    How much RAM does your computer have?
    Also ~ how bigs the hard drive and how much is left?

    Download SUPERANTISPYWARE (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/
    UPDATE and PERFORM COMPLETE SCAN

    I cant see anything wrong with the logs

    Id hazard a guess its ADAWARE slowing it down (Or your hardrives full). My advice is to uninstall it and make sure AVIRA is on version 9 (Which now includes spyware)

    Download AVIRA ANTI VIRUS PERSONAL (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_antivir/

    How long has it been slow?

    512 mb ram - 111 gb - 82.1 gb free. It has been slow for about a week. I have had a few virus lately, trojan vundo, worm/magbesat, tr/trash.gen but seem have removed them ok, Just wondered if they were still lurking somehere. It takes hours to run full scans and freezes up. Avira is updated daily. I'll try removing Adware.

    Well run Superantispyware

    then ~

    Please download VundoFix.exe (http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4) to your desktop.
    Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
    Click the Scan for Vundo button.
    Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
    You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
    Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
    When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
    Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt in a reply to this thread.
    Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
    In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from ~
    "Click the Scan for Vundo button" when VundoFix appears upon rebooting.

    I agree, perhaps I should get an external hard drive. Why have my pages gone so wide? Superanti-spyware is still running..
