pc running very slow. Help

Recently I got a virus on my computer and it caused my computer to run slow and stopped me from accessing the internet. I have scanned my pc with Malwarebytes Adaware se, superantispware, avast, Mcafee and Registry Clean Expert. These programs took a good amount of viruses off my pc. I can access files faster than before but it is still pretty slow. Also, I can only access the internet through mozilla (safe mode). Is there anything I can do to access the internet normally and make my pc faster? Thanks

I don't know if this is of any use, but here's my hijackthis log

sounds like you still have a virus on your computer as i read somewhere a few days ago that there was another virus that slows down your pc and wont let you install ANYTHING or search the internet but if it did let you every time you search something with the word VIRUS it shutsdown your pc so all i can say is do another scan of you pc with avast and maybe uninstall NORTON or i think it is now called macafee as they are a huge hod of rescources.

Hope i helped

 

If all the viruses are gone, your next step is to streamline your security setup. Too much security on your computer will slow you down.

This is my security setup on my xp sp3 computer
1. zone alarm firewall (not the suite)
2. avira free antivirus
3. firefox browser (not as vulnerable as other browsers)
4. sandboxie or returnil (Whenever I am in areas of the internet that might be unsafe I surf with my browser in a sandbox).

Nothing has ever been able to defeat my simple setup. You might also consider using "returnil" instead of forcefield, very powerful software that can defeat all known/unknown viruses.

 

Thanks to everyone who replied. Every time I try to access the internet through mozilla Firefox I get the message "svchost has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" Most of the time I can't access the internet but I can download normally through programs like flashget and orbit. Is there a reason why this is happening.

 

You have a running malware process that is your problem:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\dll\svchost.exe

This is a “bad guy” the real process runs normally in c:\windows\system32

“Dealio Toolbar” is also Not Good….

Attempt to un-install Dealio Toolbar using the add/remove programs in your control panel.

Then use HJT to fix these lines in your Log (if they still remain)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SearchSettings] C:\Program Files\Dealio Toolbar\SearchSettings.exe

O20 - Winlogon Notify: avgrsstarter - avgrsstx.dll (file missing)



Next, use Windows Explorer to navigate to and delete this folder (in Red)

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\dll\svchost.exe


That should clear up your problems….
