I'm going to keep it because I've used it before with no issues, but I let someone else use my computer and they completely screwed up.
I will try to get the newest instructions completed tomorrow with an update. Thank you!

everything seems to be running smooth now. I think it's running better than it was when I first got it from rent a center!

Is there anything else I need to follow up on?

Post #19

Hi electriccrayon,

It's important that you follow through with the remainder of the steps I will outline. Absence of symptoms doesn't necessarily translate into malware free. We are making progress so please stay with me until I give you the "all clean" sign. :thumbup:

You previously downloaded the next tool. If you still have it on the computer it is not necessary to download it again.

[external image: bullseye_zpse9eaf36e.gif] Security Check

Download Security Check by screen317 from here or here.

  • Save it to your Desktop.
  • Right click SecurityCheck.exe, select "Run as Administrator" and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.

  • Press OK again to allow AdwCleaner to restart the computer and complete the removal process.
  • After rebooting, a log file report (AdwCleaner[S0].txt) will open automatically.

[external image: bullseye_zpse9eaf36e.gif] ESET Online Scanner

*Note:

  • It is recommended to disable on-board antivirus program and anti-spyware programs while performing scans so there are no conflicts and it will speed up scan time.
  • Please don't go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
  • Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable your antivirus along with your anti-spyware programs.

** You need to run your browser with Administrator Rights, to do so right click your browsers short cut and select "Run as Administrator".

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
