Windows - Delayed Write Filed

Hello k_selvage

Thank you for the logs.

I hope I ran all the scans correctly. Hopefully, I didn't confuse you too much.

You ran everything perfectly and there is no confusion thanks to your explanations


Everything detected by SAS can be removed. Once removed, please set a new system restore point:

• Please create a new System Restore point
  
  
  
  • Click on "Start" > "All Programs" > "Accessories" > "System tools" > "System Restore".
  • In the dialogue box that appears select "Create a Restore Point".
  • Click "Next".
  • Enter a name
  • e.g. Todays date.
  • Click "Create".
  
  
• Foistware
  
  
  
  • I can see from your log that you have Viewpoint Media Player installed.
  • Viewpoint Media Player is considered as foistware rather than malware since it is installed without user's approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad".
  • It is recommended that you remove Viewpoint products. However, this choice is up to you.
  • To remove these programs, click "Start" and then on "Control Panel" and then on "Add or Remove Programs".
  • Select Viewpoint Media Player and click on "Remove".
  
  Your DDS log looks good. Provided you are no longer having any problems I think we are almost done.
  
  Lets remove the tools we used to clean your machine in the steps below:
  
  
• Please Uninstall Combofix
  
  
  
  • Click on "Start" and then on "Run".
  • Now type combofix /uninstall in the run box and click "OK". Please note the space between the "x" and the "/Uninstall", it needs to be there.
  
  
• Please perform the following cleanup procedure
  
  
  
  • Double click on the OTM.exe icon on your desktop to run the program.
  • Once OTM has opened, click on the "CleanUp!" button.
  • Follow any prompts that you receive.
  
  
• Removal of Tools
  
  
  
  • You no longer need aswMBR or Unhide. Please delete them from your machine.
  • ERUNT, Flash disinfector, Autorun Eater, MBAM and SAS are yours to keep.
  
  
  Once you have completed the above steps you should be good to go! If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.
