            Vundofix.exe came up with nothing so that's good. Maybe the computer is just on it's way out! I also did a disk cleanup to remove old files. It seems to be a bit better. Thank you for your help.0

            How old is it?
 It could well be the harddrives on its way out if its over 4 years old
 It could also be that the vundo infection has made a bit of a mess of the operating system
 Its also possible that some 'update' or other has slowed it down (They do go wrong sometimes):idea:0
- 
            Probably about 6 years old now. Has been a good computer though, apart from the odd blip.. After I had the virus I kept getting a pop up asking me for the original disks but I couldn't find them and the pop up has disappeared now.0
- 
            Only way to find out for sure is formatting the drive and starting from scratch:idea:0
- 
            Can you post another hijack log please? Ill have a final check to see whats running and whats needed:idea:0

            Ok. Thank you. I think I might put a new one on my Xmas list this year..0

 Vundofix has not been updated for a long period of time - I have not checked this topic so I am guessing that you have already run MalwareBytes - this is likely to catch more.0

            Yes I have run Superantispyware, Malwarebytes and Avira. I usually run them for all the users on the computer weekly. Here is the report:
