I have an amazing computer with CoD4 installed on it which i play alot. I have a 3.0 ghz dual core przr, 2 gigs RAM, 8800 GTS GPU, and an nforce 680I LT mobo. Ive always had high frames in this game(125-200) untill just recently. Ill be playin and then the games FPS drops to the low 30's - 40's. I do not understand why this is happening. The only other time I ever had this kind of issue is when i was infected with ProRat awhile back. This is a fresh system that was reformatted and was runnin strong. Just latly its been laggin and dropping FPS. Any help is much appreciated. Heres my HJT log:

Hi there sorry for the delay.

Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) and save it to your Desktop.

Close all other windows before proceeding.
Double-click on dss.exe and follow the prompts.
When it has finished, dss will open two Notepads main.txt and extra.txt -- please copy (CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your next reply.

Note:These logs may be too large to post in one reply, if so, please post extra.txt in a seperate reply.

Then,

Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 6.
Scroll down to where it says "The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE) allows end-users to run Java applications".
Click the "Download" button to the right.
Select your Platform and check the box that says: "I agree to the Java SE Runtime Environment 6 License Agreement.".
Click on Continue.
Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation (jre-6u6-windows-i586-p.exe) and save it to your desktop. Do NOT use the Sun Download Manager..
Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
Go to Start > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove programs and remove all older versions of Java.
Check any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java version.
Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
Then from your desktop double-click on the download to install the newest version.

Go to Kaspersky website and perform an online antivirus scan.

Read through the requirements and privacy statement and click on Accept button.
It will start downloading and installing the scanner and virus definitions. You will be prompted to install an application from Kaspersky. Click Run.
When the downloads have finished, click on Settings.
Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
- Spyware, Adware, Dialers, and other potentially dangerous programs
  Archives
  Mail databases
Click on My Computer under Scan.
Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
You will see a list of infected items there. Click on Save Report As....
Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.

Hi,

Let's use a different program.

Is the only problem the FPS drops? that could be caused by overheating and other things as well...

Before running a new scan let's clean out the temporary folders.

Download ATF Cleaner to your Desktop.

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox browser, do this also:

Click Firefox at the top and choose Select All from the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE : If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser, do this also:

Click Opera at the top and choose Select All from the list.
Close ALL Internet browsers (very important).
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE : If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Now download OTScanIt.exe to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named OTScanIt on your desktop.

Note: You must be logged on to the system with an account that has Administrator privileges to run this program.

Close ALL OTHER PROGRAMS.
Open the OTScanIt folder and double-click on OTScanIt.exe to start the program (if you are running on Vista then right-click the program and choose Run as Administrator).
In the Drivers section click on Non-Microsoft.
Under Additional Scans click the checkboxes in front of the following items to select them:
- Reg - BotCheck
  File - Additional Folder Scans
Do not change any other settings.
Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
Let it run unhindered until it finishes.
When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.

Use the Add Reply button and attach the file in your next post (do not try to copy/paste it into the post).

FPS isnt the only sympton. I also get very bad lag spikes in game. MY ping will jump to about 800-999 for a couple secs randomly as well as the FPS dropping. Also im pretty sure its not overheating cause all my temps seem to be in the safe range.
Temps: CPU: 42'C System: 34'C GPU: 52'C

Let's rephrase - are you only experiencing issues in your game?

Attach the OTScanIt log when ready

No, sometimes the computer will lock up and slow down. It had never happened before. I only built this computer about 1-2 months ago. Its a fresh system. Ive never had these kinda probs before. It was running perfectly strong before, and just recently these things started to occur.

Go ahead and delete that folder then,

Other than that your logs are clean. I suggest you head over to the tech forums and see if they can help.

To remove the tools we used simply open OTScanIt and click on the CleanUp! Button.

Right-click on "My Computer." The "System Properties" dialogue box will appear, showing a number of tabs. From here you can reset System Restore and configure Automatic Updates.

First, click the System Restore tab.

Check the box beside "Turn off System Restore"
Click "Apply"
At the prompt, click "Yes"

Wait while your system deletes existing Restore Points, this may take a few moments.

Uncheck the box beside "Turn off System Restore"
Click "Apply"
At the prompt, click "Yes"

Your system will now create a new Restore Point.

Now that your are clean, you'll want to stay that way.

Some important things that you should keep in mind in order to protect yourself:

Use common sense. This is the big one! Don't download programs from suspicious sites and be careful where you browse.
Things you can do to avoid downloading bad programs:
- Google the program. Read reviews and opinions from other people on the internet, if you dont see any reports of foul play - then there more than likely is none.
- Stay away from Cracks! However luring the thought of free software can be it's not worth the hassle and potential danger of getting infected.
- Download the program directly from the website of the developer - then you can be certain you haven't downloaded a bogus copy.
- Read the EULA (End User License Agreement) - Find out exactly what you are downloading. A good tool to aid you in this would be EULAyzer.
Keep your programs updated! Software developers update their programs to patch possible security risks. Do a scan once in a while for outdated programs using Secunia's Software Inspector
Keep your protection programs up to date! No matter how good your Antivirus or Antispyware program is, without an updated set of definitions it will do you no good against the new infections. If you run a free program make sure to update them at least once a week.
Make sure that windows updates is enabled. Keeping your system up to date is a must - to turn on automatic updates take a look at this article by Microsoft.

I have listed two programs to boost your security while using no resources.

SpywareBlaster Take a look at the tutorial here.
ZonedOut Adds thousands of websites to your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.

Also consider using an alternative web browser. Two big named ones, both far superior to Internet Explorer in terms of security and performance, would be Firefox and Opera.

Make a habit of scanning your computer for viruses every week or so and backing up important files regularly.

Please also read Expert Tony Klein's excellent article: How I got Infected in the First Place

Please post back and tell me if everything is OK, so that I may mark this thread as Resolved.
