Title: My Computer Has Been Running Oddly
Post by: ImmanuelX on October 27, 2012, 05:24:00 PM
I run anti-virus scans every week, update my drivers/windows if there are any and run a clean-up. But for the past few days my computer has been running a little off. And its dropping frame rate in some places, the reboots aren't actually rebooting. I'm finding myself having to, as much as I hate it, hard shutdown. Its running far slower than I have ever experienced as well. Worst thing I fear is it could be a hardware issue but I'm attaching my recent log from Malwarebytes to see if you could potentially find the issue for me.

Also attach AdwCleaner / OTL / aswMBR logs

Hi no apparent malware visible..  Have you recently emptied your temporary files and defragged the hard drive

Yeah thats what I feared. I'm gonna go ahead and go through that then and see what I can do. I wanted to make sure to see if you guys were seeing anything I wasnt.

My last Defrag on my D drive was a few days ago. I'm going ahead and doing C drive considering its been a month since the last one.

To empty the temp files I would recommend

Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer (http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe) to your desktop

Done all of that. I'll let you know the results when I'm able to get home from work. See if there are any improvements.

Well the computer is running a little back on the normal side but I'm still noticing some odd behavior, for example my CPU usage is sky rocketing quite often while I'm running little to no programs and staying up at about 90-100% for a constant amount of time.

I'm assuming there might be a rootkit behind the scenes somewhere.

Nevermind, Malewarebytes would have picked up on that. I dont know, maybe its just this client I'm using. Its been acting weird on me. I did a full uninstall/reinstall with it, and it still acts up a little bit.

Anyways, thanks. You've been a lot of help like always.

Lets get a second opinion on the MBR, as that is the one problem that can survive a re-install
