The best thing to do would be to follow this procedure so we can make sure you aren't infected and then can tell what is running on your system.

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from here or here and save it to your desktop.
  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to
    • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    • and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version. Please keep updating until it says you have the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • A log will be saved automatically which you can access by clicking on the Logs tab within Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware


Download the HijackThis installer from here.
Run the installer and choose Install, indicating that you accept the licence agreement. The installer will place a shortcut on your desktop and launch HijackThis.

Click Do a system scan and save a logfile

Most of what HijackThis lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.

Post the logfile that HijackThis produces along with the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log

The processes aren't taking much CPU usage, should slow down that much speed, did u see the % of RAM being used?
Even though its fine, just follow the mods post above ^^^

Looks like you have rogers online security and AVG both active. If rogers provide the same protection as AVG then I highly recommend to uninstall one of them to save system resources.

Also if you don't use these programs please have hijackthis fix them.

O4 - Startup: Z Cinema.lnk = ?
O4 - Global Startup: MozyHome Status.lnk = C:\Program Files\MozyHome\mozystat.exe

Just rerun hijackthis and place checks next to those entries and then click on fix checked at the bottom. Other than that, I don't see any issues in your log. If you continue to experience issues, it looks like you have a software issue.

Downloading and running Ccleaner will help tremendously to speed up your system by deleting old temporary internet files and system files. How much memory is installed in this machine?
