1 gig of RAM will give a HUGH increase in speed. You definitely need more RAM regardless of any other problems
As you have VUNDO trojan ~
Please run COMBOFIX
Shut down your anti virus
Follow the simple instructions it gives
Post the COMPLETE log it creates here (Split into sections if need be)
If it comes up with a RENAMING error then RIGHT click the exe file and RENAME and call it QWERTY (Making the complete file name 'QWERTY.exe') Or SAVE as 'QWERTY' on download
Hi There
I'd be very careful advising a user to run CF
MBAM should remove the Trojan Vundo, if not there are dedicated tools to remove it which are easier for a user to use than CF.
I'd wait and see the new MBAM log

Hi There
OK I would also question this entry:
C:\Program Files\IObit\IObit SmartDefrag\IObit SmartDefrag.exe
See here: http://www.systemlookup.com/search.php?type=filename&client=malwaresearch-ff&search=IObit%20SmartDefrag.exe

It's not malware as such, they are just 'borrowing' the intellectual property of others. Isn't that for what China is famous?0 -
Why?
