Re: computer lagging badly

Welcome to DAL,


Go into add/remove program and remove if present: mywebsearch

This line below:

Have you turned off any malware related items if so we need to see those items

Download Clean.bat to your desktop(Save page as or Save as): for later use to clean out your TEMPORARY and PREFETCH files.

Download CCleaner from here:

don't run the tool just yet please.
Install it. The windows tab should be opened in the upper left of the program. Click analyze and then click run cleaner. Just use the windows tab that is up front by default.

1.Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".

2.If you are running Firefox: ,then click on the "Applications" tab and uncheck "Cookies" under "Firefox".


Run hijackthis and click on scan button and put a check next to this:

Nothing open but hijackthis and click on fix checked.


Now reboot into safe mode by tapping your F8 key upon restart and safe mode screen appears, select safe mode and press enter.


Hunt for and delete if present:
