My mother in laws computer has been giving her a lot of trouble lately so much so it is barely usable. I have been trying to get it working, but I am no computer genius I just remembered about hijack this and have now completed a scan. I am pasting it in here and hopefully someone can have a look at it.
Thanks in advance

Log looks clean.

If you think there's still malware on it, I'd suggest doing the following:

Firstly, run a scan with Malwarebytes Antimalware (the Free version is fine, you don't need to activate the Pro trial). Scan with it, delete whatever it finds, reboot and post the log here. Download it from here:
https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/

Secondly, run a scan with AdwCleaner. Same as above, scan with it, delete what it finds, post the log file here. Download from here:

Hi. Thanks for looking at this for me. I ran those two scans as you suggested. Neither one showed any problems. I've heard people complain about windows8, but I'm running the same OS with none of the problems my mother in law is having.
 
Can try running a chkdsk:

Start -> type 'cmd' (without quotes) -> right click -> run as admin -> in the console window that pops up type:
chkdsk C: /f /r
Press Enter and it will say it cannot lock the current drive and to run on next reboot. Type Y and hit Enter -> Reboot your computer and let it run through the check (it may take some time, depending on how big your HDD is).
 
As carnage said, the log seems clean. If you want me to help, please tell me what the computer is doing. How is it acting strange? What sort of things are happening? Pop-ups? Is it slow? Let me know and I'll help! :)
