Laptop is Extremely slow when loading web pages!!!
« on: November 03, 2017, 11:34:58 PM »
I have run a MalWareBytes and an Avast Scan and nothing was detected on either one.  At first I thought it was because we moved and now have slower internet but my husbands laptop seems to be doing well and he usually has multiple browsers open at one time.  I have a HP ENVY and am running Windows 10.  Sometimes I have to click reload for something to load.

One more thing.

  • Open Notepad (click Start button -> type notepad.exe -> press Enter)
  • Copy text from code block below and paste it into Notepad
Code: [Select]
CHR NewTab: Default ->  Not-active:"chrome-extension://fbbnihfalekonbonghmnficmklijeoop/newtab.html"
  • Go to File -> Save As
  • Make sure that  UTF-8 is selected as Encoding (left side of Save button)
  • Save it as fixlist.txt on Desktop
  • Open again FRST and click on button Fix
  • Wait until FRST finishes
  • fixlog.txt should be genereted and opened. Attach it your post and wait further instructions.

When I open Notepad there is no place that says start.  Am I supposed to open one of the reports that I sent in?

He means the (windows)  start button in lower left corner of your desktop   ;)

Anyway if you already have notepad open, just continue ....

Good. That's it.

The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.
Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
Remove disinfection tools
Create registry backup
Purge System Restore

Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

@SASS DRAKE

Why would you suggest to purge system restore points? Aren't they important in case of some crazy incident?

Thanks
