Recommended Posts

Experts out here... Pl. help -

Chrome and Firefox stop working after sometime - and system also slows down erratically - And then I have to reboot - till this happens again. HELP!

Usually it looks like my network connection is not working - though other systems on the same network are fine - then the tabs on chrome or firefox become very unresponsive. System also becomes unresponsive/very sluggish.

Please help!

Thx!

Hello dreameh and :welcome:! My name is Maniac and I will be glad to help you solve your malware problem.

Please note:

  • If you are a paying customer, you have the privilege to contact the help desk at support@malwarebytes.org or here (http://helpdesk.malwarebytes.org/home). If you choose this option to get help, please let me know.
  • I recommend you to keep the instructions I will be giving you so that they are available to you at any time. You can save them in a text file or print them.
  • Make sure you read all of the instructions and fixes thoroughly before continuing with them.
  • Follow my instructions strictly and don’t hesitate to stop and ask me if you have any questions.
  • Post your log files, don't attach them. Every log file should be copy/pasted in your next reply.

Step 1

I see you are running Teatimer.

I suggest you to disable it because it can interfere with the changes you'll make on your system.

When everything is done and your log is clean again, you can enable it again.

If teatimer gives you a warning afterwards that some changes were made, allow this instead of blocking it.

How to disable TeaTimer <== click me for instructions.

After you disabled Teatimer, download ResetTeaTimer.exe to your desktop.

Then run ResetTeaTimer.exe.

This will only take a few seconds.

Step 2

Anti-Virus programs take up an enormous amount of your computer's resources when they are actively scanning your computer. Having two anti-virus programs running at the same time can cause your computer to run very slow, become unstable and even, in rare cases, crash. If you choose to install more than one Anti-Virus program on your computer, then only one of them should be active in memory at a time. My suggestion is to uninstall:

Ad-Aware Antivirus

Ad-Aware Browsing Protection

Microsoft Security Essentials

and to keep avast! Antivirus.

Also, uninstall µTorrent, because is against our policy:

http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=97700

Finally, reboot your PC.

Step 3

Please download Farbar Service Scanner and run it on the computer with the issue.

  • Make sure the following options are checked:
    • Internet Services
    • Windows Firewall
    • System Restore
    • Security Center
    • Windows Update

    [*]Press "Scan".

    [*]It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.

    [*]Please copy and paste the log to your reply.

In your next reply, post the following log files:

  • Farbar Service Scanner log
  • a new fresh DDS log file
