Computer boots up but slows down once it gets into any program. Control Panel takes so long to load that I usually close it. However, when I attempt to close it the computer freezes and I have to hold down the power button to shut the machine down. I am not receiving any error messages. I ran malwarebytes but it found no malware and AVG which found no infected files. Attached is the OTL.txt for my machine. Thank you!

If you have any files which you absolutely must not lose - you should back them up right away. There is a strong possibility that your hard drive is dying based on the presence of these entries in your log:

[2013/06/27 06:08:45 | 000,000,000 | -HSD | C] -- C:\found.009
[2013/06/26 22:12:45 | 000,000,000 | -HSD | C] -- C:\found.008
[2013/06/21 20:40:03 | 000,000,000 | -HSD | C] -- C:\found.007
[2013/06/19 20:56:39 | 000,000,000 | -HSD | C] -- C:\found.006

The "found.00x" folders contain recovered files found during a disk check. That fact that the disk check ran 4 times in 8 days and found files to recover tells me that it is getting sick. Another possibility is bad RAM so you should run you built-in Memory test and see if it finds anything. http://www.howtogeek...iagnostic-tool/

Now back to slowness:


First: uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials. You already have Avast and two anti-viruses will fight each other and slow you down.

Second: Download the adwCleaner

  • Run the Tool
    Windows Vista and Windows 7 users:
    Right click in the adwCleaner.exe and select the option
    Posted Image
  • Select the Delete button.
  • When the scan completes, it will open a notepad windows.
  • Please, copy the content of this file in your next reply.

This will remove a lot of the adware that you have had foisted on you.

Third: Get Process Explorer

http://live.sysinter...com/procexp.exe
Save it to your desktop then run it (Vista or Win7 - right click and Run As Administrator).

View, Select Column, check Verified Signer, OK
Options, Verify Image Signatures


Click twice on the CPU column header to sort things by CPU usage with the big hitters at the top.

Wait a minute then:

File, Save As, Save. Open the file Procexp.txt on your desktop and copy and paste the text to a reply.

This lets me see if some process is hogging the CPU.

Fourth:
Right click on (My) Computer and select Manage (Continue) Then click on the arrow in front of Event Viewer. Next Click on the arrow in front of Windows Logs Right click on System and Clear Log, Clear. Repeat for Application.

Reboot.

Start, All Programs, Accessories then right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator. Then type (with an Enter after each line).
sfc  /scannow

(This will check your critical system files. Does this finish without complaint? IF it says it couldn't fix everything then:

Copy the next two lines:

findstr /c:"[SR]" \windows\logs\cbs\cbs.log > \windows\logs\cbs\junk.txt
notepad \windows\logs\cbs\junk.txt

Start, All Programs, Accessories, right click on Command Prompt and Run as Administrator, Continue. Right click and Paste or Edit then Paste and the copied line should appear.
Hit Enter. Copy and paste the text from notepad or if it is too big, just attach the file.)


1. Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso
http://images.malwar...om/vino/VEW.exe
and save it to your Desktop:
2. Right-click VEW.exe and Run AS Administrator
3. Under 'Select log to query', select:

* System
4. Under 'Select type to list', select:
* Error
* Warning


Then use the 'Number of events' as follows:


1. Click the radio button for 'Number of events'
Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box
Then click the Run button.
Notepad will open with the output log.


Please post the Output log in your next reply then repeat but select Application.

This checks and tries to repair your critical system files and also shows me if there are any errors which may be slowing you down.

Fifth: Get the free version of Speccy:

http://www.filehippo...download_speccy (Look in the upper right for the Download
Latest Version button) Download, Save and Install it. Run Speccy by right clicking and Run As Admin. When it finishes (the little icon in the bottom left will stop moving), File, Save as Text File, (to your desktop) note the name it gives. OK. Open the file in notepad and delete the line that gives the serial number of your Operating System. (It will be near the top about 10 lines down.) Close and Save the file then Attach the file to your next post. Uninstall Speccy.

This allows me to see the temperatures on your PC as well as the condition of your hard drive and a lot of other stuff. A hot PC is a slow PC since the CPU will run slower to protect itself. A sick drive can also slow you down if the CPU has to ask twice or more for the data it wants.

Thank you very much. I was afraid the hard drive was failing. I couldn't get into the control panel to remove windows security essentials then couldn't get out to the internet to download the software to run the other programs. I will back up what I need before the machine fails to start up at all and call it a day. I really appreciate your assistance!
