My computer is running absolutely everything at very sluggish speeds, and I don't understand why. Even my internet connection is slower than it usually is. I don't see anything wrong with this log, so I've decided to see if you guys can perhaps help me. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Interesting. Although you do not have all the usual signs of it, you do have what appears to be a vundo infection... so just in case something else is hidden would you rename hijackthis.exe to.. umm... imabunny.exe for the next scan, please?

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop from http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=4
Double-click VundoFix.exe to start it, click the Scan for Vundo button.
When the scan completes click the Remove Vundo button.
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files - click YES
Your desktop will then go blank as the process of removing Vundo starts.
When completed it will prompt that it will restart your computer - click OK.
Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the
Scan for Vundo button." when VundoFix appears at reboot.
Post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt plus a new HijackThis log.

Hmmm... I've already had a vundo infection and removed it using the same application (...I think), but for some reason it only seems to be slow under two conditions:

1. when I'm running utorrent
2. massive amounts of firefox windows & tabs.

I have to finish up some work first, so I'll post it when I get home...

Here's the HJT log, sorry... I kinda forgot about this for a while. Family problems, you see.

As for the vundofix log... I've used an older version of vundofix, but for some reason, as you can see... IT CAME BACK!

Have a log. =)

And there you have it.

</walloftext>

Well I have Utorrent and Firefox, and it is completely normal for Utorrent and massive amounts of FF tabs to make your computer run slower. There is actually a setting in FF that you can enable so it will tell you when your speed will be affected if you open more tabs.

Hi, kerplosion... you are not the only one who takes a break... and yep, you're still infected according to that last HJT log. Time to get serious.
I need a Combofix log...
===Download this file: http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
...or from here: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe
-- to run it dclick combofix.exe and follow the prompts to start it. When finished, it will produce a log - post that log in your next reply.
A word of caution - do not touch your mouse/keyboard until the scan has completed. The scan will temporarily disable your desktop, and if interrupted may leave your desktop disabled. If this occurs, please reboot to restore the desktop.
And a fresh HJT log too please.
