This is a worm and needs to go.

O23 - Service: Mass Effect™ Xbox 360 - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache\mfxbox.exe

  • Go to Start> Run and type in services.msc then press Enter
  • Scroll down to Mass Effect™ Xbox 360
  • Double Click that service to open it.
  • Click on Stop Service.
  • Then change the Startup Type to Disabled.
  • OK your way out of the program.

Then remove the entry with HJT.

O23 - Service: Mass Effect™ Xbox 360 - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache\mfxbox.exe


Open HJT > Misc Tools>Delete a file on Reboot and scroll to C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllcache\mfxbox.exe Then OK and reboot.

The rest of your log looks fine :thumbup:


Post a new HJT log.

Micheal03 :D

Log looks good :thumbup:

C:\Program Files\DAP <– This program is safe , the paid version will eliminate adds , the free version may not.


Just to be on the safeside, lets do this.


Run this free online virus scanner from Panda, it may pick up some bad entires that are not showing up on your HJT log. It's important that I see the log so copy and paste it into your next reply.
Panda ActiveScan <—-Accept default settings
Post #7 last edited
I can't run Panda ActiveScan.. When it gives an option where to scan.. I clicked, nothing happened. And when i was in that page, it keep saying to install Controles (unverified publisher) I keep installing it, still no luck…
Post #8
Some systems have trouble with running some of these, do you have your security setting in IE set to high, it may be blocking the activex from installing. You can open IE and go to Tools> Internet Options> Security and change the setting to low, then to the Advanced Tab and allow Active x . Don't forget to change these back when your done.


If still no luck, they this one from TrendMicro.

How is your system running now? Any better?
