I have been infected by a Generic Trojan Horse .XCY, .XMS and a downlaoder .Zlob Which AVG antivirus detected and has quarantined in the virus vault I then downloaded Ewiodo Antispyware and removed more of the infections from my Registry, HKLM and SYSTEM32 processes. I then mistakenly believed my computer to be safe after about 1 month my CPU has slowed to the point where iTunes hardly even plays.

I have run Hijack this, Smitfile, AVG, Spybot, ATF cleaner and Edwido in safe mode and I believe I am now problem free...

I have a Log file ready if someone can please look at it...

Also I need advise on how to return my CPU to its normal speed

Any help would be appreciated.

You might want to start all over again and follow the instructions at this link below, there is alot to do and you should follow the steps one at a time and if I were you I would backup all your important files before you do somewhere other than your c: drive....
