By the way, I dont know if you know anything about minecraft or if this has anything to do with it, but the servers i click on have MASSIVE ping. At least 1000ms. Or the server just says "Cannot resolve host name." people have said its due to a firewall problem. and after this fix it still says this.

Hi again,
I am so glad that the firewall has decided to cooperate. Me a wizard? Nah, the guy who made that neat little program is more of a wizard then I
I don't have much time these days to play games like minecraft
I did do a little research on that ping issue, and it could be a problem with version 1.3.1 - but I really did not spend too much time looking around at that issue.
I also read of an issue that the part of the game that measures the ping might be adding an extra second to the results that you see
You might get the attention of someone that is more of a gamer than I, in this sub forum here. I don't even have the game, and don't really know much about it, sorry.

Are you sure that's all there was to the ESET scan?

[MNISather]

That is all that the log.txt says

It looks to me that we have removed all the bad stuff so --
Subject to no further problems

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL

• Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
  

  :Commands
  [resethosts]
  [emptytemp]
  [Reboot]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top
• Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

• Go to control panel
• Select folder options (Appearance > Folder options in category view)
• Select the View Tab.
• Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
• Click Yes to confirm.
• Click OK.

Please see this article about a serious exploit in Java. It would be wise to follow those instructions, until Java is updated, probably in the middle of the October.
Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application.

Upgrading Java:

• Go to this site and click Do I have Java
• It will check your current version and then offer to update to the latest version

SPRING CLEAN

To manually create a new Restore Point

• Go to Control Panel and select System
• Select System
• On the left select System Protection and accept the warning if you get one
• Select System Protection Tab
• Select Create at the bottom
• Type in a name i.e. Clean
• Select Create

Now we can purge the infected ones

• Go Start > All programs > Accessories > system tools
• Right click Disc cleanup and select run as administrator
• Select Your main drive and accept the warning if you get one
• For a few moments the system will make some calculations
• Select the More Options tab
• In the System Restore and Shadow Backups select Clean up
• Select Delete on the pop up
• Select OK
• Select Delete

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes. Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programs on your system need updating and give a download link

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

• Microsoft Windows Update
