Hey Fellas, I'm obviously aware I have some form of virus or Trojan as my pc is running poorly in any online function. After a few minutes of browsing, my hard drive sounds like an F16 taking off (no, it's not a hardware issue, my PC is newer and about 70% empty memory) Any generic starting point would be gratefully accepted. I have most noteworthy adware, spyware, AV programs at my disposal, just not sure what to run and in what order. I have 65 processes running. memory says 74% under task manager. Cheers
are you sure its your hdd and not your fans making the noise.if it is your hdd i would run a health check on it with the manufacturers software.just because its newer doesnt make it infallable.im sure 2old is lurking somewhere if it turns out to be a virus.do the health check first.
If you think it might be a virus - run the following to check that out: Scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop. Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer. Make sure that Addition option is checked. Press Scan button and wait. The tool will produce two logfiles on your desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt. Please attach both logs to your next reply.
