Bought a new laptop (lenovo y400 ideapad) a couple of weeks back, not sure when i noticed the slow internet speeds and frequent connectivity issues but i am simply paranoid about it. Also, being a curious person, i ran aswMBR to test it out but realised it would always end with a ’ avast! antirootkit has stopped working ’ after half a minute or so. Also noticed there is a ’ disk 0 unknown mbr code ’ during the aswmbr scan if that matters.
Is it better for me to post or attach the logs? I will attach it this round again.
EDIT: Just thought i’d let you know, my laptop was configured by the techs at the school ( it was a requirement for all students ), not sure in what way it is configured though.
I won’t lose any data or programs right? I need most of the adobe software for my current modules . Thanks in advance essexboy.
The MBR looks good, so that is a bonus. I can see no apparent malware so I will empty all temporary files and then run a diagnostics programme
Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop
[*] Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
[*]It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
[*]Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
[*]Once it’s finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.
THEN
Please download MiniToolBox, save it to your desktop and run it.
The connectivity issue seems to occur only when connected to my home wifi and it happens once or twice a day lasting from 5 minutes to an hour , i have no problem when connected to other networks. Is it a router compatibility issue with my laptop? The rest of my devices at home never experience this problem. Nevertheless thank you for your help essexboy.
The problem isn’t that bad though, so i can probably live with it. Thanks for your help and please continue fighting against malware!
I have been stalking you the past 3 years in various forums helping others out and i really appreciate your knowledge and kindness. Take care and stay safe!
