Malware or Something Makes Computer Games Slow

[JGamez]

Hi I was told to make a new topic and I will explain whats happening. My computer which I recently wiped for other reasons is still acting slow. Whenever I run a game that shouldn't need any more resources it still slow. I thought Malwarebytes' protections were slowing it down and it may partially be the case if there is any suggestions please let me know.

Sorry for not responding sooner here are the fresh new logs. I do admit that I have UTorrent downloaded but never use it. I have checked and it is disabled.

Step 1

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop.

NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST/FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system

Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.

If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.

When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply.

Step 2

Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, update it and perform a threat scan. Post your log file.

In your next reply, post the following log files:

• Fixlog log
• Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware log

fixlist.txt
