On Tuesday, May 8 I had a HUGE Windows update. Since then my computer has been running very slow. I hear the computer "working" in the background as I try to load a page or enter info.

I'm using Firefox as a broswer and never had any problems before. I ran AVAST and Malware Bytes whiched show no problems. Could the update be the issue?

Here's the OTL report

MY computer has suddenly gone deathly slow after a huge windows update a few days ago.

Hopefully you find the problem with the report:

Removed Malware Log...not used in this forum

[rshaffer61]

You need to start a new topic in the malware forum and put your OTL log in that topic. We don't use those logs outside of the malware forum.

I'm away from my computer and don't have access to the OTL report. Any chance you could paste it back here and I can cut and paste to the malware forum?

[rshaffer61]

Sorry once I edit it out then it's gone for good.
No problem when ever you have access to it again then just start the malware topic.
I take it then you are not using that system right now?

[crazyh]

No . . . I'm not using that system now . . . just checked in on my computer on the job.

I will post to the malware forum in the next day or two.

Thanks
