Hi, recently my computer has been pretty sluggish, and i constantly hanging when using Firefox and sometimes Internet Explorer, i have scanned with Spybot, Ad-Aware and CCleaner but the problem has not been resolved. Is there anything in my logs to suggest something is wrong?

Thanks for any help, Dan

I do not see a real-time antivirus tool running - that could become a serious problem even if your on-demand scanning is being done regularly.

Suggest that you add a real-time antivirus tool and do a complete scan. There are some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including AVG and Avast!.

Here's an updated log, i can't really say straight away if there is an improvement, because the delays are pretty sporadic, but it does _seem_ to be better now.

Please ensure that BOClean and AVG Anti-Spyware are not running real-time (always checking) at the same time as they could conflict with each other.



You are not running HijackThis (HJT) from a desired location. You really need to setup a dedicated folder for HJT items to avoid horrible clutter and/or potential lost backup issues.

It's best that the HijackThis tool NOT be located in its current location (particularly on your Desktop or in a TEMP folder). This way you can more easily undo any changes if something goes wrong.

• Create a new folder in your C: Drive.
• Name the FOLDER HijackThis (or HJT) such as C:\Program Files\HijackThis or C:\HJT and
• Move the HijackThis.exe file into the newly created FOLDER.
• Run HJT from there (and revise your shortcut accordingly).

PC seemsto be running better now. I have noticed a different problem with a P2P client, when i open the software, i get a "not responding" screen for 2 minutes or so before it actually starts working. Any ideas as to why this could be?

Thanks, Dan.
