      I recommend you uninstall these programs:

      Perfect Optimizer
      XoftSpySE


      ----------

      Delete these files/folders, as follows:

      1. Go to Start > Run > type Notepad.exe and click OK to open Notepad.
      It must be Notepad, not Wordpad.
      2. Copy the text in the below code box by highlighting all the text and pressing Ctrl+C

      Code: [Select]
      KillAll::

      DDS::
      TB: {4E7BD74F-2B8D-469E-84BA-B830E8D4E122} - No File
      AppInit_DLLs: interceptor.dll  ,

      File::
      c:\windows\Tasks\At1.job
      c:\progra~1\PERFEC~1\PerfectOptimizer.exe
      c:\windows\Tasks\XoftSpySE 2.job
      c:\program files\XoftSpySE\XoftSpy.exe

      Folder::
      c:\program files\XoftSpySE

      Registry::
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\windows]
      "AppInit_DLLs"=""

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager]
      "BootExecute"=hex(7):61,75,74,6f,63,68,65,63,6b,20,61,75,74,6f,63,68,6b,20,2a,00,00

      [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\security center\Monitoring\SymantecAntiVirus]

      [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\security center\Monitoring\SymantecFirewall]

      [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\mountpoints2\{58155ecc-f704-11dd-a1a9-806e6f6e6963}]

      3. Go to the Notepad window and click Edit > Paste
      4. Then click File > Save
      5. Name the file CFScript.txt - Save the file to your Desktop
      6. Then drag the CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below. Important: Perform this instruction carefully!



      ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts.
      After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it will produce a log for you.
      Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.

      Note: Do not mouseclick ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause your system to freeze

      Also let me know how the computer is running now?

        • Click START then RUN
        • Now type Combofix /u in the runbox
        • Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /u
        • Then hit Enter.
        .
        .
        The above procedure will:
        • Delete:
          • ComboFix and its associated files and folders.
          • VundoFix backups, if present
          • The C:\Deckard folder, if present
          • The C:_OtMoveIt folder, if present
          • Reset the clock settings.
          • Hide file extensions, if required.
          • Hide System/Hidden files, if required.
          • Set a new, clean Restore Point.
          .
          ----------

          Use the Secunia Software Inspector to check for out of date software.
          • Click Start Now
          • Check the box next to Enable thorough system inspection.
          • Click Start
          • Allow the scan to finish and scroll down to see if any updates are needed.
          • Update anything listed.
          .
          ----------

          Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

          ----------

          I suggest using WOT - Web of Trust. WOT is a free Internet security addon for your browser. It will keep you safe from online scams, identity theft, spyware, spam, viruses and unreliable shopping sites. WOT warns you before you interact with a risky website. It's easy and it's free.

          SpywareBlaster - Secure your Internet Explorer to make it harder for ActiveX programs to run on your computer. Also stop certain cookies from being added to your computer when running Mozilla based browsers like Firefox.
          * Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware
          * If you don't know what ActiveX controls are, see here
