    Use the stickied 'speed up a slow pc' thread, or install more memory.

    Download, install, update and run a Quick Scan with Malwarebytes' AntiMalware. When complete, choose 'Remove Selected' if there is anything to remove and Reboot your computer.

    After restart, open the program again and go to 'Logs'. Double click on the log produced for today and post the contents here.


    Next;

    Download, install and open CCleaner. Run Cleaner.
    Then using the same program; Go to Tools > Start up and click on the save to text file button in the bottom right hand corner. Save the text file to your Desktop. Go to Tools > Uninstall and repeat the exercise.
    Post both of these in your reply.

    even with 3gb of RAM,?

    Look in Task Manager and see where all the memory is going. Make sure you view processes from all users.

    Post a HijackThis log, and running MBAM as mentioned won't hurt

    What do you mean?

    Follow the picture guide, then look at the troubleshooting section, and tell me exactly where you go wrong:

  • I managed to d/l it ok but as it starts its scan i get a box up saying: For some reason your system denied write access to Hosts file. If any hijacked domains are in this file, Hijackthis may NOT be able to fix this

    You don't get this if you follow the picture guide as suggested, or read the troubleshooting section.

    In any case, the information is still usable even without running it as admin. Just run a scan and post the result already :p
