vytasb Posted December 12, 2012 Author ID:622750 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I don't really think I'm infected, but here's my attachments. My computer got really slow after I had installed a game (sims 3 ambitions), since i liked sims 3 w/o the expansion well enough, I uninstalled ambitions, and I ran Ccleaner, Defraggler and I deleted my pagefile, restarted and reenabled the pagefile to start a new one, and my computer is back to it's normal speed. So I'm just asking here as a precaution. I haven't been infected in a couple of years. I'm an IT major and I usually know what to avoid. I have AVG free, Spybot with teatimer running all the time, and malwarebytes free. Thank you for the help, and here are the logs you asked for.attach.txtdds.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniac Posted December 13, 2012 ID:622928 Share Posted December 13, 2012 So problem is solved? Your log files are okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytasb Posted December 13, 2012 Author ID:623044 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Yes, the problem seems to have been solved. I think it was just resetting the pagefile. You said my logs were ok? That's good. I had another question. What are your thoughts on Spybot's TeaTimer function? I have read mixed reviews on it. Should I keep it or uninstall it?

Maniac Posted December 14, 2012 ID:623186 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Yes, they are okay.TeaTimer is not a bad tool, but take a note that can interfere with the changes you'll make on your system or more specifically with registry changes.Please manually delete DDS and HiJackThis.Some malware prevention tips:users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/prevention.htmlSafe surfing!
