Computer slowed down, getting AVG warnings sometimes - posted in Virus, Spyware, Malware Removal: Hi guys,
 
 
PC is slow at startup since a few weeks and I get AVG warnings sometimes about some miner, etc.

Download : ADWCleaner to your desktop. Make sure you get the correct Download button. Sometimes the ads on BleepingComputer will mimic the real Download button which should say: Download Now @BleepingComputer

NOTE: If using Internet Explorer and you get an alert that stops the program downloading, click on the warning and allow the download to complete.

Close all programs, pause your anti-virus and run AdwCleaner (Vista or Win 7+ => right click and Run As Administrator).

Click on Scan and follow the prompts. Let it run unhindered. When done, click on the Clean button, and follow the prompts. Allow the system to reboot. You will then be presented with the report. Copy & Paste this report on your next reply.

The report will be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder.

Get FRST from http://www.bleepingc...very-scan-tool/You need to download the appropriate tool for your PC. If you don't know if you have a 32 or 64 bit system get them both. Only one will work and that's the right one.

Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.

Check the Addition.txt box

Press Scan button.

It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.

Please copy and paste log back here.

It will generate another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.

Get Process Explorer

http://live.sysinter...com/procexp.exe

Save it to your desktop then run it (Vista or Win7+ - right click and Run As Administrator).

View, Select Column, check Verified Signer, OK

Options, Verify Image Signatures

Click twice on the CPU column header to sort things by CPU usage with the big hitters at the top.

Wait a full minute then:

File, Save As, Save. Note the file name. Open the file on your desktop and copy and paste the text to a reply.

Copy the next 2 lines:

TASKLIST /SVC > \junk.txt

notepad \junk.txt

Open an Elevated Command Prompt:

Win 7: Start, All Programs, Accessories then right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator

Win 8: http://www.eightforu...indows-8-a.html

win 10: http://www.howtogeek...-in-windows-10/

Right click and Paste (or Edit then Paste) and the copied lines should appear.

Hit Enter if notepad does not open. Copy and paste the text from notepad into a reply.

Get the free version of Speccy:

http://www.filehippo.com/download_speccy/ (Look in the upper right for the Download

Latest Version button - Do NOT press the large Start Download button on the upper left!)

Download, Save and Install it. Tell it you do not need CCLEANER. Run Speccy. When it finishes (the little icon in the bottom left will stop moving),

File, Save as Text File, (to your desktop) note the name it gives. OK. Open the file in notepad and delete the line that gives the serial number of your Operating System.

(It will be near the top, 10-20 lines down.) Save the file. Attach the file to your next post. Attaching the log is the best option as it is too big for the forum. Attaching is a multi step process.

First click on More Reply Options

Then scroll down to where you see

Choose File and click on it. Point it at the file and hit Open.

Now click on Attach this file.

Description: Code Integrity is unable to verify the image integrity of the file \Device\HarddiskVolume5\Windows\System32\wow64.dll because the set of per-page image hashes could not be found on the system.

Open an elevated command prompt:

http://www.eightforu...indows-8-a.html

If you open an elevated command prompt it will by default open in c:\Windows\system32

Once you have an elevated command prompt:

Type:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

(I use two spaces so you can be sure to see where one space goes.)

Hit Enter. This will take a while (10-20 minutes) to complete. Once the prompt returns:

Reboot. Open an elevated Command Prompt again and type (with an Enter after the line):

sfc /scannow

This will also take a few minutes.

When it finishes it will say one of the following:

Windows did not find any integrity violations (a good thing)

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and repaired them (a good thing)

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some (or all) of them (not a good thing)

If you get the last result then type:

findstr /c:"[SR]" \windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log > %UserProfile%\desktop\junk.txt

Hit Enter. Then type::

notepad %UserProfile%\desktop\junk.txt

Hit Enter.

Copy the text from notepad and paste it into a reply.

After you finish SFC, regardless of the result:

1. Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso

http://images.malwar...om/vino/VEW.exe

and save it to your Desktop:

2. Right-click VEW.exe and Run AS Administrator

3. Under 'Select log to query', select:

* System

4. Under 'Select type to list', select:

* Error

* Warning

Then use the 'Number of events' as follows:

1. Click the radio button for 'Number of events'

Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box

Then click the Run button.

Notepad will open with the output log.

Please post the Output log in your next reply then repeat but select Application. (Each time you run VEW it overwrites the log so copy the first one to a Reply or rename it before running it a second time.)
