Re: Computer running very slow, Probably Malware?
Hmmm, yeah I tried the GMER as well, but it came up with nothing. Still lagging pretty bad though...

GMER came up with nothing. However, it will only allow me to scan Services, Registry and Files, nothing near the top of the list like Systems or Devices. Not sure if that's normal or what though.

It is better than what we have right now.  If we can't see it, we can't move on to something else.  It's your call.  Certain things we need to see in order to be of assistance.  Usually the top part of GMER runs and not the bottom.  Quite unusual.

Re: Computer running very slow, Probably Malware?
Well, I'm not sure what's going on, maybe it has something to do with GMER only being able to scan those bottom three criteria but there's no log that appears at the end of the scan.  I would gladly post it, because I've seen examples of the logs that are created at the end of the scan but I don't have a thing. Ideas?

Can you boot into Safe Mode and run GMER?


Boot into Safe Mode:
Start your system and tap the F8 key until the Advanced Options Menu appears. Using the arrow keys, select Safe Mode (no networking or command prompt) and press ENTER.

Alright I tried that and the scan does pretty much the same thing. It also says it didn't find any problems.

Could you try to download Malwarebytes.  When the download package comes up, save it as tornado.  Once it is installed, go into the program and change the .exe file to the same name.  See if you can get that to run.
