    Hi Guys,

    My computer has been running really slow and grinding away.
    I defragged the HD.
    I have not been able to bring anything up under "My Computer" It wont respond.
    But, I have been able to access "explorer.exe" from the Run menu.

    Here  are my logs:

    Do you have a backup? Microsoft recommends having a backup before making any major changes to your computer. The system restore is not the same as a backup.

      Can you boot in safe mode? Safe mode with networking?
      If you have a virus, malwarebytes just might find it in safe mode.

      http://www.malwarebytes.org/

      That is a not for progit web site and the do the best job I know of.
      The program is free and they do not try to get you to buy
      something you don't need.

      If you have a USB stick, try and save your important work. Like Photos, musid or projects. You may have to do a re-install even after using malwarebytes program.
