Hi, Any help really appreciated.
My PC speed, and internet connection in particular, have dramatically slowed a couple of days ago, to the extent that the browser (IE7 or Firefox) freezes.
I run Avast Home edition, and following a download and subsequent installation, it reported and barred various unwanted internet connections being made - I uninstalled and deleted the downloaded software. However, Windows defender has repeatedly alerted me to a Trojan (Remos.dz, I believe) on which I have repair on each occasion. I have also run Malwarebyte's software, and it has removed various threats.
It's still very slow, however. I'm running a boot-up full virus scan at the moment to see if it uncovers anything. I include below the HijackThis report - I'd be grateful for any advice.
Thanks!!
