All programs not responding

Hi

Having trouble with the kids' laptop. It is running very very slowly. Programs keep hanging as not responding.
Ran Malware Bytes last night and found a program Antivir (I guess it was the Antivirus virus) I removed that but it's no better.

I have run Hijack this and here is the log

    Have you corrected the time & date on the laptop, if not do so now.

    Run a full scan with Malwarebytes but make sure you update the definition files in Malwarebytes first before running a scan, let Malwarebytes remove anything it may find and then post the log file here.

    On second go at running Malware Bytes and it is hanging at a System 32 file amxread.dll. It got stuck there last night but went through at second attempt. Not looking too promising this time.

    The date and time showing on the laptop are correct.

    ETA It has moved on again now.

    Please can this be confiremd by someone else but I think these can be removed:

    R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - *{CFBFAE00-17A6-11D0-99CB-00C04FD64497} - (no file)
    R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - *{EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)

    Think your problem is this which is apparently bad:
    O1 - Hosts: 200.124.131.116 casinocontroller.co(m)
    (altered to ensure not a link)

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)

    O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [Launcher] %WINDIR%\SMINST\launcher.exe
    This apparently is linked to DownloadWare and found in Program FilesKFH

    O9 - Extra button: PartyCasino - {B4B52284-A248-4c51-9F7C-F0A0C67FCC9D} - C:\Program Files\PartyGaming\PartyCasino\RunApp.exe (file missing)

    O16 - DPF: {F7EDBBEA-1AD2-4EBF-AA07-D453CC29EE65} (Flash Casino Helper Control) - link deleted

    Therefore all casino related things look bad. Do an UPDATED and LATEST VERSION scan of malwarebytes and lets take it from there!

    That's what I was wondering as well luci but OP ststes laptop is set to correct time/date?

    Can't see HJT log giving wrong date OP, it must be your laptop that is incorrect, check that the bios is set to correct time/date.

    Incorrect dates wiill cause problems especially if updating programmes/software

    If the laptop is the kids why are they online gambling?
