Explorer.exe is starting to worry me. First of all, it wasn't capitalized before. Second of all, it is now using about 50-100 percent of my system resources. I've got a 2.2 ghz processer and 1.25 gig of ram, and the computer should not be running this slowly with these few processes running. The computer has greatly slowed down. I can feel a hack presence, and .DLLs and have been popping up everywhere, along with DLLHOST.EXE in the processes that was not there before. Been repeatedly running spyware progs like AVG, Kaspersky, HijackThis, and Spyware Doctor, and constantly get trojans and worms. This log is my processes after just starting the computer. I'd appreciate some insight.

Thanks

Hello and welcome to PCHF,

Sorry for the delay. Please post the logs from AVG and SuperAntiSpyware listed in the Prework

These are the logs from the scans. I find that explorer.exe is sucking up my resources, and the appearance of dllhost.exe alarmed me. It just seems like my OS isn't operating to its full potential, or even as well as two weeks ago. It seems like the presence of spyware and malware is gone for the most part, but my OS is still running really slowly.

Let's take a look and see if this scanner can find something hidden:

Please run the F-Secure Online Scanner

Note: This scanner is for Internet Explorer only :!:

Follow the instructions here for installation.
Accept the License Agreement.
Once the ActiveX installs, click Full System Scan
Once the download completes, the scan will begin automatically.
The scan will take some time to finish, so please be patient.

When the scan completes, click the Automatic cleaning (recommended) button.

Click the Show Report button and attach the entire report in your next reply.

(Dllhost.exe is part of the Windows Operating System - no need to worry about that one)

Thanks.

Heres the report.
