  8. Hello, They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you. Before we start please read and note the following: Limit your internet access to posting here, some infections just wait to steal typed-in passwords. Please be patient. I know it is frustrating when your PC isn't working properly, but malware removal takes time. Don't run any scripts or tools on your own, unsupervised usage may cause more harm than good. Do not paste the logs in your posts, attachments make my work easier. There is a Attach Files option below which you can use to attach your reports. Always attach reports from all tools. Stay with me to the end, the absence of symptoms doesn't mean that your machine is fully operational.

  16. Hello, They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you. Windows XP end of support warning! As 8th of April 2014 has passed, this Operating System is not longer supported by the Microsoft. Any patches, updates or security releases are ceased for this System. Windows XP end of supportThis is just an information for you if not aware. My recommendation would be to start thinking about replacing it with some newer edition, like Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8. Your PC is heavily outdated, we can check it for infection and remove if it exist, but there is a big chance you'll get infected in future. Tell me what is your decision?
  17. WARNING: I noticed you have more than one antivirus installed. Never install more than one Antivirus! Rather than giving you extra protection, it will decrease the reliability of it seriously! The reason for this is that if both products have their automatic (Real-Time) protection switched on, your system may lock up due to both software products attempting to access the same file at the same time. Also because more than one Antivirus installed are not compatible with each other, it can cause system performance problems and a serious system slowdown. Please uninstall either Avira or Microsoft. First, go to Control Panel and uninstall following (skip lines that cannot be uninstalled):- Adobe Reader X- Java 6 Update 29- Java 7 Update Latest versions of Adobe Reader available here --> http://get.adobe.com/uk/reader/Make sure to uncheck optional offers.
