    None at all on this laptop now, I have a disc from O2 with Macafee, would that slow it down again?

    You need to update Malwarebytes you are running a very old version - currently 1.34 and definitions 1813.
    Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.31
    Database version: 1565
    Click the update tag within Malwarebytes itself.

    Then please rerun it and post the fresh log here.

    I wouldn't bother with Mcafee.

    Download Avast Antivirus, Superantispyware, and PCTools Firewall Plus which comes with Threatfire. That should do you. All are free.

    Thanks for your help, Im going to leave it running tonight as it looks like the disk defrag is going to take forever but will download these tomorrow.
