Avira issues

onejontwo

Has anybody been having trouble with avira?
This morning I updated and ran a scan (found one virus) but since it's become painfully slow and I had trouble connecting to the internet, did a scan with Malwarebytes, spybot, and cc cleaner all came back ok but still painfully slow!
I then uninstalled avira, ran cc cleaner again, re-installed avira and all now seems ok! Could it be the latest update that's at fault? Will be glad to hear your views.
P.S could one of you brilliant techies check this log and tell me if it's ok.
Thanks in anticipation.

P.S. I tried to install the latest MSN messenger (Windows live messenger) but could not. Could that be causing problems as I had nothing to click on to remove the remaining files from WLM (if that makes sense!) I settled for messenger 7 instead.

FIX this using hijack ~

Threatfires broken ~ may as well uninstall it

Id suggest removing ALL toolbars you dont use (Especially the ebay ones, as ones recently been 'hacked')

Id guess it IS the update as someone else had the same problem

I've never used threatfire, is that one on the log from my previous attempts to sort things out? Should I FIX the last one on the log with Hijack?

onejontwo

BTW, thanks for the info and how are the wounds healing?

Threatfire does come with pctools firewall so you almost certainly installed it at some point ~
