Hi joesbkntx32,

:welcome:

My name is Tomk. I would be glad to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems. Logs can take a while to research, so please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following:

  • I will be working on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

speedupmypc. I would like to keep this program if at all possible. It has been a valuable tool. However, if it is infected, I guess it has to go. Thanks for all your help.
joesbkntx32,

In my opinion… SpeedUpMyPC is little more than snake oil. For me… you'd be better off just throwing your money in the street. However, you state "It has been a valuable tool." I'm having a little trouble comprehending that statement. If it has been beneficial to you… you are a complete anomaly. As far as I know, up until you, only the stockholders of UniBlue have benefited from its existence. However… with the exception of the registry cleaner/enhancer function, it will probably do you little harm. Using the registry cleaner puts your system at great risk. This can honestly be said about any of these type of programs. It's your system so we'll leave it.

  • Please open Notepad (Start -> Run -> type notepad in the Open field -> OK) and copy and paste the text present inside the code box below:

    File::
    C:\Documents and Settings\J&J\My Documents\Downloads\frostwire-4.21.3.windows.exe
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\0.7900201787555379.exe
  • Save this as CFScript.txt and change the "Save as type" to "All Files" and place it on your desktop.

    [external image: Posted Image]
  • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before following the steps below. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
  • Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.
  • ComboFix will now run a scan on your system. It may reboot your system when it finishes. This is normal.
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.
CAUTION: Do not mouse-click ComboFix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

When you reply, be sure to update me on how things seem to be running now?
If your advice is to uninstall speedupmypc, then I'll do it. I am pretty computer savvy, but don't know much about cleaners. I am at your discretion as far as helping me clean my computer.

joesbkntx32,

Log looks good :D


Time for some housekeeping
  • Click START then RUN
  • Now type ComboFix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK.
  • Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
  • [external image: Posted Image]
The above procedure will:
  • Implement some cleanup procedures.
  • Reset System Restore.

Now to remove most of the tools that we have used in fixing your machine:
  • Make sure you have an Internet Connection.
  • Download OTC to your desktop and run it
  • A list of tool components used in the cleanup of malware will be downloaded.
  • If your Firewall or Real Time protection attempts to block OTC to reach the Internet, please allow the application to do so.
  • Click Yes to begin the cleanup process and remove these components, including this application.
  • You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.

Please re-enable any security that was disabled.


The following is my standard advice for the future. Use what you can and pat yourself on the back for what you're already doing.

Please take time to read Preventing Malware - Tools and Practices for Safe Computing. Very important information for your consideration is contained therein.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
by Tony Klein


Also: "How to prevent malware"
by miekiemoes

Please respond back that you understand the above and let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, this thread will be closed Resolved. :thumbup:
I understand completely, and really do appreciate your help. If there's any voting system or anything like that where i can improve your score on how well you are, let me know. Will be glad to do it.
