Thanks for the screenshot.

This is a problem with an update notifier from one of your Adobe products.

I’d like you to check your system files:
  • click on Start, All Programs. Accessories, then right click on Command Prompt and click on Run as administrator
  • type in sfc /scannow in the command window and press Enter - note the space between the c and the /
  • if any files require replacing SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Windows 7 Disk for this process to continue. This can be done with a borrowed Windows 7 disk if you don't have one.
  • be patient because the scan may take some time.
  • allow the scan to run and when completed, reboot the system.
===================================

Run MiniToolBox

Note: Please make sure Firefox is closed before you run this.

Please download MiniToolBox, save it to your desktop and run it.

Place a checkmark in the following checkboxes:
  • List last 10 Event Viewer log
  • List Installed Programs
  • List Users, Partitions and Memory size.
  • List Minidump Files
Click Go and post the result (Result.txt). A copy of Result.txt will be saved in the same directory the tool is run.

I ran the Command Prompt, it said it found corruptions but was unable to correct some of them. It generated a log, I don't know if you want to see it, its very long.

done :)

Good work.

Run ESET Online Scan

IMPORTANT Please make sure you uncheck the box next to Remove found threats. Eset will detect anything that looks even slightly suspicious, which could include legitimate program files. If you do not uncheck the box, Eset will automatically remove all suspicious files which could leave some of your software inoperable.

Note: You can use either Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox for this scan. You will however need to disable your current installed Anti-Virus, how to do so can be read here.

Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.

ESET OnlineScan 1. Click the Eset online Scanner button.
2. For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)

• Click on esetinstaller.exe to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
• Double click on the Eset installer icon on your desktop.

3. Check Yes, I accept the Terms of Use
4. Click the Start button.
5. Accept any security warnings from your browser.
6. Check Scan archives
7. Push the Start button.
8. ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
9. When the scan completes, push List of found threats
10. Push Export to Text file and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
Note - if ESET doesn't find any threats, no report will be created.
11. Push the back button.
12. Push Finish
If a log has been produced post it in your next reply.

Hi Montijoar

If you look here you will find the same results. This is from your previous visit so you will need to run it again I'm afraid.

Please take your time and post the results when you can.

Thanks

Satchfan

Update and run Malwarebytes. This really is an excellent program that you should update and run on a regular basis, probably weekly.

It’s important to keep programs up to date so that malware doesn't exploit any old security flaws.
