I have a strange issue, and see that it has been reported before. However, the topic is locked.

 

I did d/l the DDS software and have the files.

 

My problem is strange. I get Malwarebytes running and when it goes to check the files it can take a minute per file! It would take all month at that rate. System is VERY unresponsive and I, too, get "not responding" in task manager. However, yesterday I used REVO to uninstall it, and I rebooted and d/l the software again. It then ran the whole scan in 40 minutes! OH, I turn off NIS 2013, but that should not matter. 

 

Today, I tried it again (NIS disabled), and I was back to the slow, almost hung, status...Here is the result of my DDS...

Difficult to say for sure and the DDS log did not provide enough information to know for sure but something is going on according to the Event Logs.

I would suggest following the advice from the topic here Available Assistance for Possibly Infected Computers and having one of the Experts assist you with looking into your issue.

Thanks

I turned off advanced heuristics and it ran. I also disabled NIS2013. I then tried it again and it slowed down even on txt files. I do not believe I have a virus and wonder if 1 GB memory is OK any more. I am only using 32 bit XP, but I am not sure it would be worth spending money to upgrade to 4GB.

To get an accurate scan time difference you would have to reboot the computer between scans.... due to the windows caching of files.  Malwarebytes scan times will decrease between scans (if you don't reboot) because windows has already read the files and they are in the cache....

 

Hope that makes sense....
