Hey, my laptop seemed super sluggish so I did a scan with SUPERantispyware and it noticed the virus PUP.bProtector.
I then proceeded to get it to delete the virus
but my laptop still seems pretty sluggish, even though it is normally quite good…
I am thinking that maybe, somehow the virus is still on my laptop?
can anyone help me? 
Thanks
Matt
PUP = not a virus / Possible Unwanted Program
usually toolbar crapware/adware that comes bundled with other downloads
if you want a viris check, run first 4 programs here as they are listed and attach logs … not copy and paste
ok, I shall do that, give me a miute
If you dont want to get PUPs on your computer, PUP detection is disabled by default.
Go to protection on the top, click on i think real time protection, go to File system shield and also to web shield, on
the top right is a button that says settings, choose efficiency on the left and choose scan for potentially unwanted programs. 
where abouts is the protection part?
while malware programs like malwarebytes / superantispyware and others…pup detection is crapware, but avast also class programs as pup bc of what they can do
there are several post in this forum where factory installed programs from HP / Toshiba / Dell is detected as pup by avast. so you need to be sure what it is before you take any action…
and as you see from repeated posts in this forum, when pup is detected most users think it is a virus, guessing that is why it is default off
I dunno if this is anything to do with any of this, but C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe just opened by itself, what could have caused that?
and also, OTL scan is taking ages, and aswMBR download is only on 1,009 KB after ~20 mins downloading, this may take a while.
these are the first 3
still waiting upon aswMBR to download…
are you using Bullguard antivirus?
is your previous used antivirus Norton Symantec / McAfee / Kaspersky ?
log experts are notified, should be here soon…
I am using the free version of bullguard atm, not been able to buy any yet, and yes, I have gone between the 3 previously.
You should remove completely before running any other AV like Avast otherwise you will encounter problems probaply.
run removal tools for previous used AV to clear any leftover files that may conflict
So remove the antivirus systems completely? sure
run tools for the AV you have uninstalled and no longer use …
you have lots of leftover files … or are they still there?
running multiple AV will give you a slow machine, windows errors and false detections
read reply from quietman7 here. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic186533.html
Do you know how many antivirus programs active to your computer?
Norton, BullGuard, McAfee, Kaspersky, BitDefender.
All this must be removed. Then do the following.
Download DDS and save it to your Desktop from here:
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr
Double click dds to run the tool.
* When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
1. DDS.txt
2. Attach.txt
Save both reports to your desktop. DDS.txt and Attach.txt attach back to topic.
that may be why then, I hadn’t got around to removing them all
Argus, I do not have BitDefender on my computer…
Does it say I do? Because I have never installed it.
BitDefender driver
DRV:[b]64bit:[/b] - [2013/01/25 14:33:16 | 000,350,160 | ---- | M] (BitDefender S.R.L.) [File_System | On_Demand | Running] -- C:\Windows\SysNative\drivers\Trufos.sys -- (Trufos)
Bullguard use Bitdefender virus engine, maybe that is why the log show some bitdefender files
