It is running much better! I can now navigate around the desktop and the Internet without getting frustrated with it. I think it still is slower then I would like it to be but, I think I'm being spoiled on that. The cpu is now running as it should be. I'll do the Step #7 Scan with Malwarebytes and report back.

[Valinorum]

I await the logs.

[ThetechmanDan]

I may need anextra day. I am going to try to do it tonight but I don't know if I can.

[Valinorum]

Acknowledged. Thank you for keeping me informed.

[ThetechmanDan]

... i goofed. Threats were found but I didnt save the text file. I thought it was going to give me that option again after the restart but it didnt. 6 threats were found and they are all in quarantine.

 

I have not uninstalled malwarebytes yet.

[Valinorum]

Perform the Malwarebytes' step again and post the log. ESET log is located in "C:\Program Files\ESET\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt" (on 64-bit systems this directory will be "C:\Program Files (x86)\ESET\Esetonlinescanner\log.txt").

[ThetechmanDan]

ok! here it is

Why did you post my fix?    I implored you to post the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware log and ESET scan report from my post here. If you have done the ESET scan, the log file is located in "C:\Program Files\ESET\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt" (on 64-bit systems this directory will be "C:\Program Files (x86)\ESET\Esetonlinescanner\log.txt").

[ThetechmanDan]

Did you find the ESET log? How is your system running?

[ThetechmanDan]

The directory u supply is not what shows up in my files. There is nothing In the whole computer titled "ESET" (that I can find).

And, the computer is running OK as far as I can tell.

[Valinorum]

Redo Step #8.

[ThetechmanDan]

Yeah, I skipped step 8... I just started the scan. I should have it posted by late tomorrow.
