So, umm, yeah my laptop had suspiciously slowed down recently… I have Windows 7 (64-bit)
I ran avast and it detected some minimal threats, they were moved to the chest, but there were no speed improvements…
Could it still be a fixable virus/malware problem?
Here are the logs.
As for aswMBR, I had to set ‘AV scan’ to ‘none’, otherwise Avast would crash and aswMBR wouldn’t continue scanning, I don’t know why
Nothing readily apparentr, it may just need a tidy up and defrag

Have you defragmented the drive recently ?
It had honestly been quite a while since I defragmented because there’s high probability of ‘power outs’ where I stay, and if I am unlucky enough it will happen while I’m defragging xD I totally forgot about it and immediately thought I had malware (someone’s paranoid xD)
I’ll just have my drive defragmented somewhere else with reliable electricity and see if my device will get faster then…
Thank you so much for all your work and patience with me (and everyone)…
No problem let me know the result
