Laptop is sooo slow starting up

stevem999

Just another quick Q, superantispyware is now running when I start up the PC, and I have a tray icon for it too. Is this correct? It seems to be one of the last things to load up and ironically seems to be slowing the pc down, until it's 'welcome' screen pops up and then disappears - things then seem to speed up a bit!!

Did you install superantispyware or has it appeared by itself? Either way I would go to Add/Remove programs and get rid of it. It may be an idea to have a look at anything in their you don't need while your at it!

Mmmm, strange one this. Bioscrypt is the name of a manufacturer who makes the Verisoft software, which basically allows me to use a fingerprint scanner built into my laptop, but looking at all the software help there is no mention of a backup facility included in it. There is only one asghost process running at the moment according to Task Manager and that is a Global Virtual Card Host - mean any more?

With it having the word 'ghost' in its filename, we thought it MIGHT be backup software (I didnt go checking)

Clearly thats ok then

Open up the console and goto LOGS and please post the log it created

Then goto where it auto loads on windows and UNTICK it

AVG slows computers down by the way. Id consider removing it and replacing it with Avira

anyways ~
Run COMBOFIX (Just follow the simple instructions it gives)
Post the FULL log it produces (Split into sections if need be)
