Hello,
I recently noticed that my computer is slowing and crashing a lot more. I also noticed a strange appearance of computers on my network. I live in a student apartment complex and the internet has never felt too secure or of a high performance. However, I'm pretty certain my networks never used to show all of these:
I run a Connectify Hotspot from my computer if that helps, however, it's not an open connection.
Today I decided that my computer was getting a little too slow and the network visibility was making me a little uncomfortable, so I ditched AVG and downloaded Avast free anti-virus and COMODO firewall.
I noticed that there were a TON of svchost.exe connections that pointed to various other local IP addresses in this building (I assume) which kinda freaked me out, but I understand they may not all be harmful.
I then contacted a technician at GeekBuddy and although I don't have a subscription with them, he took a remote-admin look at my system and said I have a severe virus infection that Avast wouldn't be able to remove. I'm a poor student and can't afford the GeekBuddy subscription, but if that wasn't a marketing ploy, it sounds pretty serious.
Below I've linked adwCleaner, aswMBR and FRST log files. I would really appreciate some direction.
