jamesost Posted April 8, 2016 ID:1032572 Share Posted April 8, 2016 This just started a few weeks back, but the computer has been running very sluggish and browser keeps hanging up and/or crashing at random times. Wonder if someone can look over the logs and see if anything stands out that is causing the issue. Appreciate any help. FRST.txt Addition.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinHeadedEagle Posted April 8, 2016 ID:1032573 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hello, Did you run MalwareBytes scan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesost Posted April 9, 2016 Author ID:1032711 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Sorry. I did run it this afternoon. Found over 2300 items lol. Removed them, restarted, ran it again and this time found 0 items. Re-ran FRST and attached new logs just in case you can look at them and noticed anything else that needs a fixin.

TwinHeadedEagle Posted April 9, 2016 ID:1032839 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine. Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable. Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop: Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work! Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool. (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). 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, called Fixlog.txt. Please upload it to your reply. fixlist.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinHeadedEagle Posted April 12, 2016 ID:1033474 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Okay, your PC should be clean now. Is everything running fine? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesost Posted April 12, 2016 Author ID:1033618 Share Posted April 12, 2016 The browser isnt crashing now from what I can tell. The computer is still running slow at times. Throughout the day, the computer just gets loud like the HD is reading/loading something or the computer is working on a task. The Task Manager doesnt show anything though. CPU usage low and System Idle is around 98%. But it's like it's doing something. After about an hour it stops and is fine for awhile. Not sure what is causing this. As long as nothing is on the computer making it run unwanted tasks I guess it's good then. That was my main concern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinHeadedEagle Posted April 13, 2016 ID:1033805 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This is and older PC with low resources and running Kaspersky that is known to eat ram memory and CPU resources is not something surprising. You can also follow these directions to make exclusions --> But in my eyes this is the issue. Kaspersky vs. MalwareBytes vs. low resources PC.

jamesost Posted April 13, 2016 Author ID:1033845 Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the info. Is there a different free anti-virus you would recommend over Kaspersky. I know with free you're not getting alot of features and live protection, but something that might run better than Kaspersky. I'll also try that exclusion article yu sent and see if that helps. Thx.

TwinHeadedEagle Posted April 13, 2016 ID:1033846 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I think you can try Avast, it is a decent free antivirus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
