[QUOTE="AlmostBlink, post: 174378, member: 19970"] Hello, I recently noticed that my computer is slowing and crashing a lot more. I also noticed a strange appearance of computers on my network. I live in a student apartment complex and the internet has never felt too secure or of a high performance. However, I'm pretty certain my networks never used to show all of these: [IMG]http://i.stack.imgur.com/zjSBV.jpg[/IMG] I run a Connectify Hotspot from my computer if that helps, however, it's not an open connection. Today I decided that my computer was getting a little too slow and the network visibility was making me a little uncomfortable, so I ditched AVG and downloaded Avast free anti-virus and COMODO firewall. I noticed that there were a TON of svchost.exe connections that pointed to various other local IP addresses in this building (I assume) which kinda freaked me out, but I understand they may not all be harmful. I then contacted a technician at GeekBuddy and although I don't have a subscription with them, he took a remote-admin look at my system and said I have a "severe virus infection" that Avast wouldn't be able to remove. I'm a poor student and can't afford the GeekBuddy subscription, but if that wasn't a marketing ploy, it sounds pretty serious. Below I've linked adwCleaner, aswMBR and FRST log files. I would really appreciate some direction. adwCleaner log: [url]http://pastebin.com/WaBBgyNy[/url] aswMBR log: [url]http://pastebin.com/udv8J4XT[/url] FRST log: [url]http://pastebin.com/aeDXL8en[/url] FRST Addition log: [url]http://pastebin.com/b2CH2pZz[/url] [/QUOTE]
