Hi guys. starting yesterday or the day before, i started to notice a decline in the quality of performance of my computer. i was thinking my processor (intel i5-2500k) was starting to give out even though it seemed unlikely.

I just noticed today when i was exiting skype through task manager because it was lagging like all hell, that there was a program called SP.exe running. I immediately end processed it and my cpu usage went from 64%- 15%.

I looked it up and the internet says it's a keylogger. How do i remove it safely and quickly? all of the removal websites, besides symantec, were pretty sus. I've run Malwarebytes (Free) 3 times now and it didn't catch anything.

Thanks in advance :)
 
Post the log in text form please... going to be a lot easier for me to go through it than with pics... You can just copy/paste the contents of the log into a post, or upload the log file as an attachment.
 
Yeah you can use a series of tools:

If Adwcleaner doesn't work try:

Avast and malwarebytes; if this does not work try using Norton Power Eraser (free), and Bitdefender

If those don't work try other options like running ultimate boot cd and using their malware solutions

If that doesn't work try combofix (can be dangerous, only use for last resort)

Just some suggestions:

Maybe try cmd-> netstat -ano and look at the processes associated with PID, then open up task manager and go to view then select columns. Select PID.

Match PID on cmd with task manager. You could have more than one hiding somewhere.

It would say connection established if it was connected to you, if you see listening you are safe

I don't recommend Avast anymore. See my latest post in the Tech-Forums Top Rated AV thread.
 
My bad. I ran it again just now, and here it is.

I believe the Akami\netsession.exe entry is for a download accelerator/manager. I generally don't recommend using download accelerators/managers, so I'd advise to uninstall it from Programs & Features.

I see you're using Raptr.... you may want to be aware of this:
HARDOCP - Raptr Service Hacked, Accounts Compromised

The only entry I saw that'd be considered bad would be this one:
O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler V3.exe

Check that one and delete it in HiJackThis.

Did AdwCleaner come back with anything?
