Resolving Host Constantly yet both Avast & Malwarebytes find nothing

[happygooner]

Hello

 

Over the last couple of days my computer has started to crash almost 50% of the time when trying to load new web pages. It will eventually load after repeatedly refreshing/typing out page address but initially all I get is resolving host.

 

I am running windows 8 and have already tried flushing dns.

 

When that didn't do the trick I carried out a full scan on both avast and malwarebytes which found a few pup files and 1 trojan  which was successfully removed. Running another scan on each program seems to confirm this.

 

However when I then continue to use the internet this same resolving host message keeps coming up.

 

I have downloaded hijack this to create a log file and initially it said it was unable to find one and did I want to start a new. I then did some more research before downloading roguekiller, running a scan there and deleting suggested entries. Hijack this still won't save a log file.

 

Having been through a similar procedure before I was able to do all this without much fuss but am now starting to feel a little in over my head. Please help.

 

My rogue killer scan is as follows:

Thank you Borislav

 

Whatever was afflicting the computer appears to have resolved itself so I have my suspicions it was a problem with the isp rather than anything related to malware in the end. Please feel free to close this thread and if the problems comes back I will start a new.

 

Thanks again
