Rudolf Posted October 2, 2010 ID:321963 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Hi all,I'm having serious trouble with some nasty piece of software on a friend's laptop.It's an HP Vista laptop and I think it has been infected with Fast Browser Search.But the computer is so slow, it's unusable. Logging in takes ages, and as soon as I log on all apps start crashing and Windows starts Error Reporting.AVG Free 9.0 is running in the background, but the one time I was able to get into the GUI it errored when I wanted into the 'Advanced Settings' screen.I ran combofix several times anyway, but only once it made it into the result log afterwards.Tried booting into safe mode, but it hangs on crcdisk.sys.I'd like to have malwarebytes or any other tool fix this for me, but right now I have a hard time running/installing anything at all.I'm out of ideas, please advise.

Rudolf Posted October 3, 2010 Author ID:322274 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I managed to fix the NTFS filesystem and the performance has improved greatly.There are still some issues I need to sort out, but I don't think they are malware related.This thread can be closed, thank you.
