Hi Jonathan, 
 

Question - is all of this just for MyCleanPC or was my computer just really screwed up?

We've removed a lot of adware/PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programmes), browser hijackers and other undesirable software from your computer. MyCleanPC was not the only software needing removed. 
 
------------
 
Your Anti-Virus (Norton Internet Security) is outdated and possibly corrupt. Is your version of Norton paid-for or free? If paid-for, is the subscription still valid, or do you need to renew? 
 
Would you like to stick with Norton, or switch to an alternative (free or paid-for)?
 
------------
 
Please do the following. 
 
xlK5Hdb.png Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) Script

  • Press the Windows Key pdKOQKY.png + r on your keyboard at the same time. Type Notepad and click OK.
  • Copy the entire contents of the codebox below and paste into the Notepad document.

    end
  • Click FileSave As and type fixlist.txt as the File Name
  • Important: The file must be saved in the same location as FRST.exe. 

NOTICE: This script is intended for use on this particular machine. Do not use this script on any other machine; doing so may cause damage to your Operating System.

I'd like to switch out a good quality free version is you know of one. A lot of the bad stuff was from where i downloaded programs and chose the "recommended" installation method. I've since learned not to do it that way and why but the damage was already done

Hello, 
 
The only only free Anti-Virus software I recommend are the following:

However...
Whilst Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is extremely lightweight and simple to use, the programme has been critisied for its detection ratio.
avast! bundles unnecessary software and add-ons. 
 
Out of the two, I would go with avast!, but ensure you carefully read each page during the installation. I recommend unchecking the installation of add-ons such as "Grime Fighter" and "Software Updater".
 
---------
 
Before installing your Anti-Virus of choice, please ensure you use Revo to uninstall Norton Internet Security
Best practice is to also download and save the Anti-Virus setup file to your Desktop before uninstalling your current Anti-Virus. Once uninstalled, use the setup file to install your new Anti-Virus. 
 
---------
 
At the end of this process I will provide recommended reading material and supplementary programmes that will help reduce the risk of reinfection. An Anti-Virus alone is not enough to protect you from today's threat; knowledge and a layered security solution are necessary nowadays.
 
Let me know when you've sorted the Anti-Virus, and we will move onto the final stages - updating vulnerable software and removing the tools we've used.

You must only have one Anti-Virus installed at any time. 

As you want to replace Norton, the programme must be uninstalled. It doesn't matter if the programme is out of date; it can still be uninstalled. 

 

Pick between MSE and avast!. You can't have both - only one. Download the setup file of your choice and save the file to your Desktop. 

Open Revo and uninstall Norton Internet Security. 

Open the Anti-Virus setup file saved to your Desktop, and follow the prompts to install the programme. 

 

------------

 

Norton Internet Security is a subscription based programme. In order to use the programme, yearly payments are required. If you wish to use Norton, you will need to renew your subscription.

Hello, 

 

Ultimately, the decision is yours.

But I would recommend unchecking the Software Updater, Grime Fighter and Browser Cleanup.

Good job. 
 
Don't forget to run the FRST Script from Post #18 if you've yet to do so. 
 
------------
 
Our last job before finishing up is to update your vulnerable software to reduce the risk of reinfection. 
 
STEP 1

Hello, 

 

If Chrome is the only browser you use, I suggest uninstalling Adobe Flash Player.
