WorriedGuy Posted September 2, 2016 ID:1059886 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I've noticed my pc has often become very busy and even freezing even if I'm not doing anything on it. I couldnt set up my malwarebytes anti-malware and thought it was due to MS Defender. When running Defender it would run and run but never really give any report. Today I tried to change back to malwarebytes and I coulnd't. I ran the two reports attached. 1) I dont recognize this 192.254.234.179 (hosted by http://websitewelcome.com/) www.advanced-printerzzzs.com (one of my domains with a modified ending). 2) I also see dropbox mentioned in document, I havent used Dropbox for a very long time (years). Thanks for *any* input! Addition.txt FRST.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorriedGuy Posted September 3, 2016 Author ID:1060042 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Check Disk have been on 23% for 3 hours. Is that normal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 3, 2016 ID:1060045 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Nope, that's not normal. Can you reboot your computer? Is it showing some messages or it is just stuck? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorriedGuy Posted September 3, 2016 Author ID:1060047 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Just states scanning at 23%. Will reboot now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 3, 2016 ID:1060071 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Okay, now I need you to do this command from Command Prompt: chkdsk C: > %userprofile%\Desktop\report.txt When it is done, attach report.txt from your Desktop.

TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 3, 2016 ID:1060083 Share Posted September 3, 2016 It looks okay. Let's make some maintenance: 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 finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt. Please attach it to your reply. fixlist.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorriedGuy Posted September 3, 2016 Author ID:1060111 Share Posted September 3, 2016 it lagged once but need to try it a bit more. Was it malware? Should I change passwords, credit card numbers etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 3, 2016 ID:1060114 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Nope, I didn't spot signs of malware. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorriedGuy Posted September 3, 2016 Author ID:1060117 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Thanks so much so far. Can you recommend any disc repair software or should I buy a new one? Tried chkdsk again and it always get stuck at 23%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 3, 2016 ID:1060118 Share Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) It isn't malfunctioned based on second Check Disk run. However this is known problem with Windows 10 to have check disk stuck at some point. Edited September 3, 2016 by TwinHeadedEagle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorriedGuy Posted September 4, 2016 Author ID:1060173 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Good to hear. Tried to scan with Win Defender but it goes extremely slow, about 15% scanned after 12 hours. My MB anti-malware refuses to open, nothing happens after double clicking. Downloading again would mean paying again since I can't find the code or purchase receipt in my documents. Don't know what to do really... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 4, 2016 ID:1060175 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) There are some issues with your computer and that is sure. Did you have any BSOD on 2nd september?

WorriedGuy Posted September 4, 2016 Author ID:1060182 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Extremely seldom I have BSOD, and not on Sep 2. The only unusual thing I can think of about my laptop is that I hadent had a (working) battery in it for 2 years, I always have it plugged in. Enclose screenshot from CPUID.

TwinHeadedEagle Posted September 4, 2016 ID:1060199 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) I think you have some overheating issues, based on these graphs. I could be wrong, but it looks unusually high temp. Have you ever cleaned your laptop from dust? If not, now is the time. Meanwhile you should contact MalwareBytes support to obtain your license. https://www.malwarebytes.com/support/ Edited September 4, 2016 by TwinHeadedEagle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
