Given a hand-me-down laptop with IE getting redirected

[Robertodole]

When I first received this laptop, my mom no longer wanted it because her boot file had been corrupted, so it wouldn't start up. My dad bought her a new one for Christmas, so once I fixed the issue with the boot file, the computer became mine. However, my Mom had run this computer for years with no form of virus protection or malware protection (her line of thought was "Well, if I've done it before, then it can't be that bad). Needless to say, once it was mine I immediately installed Avast and Malwarebytes. I ran Malwarebytes fine, but Avast froze before finishing. Now this computer usually freezes after no more than 5 hours, no matter what I'm doing on it, so I thought nothing of it freezing during Avast running, especially since Avast got to 99% done with no real problems. I had a thread at Majorgeeks to help speed it up, though its been almost 2 weeks with no response (also, they didnt find any malware when we went through that step. Today I tried to download a video off of mediafire, and instead was redirected to www.dowloadfileshere.com which tried to trick me into downloading api Downloader. I'm not sure what/how bad this infection is, but this is the first time in 2 weeks of use that I've even seen a redirect (well, maybe not, I thought I just mis clicked once or twice before, but still, it's subtle).

Here's the MBAM log:

Oh forgot to mention some of my symptoms:

Ever since I got the pc, its run slowly, however the longer it's been on, the more slowly it runs. At a certain point, it tells me the minimum size of the paging file is too small, and that windows is increasing the paging size. Finally, once the computer needs a restart, I start getting errors saying "Out of memory at line 7" or similar things.

Here's the Roguekiller report:

OK, lets run some scans............

Download Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit from HERE

• Unzip the contents to a folder in a convenient location.
  
• Open the folder where the contents were unzipped and run mbar.exe
  
• Follow the instructions in the wizard to update and allow the program to scan your computer for threats.
  
• Click on the Cleanup button to remove any threats and reboot if prompted to do so.
  
• Wait while the system shuts down and the cleanup process is performed.
  
• Perform another scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit to verify that no threats remain. If they do, then click Cleanup once more and repeat the process.
  
• When done, please post the two logs produced they will be in the MBAR folder..... mbar-log.txt and system-log.txt
  

To attach a log if needed:

Bottom right corner of this page.

New window that comes up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Note:

If no additional threats were found, verify that your system is now running normally, making sure that the following items are functional:

Internet access

Windows Update

Windows Firewall

If there are additional problems with your system, such as any of those listed above or other system issues, then run the fixdamage tool included with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit and reboot.

Verify that your system is now functioning normally.

MrC

[Robertodole]

Mbar found nothing Everything seems to be working fine, though I havent run the computer for 5 hours yet, so I'm unsure if it's still going to freeze at that point. I can definitely access the internet and update windows, and windows firewall is on.

[MrCharlie]

OK, let me know.....MrC

[Robertodole]

After 3 and a half hours it seems to be running fine. I'd test it longer, but my work schedule hasn't been cooperating with me :-\ So, the reports say its all clean, right?

[MrCharlie]

So, the reports say its all clean, right?

I didn't see any of the reports so I can't tell and you decided everything was OK...not me.

MrC

[Robertodole]

But, I posted logs before I said that... DDS, RogueKiller and mbam logs at least...
