Hi, I'm new to the forum so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section or if the information I give is inadequate but I'll do my best.

I've managed to inherit an Acer Aspire 1652WLMi laptop from my mother... it used to run fine and seemed so much faster than my old desktop. But over the past... 2 years? It has seemed so much slower and the fan constantly roaring at ear-shattering levels.

Here are the specs:
Acer Aspire 1652WLMi Laptop running Windows XP ?Home? SP2
1.73 GHz
512MB ram DDR2 (support dual-channel???)

I think this should be enough info...correct me if I'm wrong

A few problems I've had are virtumonde (tried a few things and haven't seemed able to remove it), A hyperactive explorer.exe (generally bringing my CPU usage to 100%), An infected rundll32.exe (32.5 kb and has a page icon), Antivirus 2009 (stupid people don't know what year it is ) ... There are probably a few others but I'm tired right now. I can look into it later if need be.

Here is my Hijack this log:

Hi, welcome to TSF!

You are operating your computer with multiple Anti Virus programs.

AVG7
Avast!

Anti-virus programs take up an enormous amount of your computer's resources when they are actively scanning your computer. Having two anti-virus programs running at the same time can cause your computer to run very slow, become unstable and even, in rare cases, crash.

Uninstall one of them and keep only one.
________

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running combofix:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix


Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:

1. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
   
2. Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.
___________

Please click Here to download HijackThis to your desktop.

Click the Download button. When the Trend Micro HJT install box appears, double click on the HJTInstall.exe. Click on Install.

It will be installed by default here: C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis

A shortcut to the application will also be placed on your Desktop.

The program will open automatically after installation.

You can double-click the icon that was placed on the Desktop to run subsequent HijackThis scans or you can use the icon inside the folder. The folder HijackThis is where you will find the HJT logs that you save. When you use the application to remove anything, you will also find the backup copies made by HJT inside this folder.

Click on "Do a system scan and save logfile" When the log pops up in Notepad, copy and paste that file back here.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:

C:\ComboFix.txt
C:\Qoobox\Add-Remove Programs
New HijackThis log.
