to list processes in descending order. Post a screenie here.

Check in MSCONFIG-Startup tab, what processes you have set up to start at boot. Disable any that can be started later or are not essential. Reboot.

Thanks for fast respons!,

here's the screenshots you requested,

Startup programs where already down to minimum, its really strange, when i Boot theres only round 20 processes running, 2 or 3 min after that they go way up to 80-90 ish, i dont know why or how, and if i dont check in taskmangr there would be no way i would see it, theres no programs opening.
Could this be a Mem leak ( seen it on other forums where they had same problem with CPU going to 100% couple minutes after reboot)

After posting the first post, I started having warnings For Trojans, moved and deleted them right away, but its strange i got there, havent downloaded anything in last days

Furthermore, The svchost exe's have different names before and after a reboot

A few things I noticed.

1) The top memory consumer (as per attached picture) is ATI_MAINBOARD.EXE. Now, personally i have never heard of such a thing. Google tells me that the malware called DH8FBPYRBXUF.EXE also uses this name. See this page.

DH8FBPYRBXUF.EXE, Prevx

2) Again as per attached picture, you have the following apps running- Google Sketchup, Autocad, MSN Messenger, firefox, WMP and Word among others. Dude, 4gb is decent memory but its not a magician. If you really want so many apps running simultaneously, buy a supercomputer.

3) Your Sony in-built services like Power management and Entertainment seem to be consuming quite a lot of RAM. Review these and decide what you actually need, disable the others.

Run malware scans with Prevx and Malwarebytes. If that makes your computer infection free, review everything running on your computer. Shutdown or disable everything unnecessary. And upgrade your RAM to max.

Thanks, Yes i know have them all running, hasnt been problem before, normaly I run 3DS max or photoshop with this as well never been a real problem ,
So you recommend i delete the DH8FBPYRBXUF.EXE which cause the memory lagging with prevx ?,
Ill scan with Prevx and Malwarebytes.

Ok its getting lot worse,

Processe are popping up, havind weird names and/or in weird locations

Also Prevx Found the Ati and other trhreads in no time, cant delete them till I buy the program, do you know any free sotfware that will do the trick,

I could be in real trouble if this doesnt get fixed, got couple deadlines to meet by monday,
really apreciate the time and effort you put in this,

thanks, Ill keep looking and googling processes which look weird.

Not sure about the additional processes in the attached pictures. smss.exe is a valid windows exe but can also be malware. ACDaemon and ACService are installed by Arcsoft, I think you have some of that software installed. Searchprotocolhost is related to the Windows search service.

I think Prevx removes only adware for free, more complicated infections require purchase of a license. Download and run free Malwarebytes from this page Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: Malwarebytes.

Espacially Smss.exe is worrying me, google it comes up quite alot as worm,
but there called smss32.exe, Scanning with Malware full scan of alldrives, I'll post results afeter this, I'm not scanning in safe mode, does this matter ?

Yes next to the Prevx infections has a symbol which tells me i need to buy it,

I was wondering if i couldnt Use Hijack?, This seem to solve programs very fast, if found the ATI in the scna wth Hijack
