OK what I will do now is remove the tools and tidy up, but keep an eye on it. I believe it to be clean and can see no miscreants or traces


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:

Download and run Delfix




: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

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

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware



Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean


It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

Hmm weird, I can give an alternative download if you wish, is it Defender or IE that is calling it forbidden ?

[CARS Auto]

Yea, it was internet explorer. I went in and manually deleted a lot of the files I knew where added but I'd be happy to try anything you recommend.

[Essexboy]

OK that was probably a blue bar across IE

I will download the latest version to my dropbox and give the link
OK it is only 900K I use this on my system as I do go to some dark corners of the web


https://dl.dropboxus...reventSetup.exe

I don't know, I tried to save it to the desktop again and it said it couldn't be downloaded, didn't say why though?? I'll save your contact info and everything and if I run into any other issues I'll let you know. Thanks again for everything!

[Essexboy]

OK I will check out my IE and see if I can locate the setting that is causing that, unless it is allied to defender somehow

Thank you for the donation
