Hi moondog830,

All is going in a great direction. We've cleaned up all the stuff, let's do some additional scans to make sure we're good and then we could declare it all clean!

JHlUMFt.png 1 - Scan with Malwarebytes

  • Download Malwarebytes to your Desktop
  • Double-click the file to open it. Install the program.
  • Follow the instruction given on screen.
  • Once installed, launch Malwarebytes from your Desktop.
  • Click Settings>Protection
  • Make sure that "scan for rootkits" option under Scan Options is On
    0zTZMPO.png
  • Go back to Dashboard and click the big, blue Scan Now button.
  • Wait for Malwarebytes to finish the scan
  • If the program will detect anything it will list it in the Scan Results window. Click Quarantine Selected. The program might want to reboot the system. Allow it if it wants to.
  • Once the deletion is done (or after reboot) go to Reports, select the latest Scan Log.
  • Click View Report, then click Export then click Copy to Clipboard.
  • Paste (CTRL+V) the log into your next reply.

ESETOnline.png 2 - Scan with ESET Online Scanner

Download ESET Online Scanner and save it to your desktop.

  • Temporarily disable your antivrus protection: Right-click on the avast! icon in system tray, Select avast! shields control and choose the option to disable avast permenetly.
  • Right-click on esetonlinescanner_enu.exe and select Run as Administrator.
  • When the tool opens, click Get Started.
  • Read and accept the license agreement.
  • At the Welcome to ESET Online Scanner window, click Get Started.
  • Select whether you would like to send anonymous data to ESET.
  • Note: if you see the "Welcome Back to ESET Online Scanner" screen, click Computer Scan > Full Scan.
  • Click on the Full Scan option.
  • Select Enable ESET to detect and remove potentially unwanted applications, then click Start scan.
  • ESET will now begin scanning your computer. This may take some time.
  • When the scan is finished and if threats have been detected, select Save scan log. Save it to your desktop as eset.txt. Click on Continue.
  • ESET Online Scanner may ask if you'd like to turn on the Periodic Scan feature. Click on Continue.
  • On the next screen, you can leave feedback about the program if you wish. Check the box for Delete application data on closing. If you left feedback, click Submit and continue. If not, Close without feedback.
  • Re-enable the Avast antivrus by Right-clicking on the avast! icon in system tray and in the avast! shields control choose to enable.
  • Open the scan log on your desktop (eset.txt) and copy and paste its contents into your next reply.

Congratulations! You now appear to be clean :thumbsup:

Now let's do some housekeeping... I will remove my tools and give some safety recommendations, which you should share with the computer owner...

Tools Removal and Creation of a clean restore point

Download KpRm by kernel-panik and save it to your desktop.

  • Right-click kprm_(version).exe and select Run as Administrator.
  • When the tool opens, ensure all boxes are checked and select Run.
  • Once complete, click OK.
  • A log will open in Notepad titled kprm-(date).txt.
  • Please copy and paste its contents in your next reply.
  • If present, delete any other .bat, .log, .reg, .txt, and any other files created or downloaded during this process, and left on the desktop.
  • I recommend keeping Malwarebytes Anti-Malware installed, it is a great addition to a normal antivirus program. Make sure to update it and run it from time to time. If it finds things such as PUP's (Potentially Unwanted Programs) you can delete those with no worries. However, if it finds something like a Trojan, come see us.

Tips, Information, and Optional Installations

Keeping Programs Updated

Keeping software up-to-date is important as well. Programs such as UCheck, Heimdal Free, or PatchMyPC can help keep the software on your computer up-to-date.

To keep your operating system up-to-date, make sure that Windows Update is enabled on your computer.

Unchecky

Unchecky is a small service that runs in the background to help keep those "extra toolbars" and tag along with search engines from automatically installing. By automatically directing you to a custom install with all the options unchecked, only what you manually choose and confirm gets installed.

  • Download Unchecky to your desktop
  • 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
