Okay, so the next time I reset my computer AFTER that, it bluescreened saying something like

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

 

Something like that.

I system restored because yes, it was reocurring. If the fix did fix it, then I don't know, because of the restore.

Yes, and now I suddenly got a redirect from Malicious File Download 24 .__.

 

It's power has doubled, apparently. I'm assuming that that isn't a coincedence.

You know, if you really can't fix it, that's okay :s

 

Odd thing is, sometimes it just happens like, every time I click to the next page, and sometimes it doesn't for entire minutes.

I have a feeling it may be related to desura however, that is part of a game validation system

A few registry entries were returned so I will kill them now. Could you let me know how it is behaving after this

CAUTION : This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

I installed Norton specifically for the purpose of this redirecting bug, and Desura was installed 2 days after Norton, plenty of people use it too, so yeah, I doubt it's desura that caused it. Also, after doing the FRST fix, it seems my password for my internet connection was reset (not the connection itself, but the automatic login), this didn't happen with the others so is that normal? Online passwords, history and such had been reset, but not my password for my connection before.

 

Already had AdwCleaner, and had used it before.

It seems not, strangely enough. Though as I've said before, it sometimes just delays it. What do you think you did differently this time that stopped it? o.O

I removed 2 possible suspects that did not show before

Could you run as normal for a day or so to ensure that they have gone

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 :thumbsup:

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

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix

delfix.JPG


: 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)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version
javara.JPG


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

CryptoPrevent.JPG

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme ;)

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

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read this little guide Best security practices Keep safe :wave:
