Help
Hello, I think that my computer has picked up a virus. My computer is an HP laptop with windows vista OS. I'll run Malwarebytes or Spybot Search and Destroy, they'll find bad programs to remove but they just come back. I have the same problem when I run Hijackthis and remove the programs. Also my computer runs slow and sluggish, and I even get a blue screen that says something about a memory dump (hopefully its not the blue screen of death).
I'm gonna run Malwarebytes and then I'll post the latest log that I get

Hello yes post that log thanks.
The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

We need to disable Spybot S&D's "TeaTimer" if running.
TeaTimer works by preventing ANY changes to the system. It will attempt to undo any fixes we run, because it blocks these fixes from running.
In order to safeguard your system from problems that can be brought on by a half finished fix, we need to disable TeaTimer. We can reenable it when we're done if you like.
Next run ATF and SAS: If you cannot access Safe Mode,run in normal ,but let me know.
Note: On Vista, "Windows Temp" is disabled. To empty "Windows Temp" ATF-Cleaner must be "Run as an Administrator".
