Please print these instruction out so that you know what you are doing or leave this page up on this computer so you can refer to it. You can use a CD or DVD to burn OTLPE to just as long as your other system can read it.

Burning and Using OTLPE disk

  • Attach your USB drive / stick to the working system and download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool to the stick.
  • Download OTLPEStd.exe to your desktop of the working system.
  • Ensure that you have a blank CD in the drive
  • Double click OTLPEStd.exe and this will then open imgburn to burn the file to CD
  • Once the CD is burned, eject the CD and place it in the affected system.
  • Reboot your system using the boot CD you just created.
    Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps here
  • As the CD needs to detect your hardware and load the operating system, I would recommend a nice cup of tea whilst it loads :)
  • Your system should now display a Reatogo desktop.
    Note : as you are running from CD it is not exactly speedy
  • Double-click on the OTLPE icon.
  • Select the Windows folder of the infected drive if it asks for a location
  • When asked "Do you wish to load the remote registry", select Yes
  • When asked "Do you wish to load remote user profile(s) for scanning", select Yes
  • Ensure the box "Automatically Load All Remaining Users" is checked and press OK
  • OTL should now start.
  • Press Run Scan to start the scan.
  • When finished, the file will be saved in drive C:\OTL.txt
  • Attach your USB drive / stick to the affect system.
  • Copy this file to your USB drive if you do not have internet connection on this system.
  • Right click the file and select send to : select the USB drive.
  • Confirm that it has copied to the USB drive by selecting it
  • You can backup any files that you wish from this OS
  • Please post the contents of the C:\OTL.txt file in your reply.

FRST scan

  • Locate the USB drive in My Computer on the desktop.
  • Double click on FRST.exe and let it load.
  • Check the Addition box in the Options panel and then click on Scan.
  • When the scan is finished, FRST will have made two new log files on the USB stick (FRST.txt and Addition.txt). Please copy and paste each of these in a post here.

Things for your next reply:

  • How are you doing? We'll get through this.
  • OTLPE log text.
  • FRST.txt log text.
  • Adition.txt log text.
