I have a Dell Latitude D600. Lately, the screen has started to go extremely dark at random times. If I'm in a dark room and shine a flashlight on the screen, I can make out all the icons and everything runs normal. Also, when I plug in a LCD monitor to the VGA port, the external monitor works fine. It might be a hardware problem, but I'm suspicious of a malware infection because this started shortly after I plugged in a friend's external hard drive and I found at least one virus on his hard drive. And there are times when the monitor works fine, like at initial startup. Also, when I have the second monitor in and I change which one is the primary, both monitors work normally for a short while before the laptop goes dark again.

Thanks for any help you can give to me! Below are the requested logs. I also did an AVG Free scan. They found some stuff, but cleaned it, and the problem remains.

I dont see any more malware but lets make sure that other infection has all gone.

Please download SDFix from here and save it to your desktop

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
Restart your computer
After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
Instead of Windows loading as normal, the Advanced Options Menu should appear;
Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press Enter.
Choose your usual account.

Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
(Report.txt will also be copied to Clipboard ready for posting back on the forum).
Please copy and paste that log in your next reply.
