Computer Restarts when I connect to Internet [Solved]
38 min read
The majority of the detections are files we have quarantined and will be removed when we remove the tools.
These are detections of a "potentially unwanted program" (PUP). Eset is just warning you of these programs just in case you weren't aware of their presence. PUPs won't infect you but may be installed as part of a package. Looking at the location of the files it would seem that they were knowingly downloaded. These came from RealTimeGaming Software.C:\Users\Miinutes\AppData\Local\Temp\AQ+O_1Wy.exe.part a variant of Win32/CasOnline.I application
C:\Users\Miinutes\AppData\Local\Temp\uR8AJ.exe a variant of Win32/CasOnline.I application
C:\Users\Miinutes\Downloads\BuzzLuck(1).exe a variant of Win32/CasOnline.I application
C:\Users\Miinutes\Downloads\BuzzLuck.exe a variant of Win32/CasOnline.I application
C:\Users\Miinutes\Downloads\LuckyRed.exe a variant of Win32/CasOnline.I application
C:\Users\Miinutes\Downloads\setup.exe a variant of Win32/CasOnline.I application
C:\Users\Miinutes\Downloads\SlotMadnessCasinoInstaller.exe a variant of Win32/CasOnline.I application
You have several online gaming progrmams installed. These are required to enter the sites to play. If you do not want these programs they are:
Cool Cat Casino
Buzzluck Casino
Lucky Red
Slot Madness Casino
Liberty Slots Casino
21Dukes Casino
7Spins
Education is the best prevention tool.Now I just need a way to keep malware viruses and other things off my computer or my teenage boys are gonna drive me insane any suggestions
I can't say for sure how the infection came to be on your computer. It could have been from clicking on something or visiting a website. Social sites such as FaceBook have a lot of unmonitored content posted with links to "Want to see something great?". What you end up with isn't something great. Bootm line don't click on anything they are not sure of. Same is true of unsolicated emails, just delete them unread.
Peer to Peer programs such s Limewire, uTorrent, etc are also a large source of infections. It's not the programs themselves that are dangerous but what can be downloaded with them usually from an unkown source.
We'll clean up the tools now.
From your desktop, please delete, if present
- any notepads/logs that we created
- FSS.exe
- FSS.txt
- TDSS.exe
- awMBR.exe
- mbr.dat
- mbr.zip
- jre-7u17-windows-i586.exe
- jre-7u17-windows-x64.exe
You can delete FRST64.ex, FRST.txt), TDSSKiller.[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_log.txt , TDSSKiller_Quarantine from C:\

Disable your security programs for this first step. you can re-enable them afterwards.
Press the Windows key and the R key. A run box should open'. Copy and paste the following line into the box and click OK
Combofix /uninstall
Next
Open ADWcleaner and click the uninstall button.
Next
Open OTL then click the Clean Up button. You may get prompted by your firewall that OTL wants to contact the internet - allow this. A cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click Yes. This will do some clean up tasks and delete some of the tools you have downloaded plus itself.
I suggest you keep MBAM. Keep it updated and use it regularly.
Updates and upgrades
Adobe Reader
You have an older version of Adobe Reader. You can download the current version HERE . Remember to decline any other installs that nay be offered.
You may want to consider Foxit Reader instead. It may be a bit lighter on resources. If you choose to use Foxit declne the foxit toolbar.
Visit their support forum

In either case you should uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1.2 first. Be sure to move any PDF documents to another folder first though.
