Hello, my brother's laptop since Friday (the 13th) has had slowness with something 100%ing the laptop CPU and up to a a minute or 2 before normally resuming. I'm not so sure what it is and am trying to get a HijackThis page to post here.

Also after spending enough time in Safe Mode, the laptop simply shuts off. I felt the underside of it and it was quite hot, the battery was not hot in the slightest.

Here is the HijackThis log:

Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
  • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
  • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8; instead of double-clicking, right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator".
  • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
  • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
  • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
  • Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.




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.
Using AdwCleaner v3: Scan & Clean:
Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.
Click on the Scan button.
AdwCleaner will begin to scan your computer like it did before.
After the scan has finished...

This time click on the Clean button.
Press OK when asked to close all programs and follow the onscreen prompts.
Press OK again to allow AdwCleaner to restart the computer and complete the removal process.
After rebooting, a logfile report (AdwCleaner[S#].txt) will open automatically (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
A copy of that logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder

I'm not so familiar with "HijackThis" but i know several other members do so I'm sure they will be able to shed some light on the log.

Looks like some cleaner has been run already and it deleted some system files.

Uninstall AVG and Emsisoft AVs. Or pick ONE real time AV and remove the others. Don't run more than one real time AV. They spend more time checking each other than providing any benefit. After rebooting after each uninstall, run SFC /scannow from an elevated command prompt. Pay particular attention to the note that you may need to run it several times and to reboot after each run.

Yeah running to AV at the same time means the conflict with each other resulting in false reports/ interference as carwiz said. I use AVG and would recommend you use that, some others will recommend AVAST which also does a fantastic job.

I have been running this in safe mode and have ran TFC (temp file cleaner), Malwarebytes Antimalware and Adwcleaner so far and did find some crap that my brother tried finding via Avast. Also I was in the process of running OTL and the system overheated (not the battery tho) and shut down. I'll give that and Junkware cleaner a run once it cools off.

There is actually only one AV on the system and I believe that safe search thing is a leftover that was never removed.

Here is JRT.EXE:

JRT got repaired some registry values and cleaned some files, Malwarebytes got rid of OpenCandy which is often used to install goodies within an installer see here :OpenCandy | Learn More About OpenCandy and False Adware Detections - OpenCandy
all in all, both programs done what they were supposed to, There were some PUPS(potentially un-wanted programs) that were removed, when installing a program, make sure you click on the "custom install" to prevent any goodies from being installed, clicking "express" sometimes installs the program you want aswell as sometimes several you do not want.

Save to your Desktop.

  • Save any work in progress!! TFC closes open applications and removes unsaved work!! Close all windows.
  • Right-click TFC.exe and select: Run as Administrator
  • If prompted, click "Yes" to reboot.
Note: For future reference you can upload files in ZIP format, the members here prefer that way as sometimes it can be unsafe to go to external sites, cheers

I will do that next :)

Even after cleaning everything, the system is still holding itself at 100% CPU and the underside of the laptop is getting very hot (suspecting the hard drive as I opened it and that was the source of the heat. Maybe the CPU too), which I think is why the small freezes during normal OS operation. Letting it run in safe mode for long enough makes it shut down due to the temperature.

Strangely the HDD is holding at 48 C tho it may be a bit hotter.

Holy crap, the CPU is at 83 C because something is making it go at 100% in normal Windows, but it is not in safe mode yet it overheats after about 30 minutes.

It's been running for more than 5 minutes and RAM, motherboard and graphics have still not been identified.

The max operating temp is 75 degrees celsius, I would highly recommend you give it a hoover out, also the thermal paste on the cpu could be needing replacing, il forward this thread on for some extra opinions mate

Yes I too would like to see the results from post #10.

Glaice You have been requested to do scans and check things but you haven't posted back the results. You keep telling us 100% usage and running hot. Okay we know that. Now help us help you and post back requested information.

Post back results like you did in post#1.
We would rather not have to go off the Forum to see results.
Post #3 recommended to remove all but one anti virus. Did you do that. Just running more that one anti virus at a time can make the cpu % go very high.

I will run what is in post #10 and post the results, I apologize for the derping. The freezing due to the high temperature and other things makes it difficult to do scans or anything in normal mode, but I will do my damndest (becoming close to impossible) to get it done in normal.

I checked the programs and features, I only have Avast on there, I did not know Emsisoft counted :confused:

We understand that things might be hard to do because of your problem. Use this tutorial to make your post.

http://www.sevenforums.com/windows-...ne-activation-issue-posting-instructions.html

Have you looked into the overheating problem.
All fans working, cpu cooler still mounted correctly and it's fan working properly.
A cpu at 100% should not get that hot with proper cooling.
Are you over clocked in any fashion?
Well at least a Intel shouldn't get that hot. Hopefully a AMD person can advise on the heat range of your chip.
As already suggested a dirty cpu cooler can cause all kinds of overheating problems.
What cpu cooler do you have installed?

Do your best to keep us informed so we can give the needed help.

Something else that would be helpful. When you computer will let you do it.

msconfig start up5 29 2013.PNG

services msconfig.PNG

Your temps is the first concern. You don't want to make a toaster out of your computer.

Another tutorial by Brink to help you post.

That looks Ok to me. Give the hardware a good clean and check the CPU cooler carefully.
