    Hello,

    I'll try to make this short and sweet without leaving out details.  Basically, a few days ago, I would turn my computer on... a laptop running vista, and it would start to become very sluggish.  After using the laptop for a while, it would completely freeze up, mouse wouldnt move, nothing.  After I give it about a minute of being froze, it will all of the sudden come to... but when it does, my anti-virus software automatically disables itself, the notification pops up stating that I dont have any anti-virus software  running, and then mcAfee restarts itself and the message goes away, and everything goes back to normal.  Soon after everything is up and running again, superfetch crashes, and my whole computer slows down completely.. and then we start the cycle all over again.  If I open any program on my computer, even pictures, music, etc... the computer freezes, anti-virus disables, then enables, and superfetch crashes.

    I'm not sure if this is a virus? possibly a problem with McAfee, or something completely different which lead me to post this topic =)

    Thanks!

      You have Viewpoint installed.

      Viewpoint Media Player/Manager/Toolbar is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". See Viewpoint to Plunge Into Adware

      It is suggested to remove the program now.
      Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.
      • Viewpoint
      • Viewpoint Manager
      • Viewpoint Media Player
      • Viewpoint Toolbar
      • Viewpoint Experience Technology
      If you have trouble removing Viewpoint, I suggest that you use ViewpointKiller

      Once you have downloaded ViewpointKiller, unzip it to a convenient location such as your desktop.
      Run ViewpointKiller, and select File > Do All Killings
      Follow the prompts, selecting Yes or No, depending on which selection you are most comfortable with.
      A logfile will be created in the folder you unzipped ViewpointKiller to, please paste the contents here.

      ----------

      Next you need to go back to the thread with the removal instructions and run the other scans.

      Next post please add
      Superantispyware log
      MBAM log
      Also a NEW Hijackthis log

        Sorry, need to remember which forum I am posting in.

        Not an MBAM log but a Dr. Web CureIt log.

          It can take some time, if it is stuck on a file then you will need to stop it and go on to the next step. See if it created a log and post it if so.
