Hello,
Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.
Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.
Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:
Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!
Please attach it to your reply.
Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

- Right-click on
icon and select
Run as Administrator to start the tool.
(XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). - Press the Fix button just once and wait.
- If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
- When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
Please attach it to your reply.
I ran FRST and followed the instruction given. But in my Task Manager I still see lot of iexplore*32.exe and many other programs. Below I attach my Fixlog.txt. Is there anything else I have to do or did I do something not correct?

My computer is still getting slower the more it on. And this .exe*32 still persist in the processes running. Below I attach a screenshot of my Task Manager after 2 hours of runtime. FRST latest scan result the FRST.txt and Addition.txt are attached in my previous reply. Haven't done anything since then.

When I let my computer runs for almost 4 hours, the memory is fully loaded until I got a message telling me that the memory is full and I need to close some programs.
I don't know how to remove this worm from my computer, but I definitely know that this is a malware. Below I attach my Task Manager Processes when I just start my computer and after 2 hours runtime. Please help me fix this.

Here's the result from latest fix. Do I have to reboot the PC or I just let it be for a while to check if it's normal again?

Sorry for the delay.
I found out that the problem is in Internet Explorer. It is some kind of glitch of IE 11 in Windows 7 that it keeps running in background and consuming memory. After looked in some forum the solution is to turn off Internet Explorer from Programs and Features in Control Panel. So now my PC is normal again.
Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
