    still a bit slow...perhaps the reason could be AVG. There was a trojan detected when I scanned the computer using MBAM, then proceeded with the clean-up and posted the log file!!
  • MBAM - came back clean. It could be AVG.

    You could swap to either Avast or AntiVir. Both are free.

    If you have not done so already scan with this online scanner;

    Please go to Eset Onlinescan (NOD32)
    (You need to use InternetExplorer or enable IEView in Firefox)
    • You will then see the Terms of Use, tick the check-box infront of YES, I accept the Terms of Use
    • Now click Start
    • Should you face a Security Warning that asks if you want to install and run a file called "OnlineScanner.cab", click Yes
    • Click Start (the Onlinescanner will now prepare itself for running on your pc)
    • To do a full-scan, tick: "Remove found threats" and "Scan potentially unwanted applications"
    • Press Scan
      The Onlinescan will now start and scan your pc (please let it run to completion)
    • When the scan has finished, it will show a screen with two tabs "overview" and "details" and the option to get information or buy software, just close the window
    • Click Start >> Run... >> type: C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
      The Scan results will now open in Notepad
    • Click into the text area, right-click and chose "select all"
    • Right-click again and chose "copy"
    • Close Notepad

    Note for Vista Users: Eset is compatible but Internet Explorer must be run as Administrator. To do this, right-click on the IE icon in the Start Menu or Quick Launch Bar on the Taskbar and select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu.)

    Include this log in your reply by right-clicking and "paste" in the text area of the reply post you just created.
