Hello,

I have been trying to sort out a problem on my mother's pc for a couple of weeks now. Firstly I had to get rid of the Starware toolbar which was slowing her pc down. I thought that I'd managed to do this but she is still having problems. Initially the pc starts up fine and connects to the internet with no problems however after about 10 - 15 minutes it slows right down and the internet connection goes down. It seems that there might still be some adware or something but I can't seem to find anything. Attached is HJT log. Can anyone have a look and let me know what I could be missing.

Run AVG Anti-Spyware!

# Next select the "Reports" icon at the top.
# Select the "Save report as" button in the lower left hand of the screen and save it to a text file on your system (make sure to remember where you saved that file, this is important).
# Close AVG and reboot your system back into Normal Mode.

Download Mwav,



double click on it and it will extract to C:\kaspersky. Click

minutes to download the new definitions. Once it's updated, click on mwavscan
to launch the programme.

Use the defaults of:

Memory
startup folders
Registry
system folders
services

Choose drive , all drives and, click scan all files
and then click scan/clean. After it finishes scanning and cleaning post
the log here with a new hijack this log.

Note: this is a very thorough scanner, it might take anything up to an hour
or more, depending on how many drives you have and how badly infected your
pc is.



Highlight the portion of the scan that lists infected items and hold
CTRL + C to Copy then paste it here. The whole log with be extremely
big so there is no way to copy the whole thing. I just need the
infected items list.




post another hijack this log, the AVG Anti-Spyware log and the Mwav scan log.
