My PC has been running slowly (40% and I'm not even running anything).

I opened up Task Manager and something called Spyfader popped up, and in a matter of seconds, it hid itself again.

I went on different websites, googled it and everything, and people said it was a usb mouse/keyboard keylogger, but my mouse is PS2. One user had this virus, and a PC expert on the forum tried many techniques, but to no avail, and his computer finally 'died' 14 days later.

I read your guide on spyware removal, but didnt work. Please help!!! This is serious!!! I scanned with Avira, Spyware Doctor, NOD32, and nothing. Here is the Hijackthis log:

I need you to reboot into safemode, scan the system again with hijackthis and remove the entries below

Then log back onto normal mode and post another log

OK I followed your instructions, and I'm still getting the speeds. Do you know about Spyfader? I'm sure it was Spyfader that appeared for 1 second, not Sysfader, like some other forums. Please help!

I never had popups, and from what I read about this, nobody else did. When I mean speeds, my computer is still running very slow, much slower than it used to (3% to 40%). I googled it and people got the same symptoms.
 
So you read my guide, did you actually go thru it? Did you install AVG which is in the guide? What did the the "popup" look like that hid itself? What does your startup look like under msconfig>startup?
 
I'll try installing AVG.

It wasn't a desktop popup, but on Task Manager. When I went onto Task Manager to check the computer speed, something called 'Spyfader' with a blueish icon popped up on Task Manager, and disappeared in 2 seconds.

On MSCONFIG, there's nothing suspicious, and I recognize all of the startup programs.
 
OK, install AVG and run a full system scan

msconfig - If I was you I would disable everything but your antivirus unless you absolutely need one of those programs running. This WILL speed up your pc if you have a lot of entries checked
