Try downloading from the link below:

There are alternatives but I want to see why it is not working.

Hi,

Delete your current version of OTL.exe and download a new version from here. Download the attached scan.txt file to your Desktop.


Right-click on OTL.exe and choose Run as administrator to run the program. Double-click on the "Custom Scans/Fixes" box to navigate to the scan.txt file which you downloaded earlier and click OK.

After the contents of the text file is loaded click on Run Fix and post the log when done.

Got a big problem now..

I have ROBOFORM installed which is a password manager associated with Internet Explorer.

when I boot up I get:
=================================================================

robotaskbaricon.exe - system error

The program can't start because Roboform.DLL is missing from your computer.

Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
==================================================================
Also my home page disappeared from internet options... and it went back to Google...
My history links disappeared along with the quick link to this site... so I have had to scramble to get back to you...



I don't have the disk of roboform and it was apain in the [bleep] to get it set up from online with this new laptop...

can you just UNdo whatever registry change caused the .dll to disappear....??


I think the virus is gone....

Can you just get me back where I was before this last fix and we can just call it a day?

Panicking won't help. Stay calm and read through my post.

Go to C:\_OTL\MOvedFiles\03102014_142710\C_\Program Files (x86)\Siber Systems\AI RoboForm\roboform.dll and copy it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Siber Systems\AI RoboForm folder.

Also my home page disappeared from internet options... and it went back to Google...
My history links disappeared along with the quick link to this site... so I have had to scramble to get back to you...

It was reset when the infected links were removed.

I think the virus is gone....

You sure? I won't be keeping you here if that was the case.

======

Do the copy/paste and re-boot and RoboForm. We may create a new registry entry if necessary. Also if you do not find try all the other folders in C:\_OTL folder.

Whew! You are my hero once again, Valinorum. My RoboForm is back and working just fine.



One thing, though, now when I open up Internet Explorer, the MANAGE ADD ONS window opens up on top of it.

I have attached a screen shot.


It looks like it want me to select a SEARCH engine?? though I don't see a place to add this info.

Can you tell me how to make this window go away?

Might this have been a registry entry that can be changed too? I usually search with GOOGLE, but I didn't have it set up as an ADD-ON.



Thanks

OK... we never got ESET to work on my computer.... remember?



However, MalwareBytes found 3 spyware and cleaned them all.



Can you tell me the result of the last few output notes that I have pasted..... do they show that my machine is clear????



Thanks

Regarding your search provider issue, click on Find More Search Providers and a new window will open with Internet Explorer gallery from where you can pick your desired search option.

Will send those later today or at latest tonight.

I await the logs.
