    Something Wrong With Computer


    Hello guys so as of lately my computer has begun running funny I will list out what I have done and what has happened

    I got malware and with help ran through some things and cleared it
    Reinstalled windows again (To clear all the unwanted stuff, start fresh)

    Now that I have everything sorted few days later and things are playing up again

    When watching youtube videos the videos like stop start and make weird crackling noise
    Run a scan on maleware bytes and found 10 threats
    When I open new tab in firefox the squares where your history is not there like there has been a search front put up (might be paranoid lol)
    And my internet loading times and video buffering is now terrible it used to be really quick

    Thats it guys sorry if there is to much to read here just need to know whats wrong with my computer

    Thanks for any help

    You may have picked up some 'bundled' adware.


    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.

    What "driver updater thing" did you download, and from what site?


    Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.
    • Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
      Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.
    • Click on the Scan button.
    • AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
    • After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
    • The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
    • Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
    • A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.

    • When the scan completes run the clean part.



    Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
