PC help please - have run malwarebytes - what next

moggylover

Hi, have been having some trouble with my pc for some time, running slow, jumping about and mouse not responding. Was waiting for BIL to come and clean it up for me - but read the help you gave to crystal9 the other evening and decided to give it a go myself (about time I tried learning some new technology:D ).

So, I have run Malwarebytes, removed the infected stuff that it found (which was an alarming number but I think many of them were just tracking cookies) and rebooted.

Have done a hijack this log (but cannot work out how to post it here:o ) and want to know what to do next and whether I have anything else on the puter that I need to deal with.

Many thanks for any help you can offer.

To post the hijack a notepad form should have been craeted once hijack finished, the notepad form is what you need to post on here

Did you set these within Windows Defender, in not then under take the following;

Removal of lines

1. Please re-open HiJackThis and choose do a system scan only. Check the boxes next to ONLY the entries listed below:


O2 - BHO: (no name) - !!7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, including browsers, so that nothing other than HijackThis is open, then click Fix Checked. A box will pop up asking you if you wish to fix the selected items. Please choose YES. Once it has fixed them, please exit/close HijackThis. Now reboot your machine.

Otherwise in the quick look I've had all looks ok.

relying on AVG is quite scary

you are still on service pack 2 for some reason

Try this for an independent check

Thanks for replying. Why would AVG not be any good? I'm afraid that it seems everyone has their own "pet" protection, and that no two people ever seem able to agree on this - but this was the one my BIL suggested.

My computer will not let me download the above link for security reasons.
