Question Solved: What is wrong with my computer? Please Help
I am having a problem with my pc running very, very slow. I did a scan with avast and found 13 trojans, 3 malware, 1 worm, and 1 rootkit. Then when the computer booted up avast found 3 more trojans and a virus all of these have been removed. I then ran a malwarebytes scan and found 6 more trojans again all were removed, now the problem I am having is the slowness it takes forever to start up and to load a web page also the internet explorer will not load or it shuts down so I am using firefox or safari. Can any one give me some help please.

The General Security forum is only for general questions regarding security software and things of that nature but not for actually removing malware as we have qualified helpers who are the only members who are authorized to assist with those matters. You can easily identify them as they have either a gold or blue shield beside their usernames. Please refer to this excerpt from the rules:

Quote:
Log Analysis/Malware Removal - In order to ensure that advice given to users is consistent and of the highest quality, those who wish to assist with security related matters must first graduate from one of the malware boot camp training universities or be approved by the administration as already being qualified. Those authorized to help with malware issues have a gold shield next to their name and authorized malware removal trainees have a blue shield next to their names. Anyone wishing to participate in a training program should contact a Moderator for more information.
I'm going to close this thread and ask you to repost in the Malware Removal & HijackThis Logs forum for the proper assistance.
