I'm generally pretty Tech Savvy :) , but lately this computer just keeps getting worse and worse :) .
If u see my specs, they may seem low but my mother and I built this computer some time ago from a bare case.
My problems:
Freezing- sometimes in WinMedia Player 11, and almost every time i scan with any apps. (thinking it's something to do with file 84.252.149.80 www.azfcu.org or at least that's one of the common files a scan stops on when comp freezes.)
System restore has been dead for the better part of 3 months. Every Time i try to create a restore point it says System restore point could not be completed, and encountered a problem. Restart and try again. (course i tried this and no change), i've also manually reinstalled system restore and it did not change any either. lol. i've tried simply deactivating and re-enabling the system restore feature(no change)
Windows Defragmenter will not run. Says, Defragmenter could not start.
And just in general The computer keeps slowing down.
AVG 8.5 runs and scans as it should but keeps listing alot of my system files i fully understand Not to delete as infected.

I have the following tools:
Defender Pro PC Repair (only, not the bundle)
Hijackthis(renamed and shows at [bleep].exe i do appologise for this ahem*Vulgarity but it seemed funny :) )
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
VundoFix(although i've never found a vundo infected file on this computer)
Ad-aware2008
A-squared free
AVG Free 8.5
CCleaner
Spybot Search and Destory
Spybot S&D TeaTimer


I can supply a Hijackthis Log if wanted.
Anyone willing to help may easily become a new hero !(or a Ninja :) )

I suggest you go to the Malware Removal and Spyware Removal Forum and run all the steps located in the START HERE. These self-help tools will help you clean up 70% of problems on your own. If you are still having problems after doing the steps, then please post the reguested logs in THAT forum. If you are unable to run any of the tools then start a new topic in the malware forum and put this in the subject line...I am unable to run any malware tools

If you are still having problems after being given a clean bill of health from the malware expert, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).
