  • OK bear with me here , cos I can't read that on my phone (int pub :beer:) So when you say running slow do you mean "when Browsing" or "Excel files" or "you tube" or "creating my CV"? , I started typing this about 16:15 cos i cant scroll back so easy here . Someone will look at your HJT (please) but since malwarebytes is "clear" could you please post the log for that too cos it could be out of date , just post the version bit and database level will do. ..... Aargh phone just rang so this ain't good.

    in the notification area theres a bit that says restart your pc to finish install updates,ive restarted a couple of times but that message is still there,im not sure if that makes any differance,there was a windows update this morning and my pc blue screened half way through it.

    http://hijackthis.de/en ... paste logfile in there. All looks OK in general, although it advises the item below as being a resource hog.

    O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE

    But I'm no HJT expert so maybe wait for other opinions. :)

    pc's rarely go slow overnight unless something happened - something added, installed, changed? Your logs look ok
