Without further tests on individual components any suggestions would be speculative which is not the correct way to do things but keep a check on the battery status and unusual noises or behavior from the HDD.
Re possible malware, if you have any cause to suspect this you may need the assistance of the experts over at the malware forum however before you post there please read the
'Start Here' topic found
here. With these self-help tools you have a high chance of fixing the problems on your own. If you are still having problems after following Step 3 of the guide, continue with Step 4 and 5 and post in the
Malware Forum. If you are unable to run any programs, Please create a topic stating what you have tried so far and that you are unable to run any programs. Also, Please do
NOT post the logs in this thread.
If you are still having issues after the malware expert gives you a clean bill of health, Please return to
THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve your current problem(s).
Additional guidance;
1: Do not create a topic on the malware forum unless you have a malware issue that you cannot resolve yourself.
2: If you do need to start a topic there provide a link to this thread so that steps that have already been taken can be checked.
3: As the Malware Techs are extremely busy you may not receive an instant reply, if you have waited for three days then post in the Waiting Room
http://www.geekstogo...e-waiting-room/ be sure to identify the issue as malware related and provide a link to your malware topic.
Good luck.
