Is there an alternative to mediafire? Don't get beyond stage of 'engine loading'. So files had been uploaded by me earlier, but I can't access the URL info to send you the htm files. I'll keep trying.

This is the link for the analysis AVZ.

I'll now run the search scan again for drive C - this took for ever last time and never finished, but let me see.

I have attached the most recent AVZ LOG. This time I ran with the application's default settings. Process masking is still identified - but the scan took a lot less time. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Ok it is spyware doctor masking the processes, although why it is doing that I have no idea

Is your system still running slow

I am wondering now if Avast is alerting on unencrypted data from spyware doctor

We have a diagnosis! Thank you. Why don't I start by removing the spyware doctor application? You agree?

Good idea on spyware doctor as MBAM is better

For IE have you set it to clear caches when closed ?

Go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Advanced tab
Scroll down to the Security section
Place a tick in the "Empty temporary internet folder when browser is closed"
OK out

It might also be a reasonable practice to use TFC every day or so

Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop
  • Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
  • It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
  • Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two.  Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
  • Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

Thank you. Yes, box was checked. If I may run something by you please. I notice that IE gets hung up whenever the avast icon (notification area below right) does not turn when clicking to go to a website - it remains static. Or vice versa, i.e. avast icon does not turn because IE is hung up, or whatever may be the root cause. When i open up avast it appears it is showing some activity - but still, it is something I have noted. Does this mean anything to you? Thanks.

The TFC did not do anything for IE speed. But I'll do as you suggest and run every now and then.
Is there anything in the internet settings that I might have where access to sites may be slowed? I have things set at medium high security. Thanks.

I ran a full avast scan. No threat found! Good news. Just a real pain that IE is working so slowly. I will be traveling from tomorrow Monday afternoon (UK time) through Tuesday (UK time). I will see if a different internet connection will do me some good. Can try that late on Tuesday. Will advkise then. Thanks.

Ok, I uninstalled the entire slate of google apps as well, and reinstalled parts that I use but not 'spyware doctor' (which can come as an add-on). The machine is faster. Not sure whether it is the google thing or perhaps a better internet connection (or both). Every now and then still something 'odd' happens, such as IE 'loosing' the webpage and instead showing some peculiar message. Also, I ran avast again, and again no threats found.

Would you be OK with me running things for a couple of days still and then letting you know? Would appreciate. Thank you.

For sure - with regards to addons I only use one as I find the rest a waste of space

Well, ran without problems for all these days, however when I wanted to do a windows back-up today, it didn't work. I initiatiet the back-up action, the window indicates that back-up is running, however subsequently it simply goes back to the original status and the action of backing up terminates. No idea how to fix this now. Andre'
