Spyware slowing computer down?
Hi, i have a problem of my computer slowing down.
Typically, i would use windows task to see what's up with my computer, and today, i found out it always stays above 50% on CPU usage.
My brother told be to use bitdefender and it gave a report with 6 viruses that was in my computer. Sadly, even when the viruses were deleted, the Usage stayed the same. When i disconnect from the network though, the usage lowers to 0%.....
I find it weird so i ask for help about it.
here's what i have about it :

My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.
Please observe these rules while we work:
1. If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
2. Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
3. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
(Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)
If you can do those three things, everything should go smoothly
Please Note, your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use.
Be assured, any links I give are safe
No Antivirus
I can see no indication of any Antivirus software.
Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that you have anti-virus software running on your machine.
This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.
Free AV list ( Home users only)
Avira AntiVir
Avast
Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week.
If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.
Antivirus is a MUST
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.
Old version of HJT
You are running an older version of Hijack This.
Download HJTinstall.exe to your desktop
It is important that you uninstall any previous versions by using Add/Remove programs in your control panel
before installing a newer version.
Installed Programs
Please could you give me a list of the programs that are installed.
You will see a list with the programs installed in your computer.
Click on save list button and specify where you would like to save this file.
When you press Save button a notepad will open with the contents of that file.
Simply copy and paste the contents of that notepad into your next post.

Deckard's System Scanner (DSS)

The slowdown has bugged me for a while now, ...like a couple weeks.
Will it have anything to do with low free space in my drives?
and then more info,
I had stated that the usage lowers when i disconnected from the internet,
but when i reconnect, it(the cpu usage) stayed low, and
restarting kept it high, (when connected); I never tried an unconnected restart yet
right before i came to ask for help here, the computer did change all the
icons with random ones by itself when I did something that I believe 'stresses' the computer. Such as play a computer game, and hitting the windows button to bring myself to desktop, though it doesn't anymore, can't say it'l be any help, but i felt the need to bring it up.
uhh, anyways... the info you requested

This could be related to Azureus, Veoh or one of the many games you have installed.
I suggest you seek help on one of the Software boards, as this is not a malware problem and as such is outside my area of knowledge.
I took some of my old games out
(BF2, Tropico, Veoh, etc)
and now its working fine again (weird....)
Thanks for your help (I must've been being paranoic, lol)
You were not being paranoid at all, one of the programs that you have removed was trying to connect through the internet all the time
that is why this showed in your log TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts.
Congratulations your logs look clean
Let's see if I can help you keep it that way
The following is some info to help you stay safe and clean.
( Vista users must ensure that any programs are Vista compatible BEFORE installing )
You may already have some of the following programs, but I include the full list for the benefit of all the other people who will be reading this thread in the future.
Online Scanners
I would recommend a scan at one or more of the following sites at least once a month.
http://www.pandasecurity.com/activescan
http://www.kaspersky.com/kos/eng/partner/71706/kavwebscan.html
!!! Make sure that all your programs are updated !!!
Secunia Software Inspector does all the work for you, .... see HERE for details
AntiSpyware
AntiSpyware is
not the same thing as Antivirus.Different AntiSpyware programs detect different things, so in this case it is recommended that you have more than one.
You should only have one running all the time, the other/s should be used "on demand" on a regular basis.
Most of the programs in this list have a free (for Home Users ) and paid versions,
it is worth paying for one and having "realtime" protection, unless you intend to do a manual scan often.
[*]Spybot - Search & Destroy <<< A must have program
[*] MalwareBytes Anti-malware <<< A New and effective program
[*]a-squared Free <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner
[*]superantispyware <<< A good "realtime" or "on demand" scanner
Prevention
These programs don't detect malware, they help stop it getting on your machine in the first place. Each does a different job, so you can have more than one- Winpatrol
- An excellent startup manager and then some !!
- Notifies you if programs are added to startup
- Allows delayed startup
- A must have addition
- SpywareBlaster 4.0
- SpywareBlaster sets killbits in the registry to prevent known malicious activex controls from installing themselves on your computer.
- SpywareGuard 2.2
- SpywareGuard provides real-time protection against spyware.
- Not required if you have other "realtime" antispyware or Winpatrol
- ZonedOut
- Formerly known as IE-SPYAD, adds a long list of sites and domains associated with known advertisers and marketers to the Restricted sites zone of Internet Explorer.
- MVPS HOSTS
- This little program packs a powerful punch as it blocks ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and many hijackers.
- For information on how to download and install, please read this tutorial by WinHelp2002.
- Not required if you are using other host file protections
Internet Browsers
Microsoft has worked hard to make IE.7 a more secure browser, unfortunately whilst it is still the leading browser of choice it will always be under attack from the bad guys. Using a different web browser can help stop malware getting on your machine.
If you are still using IE6 then either update, or get one of the following.
Cleaning Temporary Internet Files and Tracking Cookies
Temporary Internet Files are mainly the files that are downloaded when you open a web page. Unfortunately, if the site you visit is of a dubious nature or has been hacked, they can also be an entry point for malware. It is a good idea to empty the Temporary Internet Files folder on a regular basis. Tracking Cookies are files that websites use to monitor which sites you visit and how often. A lot of Antispyware scanners pick up these tracking cookies and flag them as unwanted. CAUTION :- If you delete all your cookies you will lose any autologin information for sites that you visit, and will need your passwords Both of these can be cleaned manually, but a quicker option is to use a program- ATF Cleaner
- Free and very simple to use
- CCleaner
- Free and very flexible, you can chose which cookies to keep
Also PLEASE read this article.....So How Did I Get Infected In The First Place
The last and most important thing I can tell you is UPDATE.
If you don't update your security programs (Antivirus, Antispyware even Windows) then you are at risk.
Malware changes on a day to day basis. You should update every week at the very least.
