Computer Very Slow - Found Malware

If someone could have a look at what may be causing my computer to run so slowly I’d be very grateful.

I found malware so I am attaching the relevant reports.

Also, does anyone know if I can revert back to Windows 8. My computer recently updated to Windows 8.1 but I find the search tool on it extremely messy.

I’m asuming you did this? ********** **********

If so, the Remover may/may not need your Account Name.

Remover Notified

Yes I did it because the username is my full name and I didn’t want to put it up publicly. If its needed I can provide it via pm :).

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool by Farbar and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

[*]Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Under Optional Scan ensure “List BCD” and “Driver MD5” are ticked.
[*]Press Scan button.
[*]It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
[*]The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

@Interista

Do NOT modify original reports if you wanna help on this board. THE can provide assistance to you only and if the original report in your post is without any modification.

The full path is a bit value for malware analysis. If some of these tools we use in world-wide security forums does violates your privacy then would never have been allowed in use in hands of any helper around any forms.

Farbar reports.

I read this after attaching the Farbar reports so apologies for having done the same thing in these.

Do you want me to do the scans again?

The problem is, if I don’t use ******* then my name comes up (for e.g. “Joe Bloggs” is written everywhere). Is it ok to leave files on a public forum with this kind of information?

I cannot help you like this, I need unmodified reports…

If you’re sceptic, we can delete this topic after we finish…but beleive me, millions of users provide these reports every day, and they do not uncover anything sensitive…

OK, I’ll redo them and reattach them (or can I send them to you via pm?). I’m just a little paranoid that’s all.

Ok, send them via PM…

He can’t, there’s no such option.

I can’t work out how to do it via pm so I’m attaching them here.

Rest of the files.

Download attached fixlist.txt to your Desktop.
NOTE: => It’s important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needed a restart please make sure you let the system to restart normally and let the tool completes its run after restart.

The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
Note: If the tool warned you about the outdated version please download and run the updated version.

You can edit your posts and remove attachments when removal expert is done…

Fixlog attached.

How is the situation now?

Seems a lot better thanks. Videos, which were a big problem, play a lot more smoothly.

What was wrong with my computer?

It was full of adware and toolbars…

Please download DelFix by “Xplode” to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;

[] Remove disinfection tools
[
] Create registry backup
[*] Purge System Restore

Now click on “Run” button. Wait for the programme completes his work.
All the tools we used should be gone.
Tool will create and open an log report (DelFix.txt)
Note: The report will also be stored on C:\DelFix.txt

I don’t need DelFix log report.
