Welcome to the forum, not much showing, lets run some scans:

Please download and run ComboFix.

The most important things to remember when running it is to disable all your malware programs and run Combofix from your desktop.

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Please make sure you click download buttons that look similar to this, not "sponsored ad links":

Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Information on disabling your malware programs can be found Here.

Make sure you run ComboFix from your desktop.

Give it at least 30-45 minutes to finish if needed.

Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

---------->NOTE<----------

If you get the message Illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion after you run ComboFix....please reboot the computer, this should resolve the problem. You may have to do this several times if needed.

tdss came up clean. I think i figured out the culprit of the sluggishness though and its gone now. I had Mcafee installed but it seemed to be sucking resources so i switched to eset. However not all running instances of mcafee deleted so i ran a special tool from mcafees site to get rid of all instances of mcafee nd everything is much better now. Thanks for all your help

OK........

 

A little clean up to do....
 
Please Uninstall ComboFix: (if you used it)
 
Press the Windows logo key + R to bring up the "run box"
 
Copy and paste next command in the field:
 
ComboFix /uninstall
 
Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /
 
cf2.jpg
 
Then hit enter. (it may look like CF is re-installing but it's not)
This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files,  hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and clears System Restore cache and create new Restore point
 
(If that doesn't work.....you can simply rename ComboFix.exe to Uninstall.exe and double click it to complete the uninstall or download and run the uninstaller)
 
---------------------------------
 
Please download OTC to your desktop. (This will clean up most of the tools and logs)
 
Double-click OTC to run it. (Vista and up users, please right click on OTC and select "Run as an Administrator")
Click on the CleanUp! button and follow the prompts.
(If you get a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the Internet, please allow the connection.)
You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process, choose Yes.
After the reboot all the tools we used should be gone.
Note: Some more recently created tools may not yet be removed by OTC. Feel free to manually delete any tools it leaves behind.
 
Any other programs or logs you can manually delete. (right click.....Delete)
IE: RogueKiller.exe, RKreport.txt, RK_Quarantine folder, C:\FRST folder, FRST-OlderVersion folder, MBAR folder, etc....AdwCleaner > just run the program and click uninstall.
 
Note:
If you used FRST and can't delete the quarantine folder:
Download the fixlist.txt to the same folder as FRST.exe.
Run FRST.exe and click Fix only once and wait
That will delete the quarantine folder created by FRST.
The rest you can manually delete.
 
-------------------------------
 
Any questions...please post back.
