  1. If SFC dos’nt fix the problem, more googling gets this as a possible, it is the only 2.exe in your HJT log.

    c:\Program Files\Common Files\Protexis\License Service\PsiService_2.exe

    Revo in Advanced mode will uninstall everything, including registry entries.

    Revo Uninstaller
    http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/…

    http://www.revouninstaller.com/
    Open Revo, double click on a program logo, click > Yes & then you get your options, with Advanced down the bottom.
    If you have partially uninstalled your program, you get a message from Revo, that it can’t find the uninstaller, hit Cancel & let Revo continue on, to search for the remnants.
    If you get a reboot message, ignore it & do it after Revo has finished.
    I use Advanced Mode. Screenshots of how to use.

  2. HJT log is Ok, but modern infections can hide very efficiently.

    Here are some basic methods to check for infections & slowness.
    See if they fix your problem, if not, shall have to dig further.

  3. You are infected, maybe download the ESET program from a normal comp & put it on a thumb drive.

    C:\Windows\Temp\2.exe

    I shall go through the HJT log now.
