I have checked your logs and really don't see this as a malware issue but more of a Windows OS issue. Please try the following before we go other routes as this usually fixes errant OS settings.

Please download "Windows Repair - All in One" from here. Please choose "Save file.." if you get options to open the file. Once the download is complete, run the file and install the program on your system. Please use the default settings for locations as it will help with log retrieval and fixing the registry should anything be needed.

Right click on the desktop shortcut for "Tweaking.com - Windows Repair" and select 'Run as administrator'.

The program will run a self check to make sure that all the correct files are in place for it to run and then it will load the program. As you can see, there are many steps to take in using this program. Mainly, the first few steps involve checking for proper Windows files and backing up the system as a precaution.



You can read the notes on the first screen but the important thing to do is click on "ReBoot to Safe Mode" and allow the system to restart itself. Once the system is started in safe mode and you have logged in (using an administrative level account), restart the program and move onto the Step2 screen.



Please click on "Open Pre-Scan" to load a utility to verify some Windows resource / build files and settings.



Click on "Start Scan" and allow the routine to run. You can see the status of the checks in the window.



When the routine is finished, it will report on any problems found and you can click on the appropriate repair button if needed. Once this is done, you can close this window and click on Step3.



Click on the "Check" to see if a repair disk check routine needs to run. A Command Prompt window will open and you can view the status of the routine. If the routine finds that repairs need to be made, please select "Open Disk Check at Next Boot" and then click on the "Reboot To Safe Mode" button. Once the routine(s) completes, please select Step4.



Please click on "Do It" to run a SFC /scannow routine. If the routine makes any repairs, please reboot your system (again into Safe Mode). If the routine does not make any repairs, please move onto Step5.



Once there, click on "Backup" under the 1. Registry Backup. This will make a complete backup of the current registry which can be reloaded should anything go wrong with the repairs that are going to be made. Next, click on the "Create" under 2. System Restore. Once both of these backups are made, select Repairs.



I would suggest that you read the Tips For The Best Repairs Results. Once this is done, click on "Open Repairs".



On this screen, click the following: Defaults. The screen and options should look very much like the picture above. Click "Start Repairs" and confirm that the program starts running the fixes. This will take a while to run, so you can let it run unattended if you like. Log files are being recorded as the repairs are being executed. Once the repairs are finished, reboot your system (normal boot now) and tell me how it is running now.

There has been some issues with ESET ONline Scanner lately. You may want to try this instead:

Go to Emsisoft and download the Emsisoft Free Emergency Kit from here.

• Double click on the EmsisoftEmergencyKit.exe file and then click on Extract to unpack the files (the default directory of C:\EEK is fine).
  
• Go to the new directory and right click on Start Emergency Kit Scanner.exe and choose 'Run as Administrator'.
  
• Once the scanner loads, allow it check for updates.
  
• When the updates are finished, click the BACK button to return to the main menu.
  
• Click on the SCAN and select Malware Scan to start scanning your system. Please enable the PUP detection option, if it asks.
  
• If the scan finds anything, it will open a scan finding window. Please click on View Report; copy this report and paste it here in reply post.
  
• Please close the Emergency Kit Scanner program now.
