Yes it works! I entered the location and found the files, I'll try the method in the link. Thanks a lot !

 

UPDATE: This method won't work for me since I don't have a working profile (Step 1 in the link), so most probably it won't work after indexing in the new profile.

 

Thank you anyways! I appreciate your dedication and hard work.

Update!

 

After some extensive research and reading all the posts in the last link you sent the problem I'm facing is definitely due to indexing. There is something called Indexing Options built in in Win 10 (see figure attached). After I deleted and rebuilt the indexing the error still appears, however if you notice in the picture in the Users folder there is an exclusion to AppData, folder in which my error is located. Do you advise me to remove this exclusion and again auto index?

Guess it's worth a try

[KassD7]

Didn't work, I guess I need to format my laptop :S

[RKinner]

Tell me again exactly when these popups show up.

 

Is it just at boot?  I assume there is more than one.  If you x one do you get another?  If you keep killing them off do they eventually stop (after how many windows).

 

Before reloading windows try windows repair all-in-one

 

 

Windows Repair all in one

 

http://www.tweaking....all_in_one.html

 

Download it and save it then run it.

 

You can skip to step 4 or 5 where it gives you the same picture as in the above link.

 

I think by default most of the options are checked so you can just leave it that way and press Start.

 

Reboot when done.

[KassD7]

The pop ups error was solved (I mentioned this before) now my error is just the indexing one. If I access the en-US folder from the location you sent me I can open any window with no problem. when I try accessing them using the search bar (Cortana) the error pops up . I tried getting this folder (en-US) from my friend's laptop since he has no errors, but once I put them in the location I still get the error.

 

Again, now the only error I have is the indexing one.

[KassD7]

Amazingggggg!!! Windows Repair SOLVED my problem! Thank you a lot!

[RKinner]

Wonderful.  I hesitate to use it since it has a simplified idea of what permissions to apply to every file but it does sometimes fix things that nothing else will.

 

Do you still have the Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP errors in your VEW logs?

[KassD7]

Yes I do..

Does Microsoft Office work without complaint?  Supposedly the Microsoft-Windows-Security-SPP errors we see are related to the licensing of Office.

 

You have a lot of SQL errors.  Are you using SQL Server Browser for SQL Server 2012?  IF not I would uninstall it.  If you use it see if you can get it to repair itself:

http://dba.stackexch...ess-2012-repair

 

Dropbox is also reporting a problem.  If it's something you use it probably needs a reinstall.  If not, uninstall it.

[KassD7]

I think all the office errors are from the updates which are 2003 and 2007 web components, I now use the 2016 version.

 

 

I uninstall the SQL Browser since I don't use it and I will reinstall Dropbox.

[RKinner]

OK.  Guess it's time to clean up:

 

 

To delete the Quarantine Folder used by FRST create a fixlist.txt file with just the following line:

 

DeleteQuarantine:

 

Save the fixlist.txt to the same folder as FRST then run FRST and hit Fix.  You can easily delete any other folders and logs.

 

If we installed Speccy it needs to be uninstalled.  Process Explorer, VEW, AdwCleaner, JRT  and their logs and Speccy's log can just be deleted.

 

Also make sure you have the latest versions of any adobe.com products you use like Shockwave, Flash or Acrobat.  Flash is now the most malware targeted program so it must be kept up to date.  Be careful with Adobe.  They are fond of offering optional downloads like yahoo or Ask toolbars or that worthless McAfee Security Scan.  Go slow and uncheck the optional stuff.

 

Whether you use adobe reader, acrobat or fox-it to read pdf files you need to disable Javascript in the program.  There is an exploit out there now that can use it to get on your PC.  For Adobe Reader:  Start, All Programs, Adobe Reader, Edit, Preferences, Click on Javascript in the left column and uncheck Enable Acrobat Javascript.  OK Close program.  It's the same for Foxit reader except you uncheck Enable Javascript Actions. 

 

 

If you use Chrome/Firefox/IE then get the AdBlock Plus Add-on.  Go to adblockplus.org with each browser and get the add-on.  (It's actually a program for IE)

 

If Chrome/Firefox is slow loading make sure it only has the current Java add-on.  Then download and run Speedy Fox.

http://www.crystalidea.com/speedyfox.  Close Chrome/Firefox/Skpe. Hit Optimize.   You can run it any time that Chrome/Firefox seems slow starting..

 

If you are a Facebook user get the FB Purity extension for your browser:

http://www.fbpurity.com/

This will stop all of the suggested pages and ads so that Facebook loads much quicker.

 

 

Be warned:  If you use Limewire, utorrent or any of the other P2P programs you will probably be coming back to the Malware Removal forum.  If you must use P2P then submit any files you get to http://virustotal.combeforeyou open them.

 

Due to a recent rise in the number of Crytolocker infections I am now recommending you install:

 

CryptoPrevent

 

http://www.foolishIT.../cryptoprevent/

 

The free version does not update on its own so you should check for updated versions once in a while. When you install it the default is NONE which is kind of worthless so change it to Standard or default. If you have problems after installing CryptoPrevent you can just uninstall it.

 

If you have a router, log on to it today and change the default password!  If using a Wireless router you really should be using encryption on the link.  Use the strongest (newest) encryption method that your router and PC wireless adapter support especially if you own a business.  See http://www.king5.com...0637284.htmlandhttp://www.seattlepi...ted-1344185.php for why encryption is important.  If you don't know how, visit the router maker's website.  They all have detailed step by step instructions or a wizard you can download.

 

Special note on Java.  Old Java versions should be removed after first clearing the Java Cache by following the instructions in:

http://www.java.com/...lugin_cache.xml

Then remove the old versions by going to Control Panel, Programs and Features and Uninstall all Java programs which are not Java Version 7 update 25 or better.  These may call themselves: Java Runtime, Runtime Environment, Runtime, JRE, Java Virtual Machine, Virtual Machine, Java VM, JVM, VM, J2RE, J2SE.  Get the latest version from Java.com.  They will usually attempt to foist some garbage like the Ask toolbar, Yahoo toolbar or McAfee Security Scan on you as part of the download.  Just uncheck the garbage before the download (or install) starts.  If you use a 64-bit browser and want the 64-bit version of Java you need to use it to visit java.com.

Due to multiple security problems with Java we are now recommending that it not be installed unless you absolutely know you need it.  IF that is the case then go to Control Panel, Java, Security and slide it up to the highest level.  OK.

 

 

My help is free but if you wish to show your appreciation, please donate to Kwiaht instead of me. It's an Orcas Island environmental organization that I volunteered with: http://www.kwiaht.org/donate.htm

(The name means something like "clean place" in one of the local native-American dialects)
