init rootkit infection? (Unsure) I need your help ~

Dear helpers,

My internet browsers are really lagging in the first 5 minutes. I tried Chrome, Mozilla, and IE 8! Same.
I also tried a lot to fix it, starting with CCleaner (cleaned everything including fixing all registries) , Microsoft Security Essentials full scans, AVG Free Full safe mode full scan, spybot, removed unnecessary files, deleted ALG files from registry to see if it helped, and modified services.exe and startup programs to run more efficiently.

Do you need to see my HJT file?

It's really weird. Hopefully, it's not a rootkit or backdoor.
At first, I thought it was due to the Mozilla java plug-in crashes, but it affected other browsers.
To top it off, I went to 2wire.com to check its speed meter and it was above 2 mbps.

I followed the preparation guide to its full extent.

Here is my DDS.TXT file::

Hello

I Would like you to do the following.

Please print out or make a copy in notpad of any instructions given, as sometimes it is necessary to go offline and you will lose access to them.

Run Combofix:

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode.
This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.
Please continue as follows:

• Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
• Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the report in your next post:

C:\ComboFix.txt

"information and logs"

In your next post I need the following

1. Log from Combofix
2. let me know of any problems you may have had
3. How is the computer doing now?

- My internet is slow again after about 10 minutes.
I think it has to do with facebook or its apps.
Should I format my computer instead?

That's the end of it.

My internet browser is still slow, but I think it's linked to facebook and maybe even one if its apps.
After I log on facebook and used that app, it starts to run really slow after about 5 minutes as if it's downloading something. It's really weird. For the time being, I will stop uising that app.

In the meantime, please let me know what else I can do.

Thanks.

Best,

- Furace

The logs are looking good

HEre is the log for that:

My computer is still the same. It didn't fix anything because the scan found zero infections - thus a clean log.
So what should I do now?
Should I format my computer with Windows CD?

Hello

well there is not much else I can do as you can see the logs have come back clean you may want to check out the windows forum to see if they can come up with something

The following procedure will implement some cleanup procedures. It will also reset your System Restore by flushing out previous restore points and create a new restore point. It will also remove all the backups our tools may have made.

Any programs and logs that are left over you can just be deleted from the desktop. TFC is a free temp file cleaner that is very easy to use, I would keep this and use before you do any scans or when you want to free up some space.

:Turn On Automatic Updates:

Turn On Automatic Updates
1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then press ENTER.
2. Click the Automatic Updates tab, and then click to select one of the following options. We recommend that you select the Automatic (recommended) Automatically download recommended updates for my computer and install them

If you click this setting, click to select the day and time for scheduled updates to occur. You can schedule Automatic Updates for any time of day. Remember, your computer must be on at the scheduled time for updates to be installed. After you set this option, Windows recognizes when you are online and uses your Internet connection to find updates on the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site that apply to your computer. Updates are downloaded automatically in the background, and you are not notified or interrupted during this process. An icon appears in the notification area of your taskbar when the updates are being downloaded. You can point to the icon to view the download status. To pause or to resume the download, right-click the icon, and then click Pause or Resume. When the download is completed, another message appears in the notification area so that you can review the updates that are scheduled for installation. If you choose not to install at that time, Windows starts the installation on your set schedule.

or visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

:antispyware programs:

I would reccomend the download and installation of some or all of the following programs (all free), and the updating of them regularly:

• WinPatrol As a robust security monitor, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge.
  
• Spyware Blaster - By altering your registry, this program stops harmful sites from installing things like ActiveX Controls on your machines.
  
• Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is a new and powerful anti-malware tool. It is
  totally free but for real-time protection you will have to pay a small one-time fee. We used this to help clean your computer and recomend keeping it and using often.
