hello, my computer has been running really slowly lately and when i tried to use paint the mouse did funny things (it just randomly cut my picture and stuff), also, a little black window with white code in it pops up from time to time but it opens and closes to fast for me to knwo what it is, i'm really worried. Any help would be much appreciated.

hi,

Nothing seems to be that much out of the ordinary in your Hijack This log file. Did you try a full system scan on AVG?

[jholland1964]

I agree with amrith92. But you are running an extraordinary number of programs at start up and therefore in the background all the time and many of these could be run manually when needed. This could certainly slow the computer.
Have you done a basic clean up...temp files, defrag, etc.?
I also see you are running AVG8, many folks, myself included, found this slowed the computer considerably. Did the slowness begin with the update to AVG8?

[crunchie]

I agree that there are no suspicious entries in your log, but it will not hurt to do the following;

===============

Can you disable Windows Defender as it may interfere with the removal process. Please leave it disabled until your PC has been given the all clear.

• Open Windows Defender
• Click Tools
• Click General Settings
• Scroll down to Real Time Protection Options
• Uncheck Turn on Real Time Protection (recommended)
• After you uncheck this, click on the Save button
• Close Windows Defender

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".
