1190524 2011-03-30 05:41:00 I have a Toshiba L650 laptop which I bought last year Harvey Norman Tauranga. It crashed late December I phoned Toshiba and was advised to take it back to HN which I did, after Xmas they said it was infected with some malaware.
To which they removed for me and advised me to reformat which I did, now I'm still having problems it takes about 5 to 7 minutes to fire up win7 it some times freezes with firefox or thunderbird and even Word it seems to freeze then after about a couple of minutes is OK.
I have checked it with malwarebytes and its all good, so don't know what to do now don't really want to take it back to HN yet!

If you just did a reformat and didn't change the hard drive partitions at all then a rootkit could potentially still be in the MBR of the HDD.

1190531 2011-03-30 09:05:00 Find anything speedy? I would also recommend checking the drive, seatools is as good as any, you can run the built in DST on pretty much any brand of HDD. wratterus (105)

Pass 3508 Just for future reference -- send the log in details Via a PM, so only the person helping knows it , other wise here in a public forum any low life can see it, and jump in as long as TV is running in that session.

The password will change next time its run, but the login will remain the same.

1190533 2011-03-30 09:34:00 Nope Wrat . Didnt see any nasties . Altho streaming to a PS3 (I think he was doing this, made the CPU usage go over 50%) .

Something was making the CPU usage go to 100% a few times . I didnt see anything in task manager .

Just did a scan with trojan remover, it was good, defragged the hdd . Altho probably not a good idea using it on your lap lol . Even tho its a laptop
