Those two files not backed up by Tweeking are related to your user profile , even with out backing them up if you ran the  reg fix and it caused problems you could still use Tweeking to back up the registry and also System Restore if you need to.

 

I would say go for it 

That was along the lines I was thinking too.

 

I've run the merge and here is the FRST64 Fixlog (run just before):

The system needed a reboot.

Do you need me to run another FRST64 Fix or is that one from before the Regfix merge sufficient?

Done. Here is the SystemLook log:

Next move?

Hi Ken545,

 

Thanks for sticking with this.

 

All looks good now. 10 secs to splash screen on restart, 30 sec more to login screen, then 1 min more to stable desktop.

 

Are we done enough now to see if my neighbour is ready to update this one to Windows 10?

 

Thanks for your patience once again!

 

I'm going to shut everything down now and make the drive back home. Will check in again later this evening.

This should remove those FRST backups along with FRST

 

Please download DelFix and save the file to your Desktop.
 
[external image: DelFix_zps139e2ea1.jpg]
 
  • Windows XP Double Click DelFix.exe to run the program. 
  • Windows Vista > Win 7 > Win 8 Right Click on DelFix.exe and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR 
  • Checkmark " Remove Disinfection Tools "
  • Click the Run button
  •  
    This will remove the specialised tools we used to clean your system. Any leftover logs, files, folders or tools remaining on your Desktop which were not removed can be deleted manually

     

     

     

     

     

    Looks like your good to go. Windows 10 is ready for this system, go for it

     

    I am down for the night myself

     

     

     
    So How did I get infected in the first place <– Some reading for you to keep yourself safe online
