Please download the OTMoveIt by OldTimer.
  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Please double-click OTMoveIt.exe to run it.
  • Copy the file paths below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy):

    C:\Temp\package8029_CDT3.exe

  • Return to OTMoveIt, right click on the "Paste List of Files/Folders to be moved" window and choose Paste.
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • Copy everything on the Results window to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it on your next reply.
*If a file or folder cannot be moved immediately, you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine, choose Yes.
  • Close OTMoveIt
**If a reboot was necessary or you needed to Exit before posting the log, you will find a copy of the log at the root of the drive where OTMoveIt is installed, usually at :
C:\_OTMoveIt\MovedFiles\********_******.log
(where "********_******" is the "date_time")



Navigate to and delete the contents of this folder.
DO NOT DELETE THE FOLDER ITSELF.

C:\Program Files\PestPatrol\Quarantine

And here is the report from OTMOVEIT: C:\Temp\package8029_CDT3.exe moved successfully. File/Folder not found. File/Folder not found. Created on 08/13/2007 08:46:34 As far as the popups, they are not gone but much less!
Post #19
Download Wpfind3

extract it to your C:\ folder. This will create a folder called WinPFind in the C:\ folder.
Inside c:\WinPFind is a file called WinPFind.exe.
Double-click on this file to launch the program. Once it is launched, click on the Start Scan button and wait for it to finish. This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works as it can take a while, upwards to 30 minutes or more.

Post that log for me please.


And answer this question please.

Are you seeing pop ups or just here that a pop up blocker is blocking pop ups??
This can be normal as you use the internet. Just means that the pop up blocker is working. Also depends where you surf on the internet.
Post #20
Since my last post to you, I have not been hearing any popups being blocked at all!!!! I am so excited about that. And my computer seems to be running great. So do you still want me to D/L Wpfind3?
Post #21
Don't need that log. Symptoms are gone. Kaspersky found them. I do believe your clean at this point.





Great news ! [external image: Posted Image]

Your log now appears to be clean.

Lets do a few things to tidy up.
Please do these in the order I suggest!





___________________________________
Download and install CCleaner from here.

Now open the program and click on Run Cleaner

You may opt out of cleaning cookies. If you clean them alls you will have to do is retype names and passwords for places you visit on the net 1 time.
If you use either the Firefox or Mozilla browsers, the box to uncheck for Cookies is on the Applications tab, under Firefox/Mozilla
I clean all my cookies out from time to time. It's not that big a deal if you remember passwords.


___________________________________
Please create a 'clean' System Restore Point:
The reason for doing this is in case you need system restore you don't put back all we just took out.
Right click My Computer
Then Propeties then system restore
Place a check mark by turn off system restore
Click APPLY
Windows will give you a warning click yes
REBOOT

Now go right back to the same place and unchecksystem restore
Click APPLYand OK
