Computer Laggy Every 29 Min And I Am Sure Its Some Virus!

Options

Ok first of all, i have these two desktop shortcuts saying windows update and system help. And when i click those, it takes me to some site that tells me to download something called system protector. Also i get error messages every 20 minutes that there is a problem with my computer and i have to click ok to correct it. When i click ok, it tells me to download system protector. Also i get these internet popups all the time. Also when i start my computer, it takes a long time. Before the error message comes, my computer lags and hangs for some time. I used vundofix for the first time and it worked but after a week, it stopped working and the virus came back. I do not know how to fix this and i am not that good with computer. There are also millions of posxxx.tmp files in my documents and c drive and ican't delete them. there is a big red X on my c drive as well. PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM! thank you.

  • This can be a rogue product.There are trojans that trics into bying rogue products.Run full sysytem scan to protect your system.If BD doesn't help try with kaspersky.Uninstall everything you have installed the same day when you saw that icons.


    Best regards.

    sportstime23,


    You have a few suspicous entires in your HJT log.


    Run HijackThis and do a System Scan Only. Place a check beside each of the following, and fix:

    F3 - REG:win.ini: load=C:\WINDOWS\system32\mlljk.exe


    Send this file in a zip folder with the password "infected" to the BitDefender labs:


    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ddlgwelr.dll

    Dear sportstime23,


    I suggest that you download rogueremover which you can download here.Click on download now install it. Start the program click on check for updates,check for updates. If there is a new update you will get informed press on ok and after that press on download. When finished press on close. Now reboot your pc into safe mode by pressing several times on the F8 button before the windows loading screen select safe mode now log in with your account. Start rogueremover and press on scan let it remove everything. Afterwards make a new Hijack This log. Send also this executable : mlljk.exe


    Best regards


    Niels
