  • Double click AdwCleaner.exe to run it.
  • Click Scan Now.
  • Once the scan completes, AdwCleaner shows you what it found on your computer. Check the boxes next to the items detected and disable, then click Next.
  • Now, AdwCleaner will show you any preinstalled software it found on your device. Again, check the boxes next to the items detected and disable. If nothing found, you won't see this message.
  • Click Continue, then click Restart now, and you're done.
  • Once your computer has restarted:
    • Click the Log Files tab.
    • Click Skip Basic Repair to finish the cleaning process
    • Double click on the latest Clean log (Clean logs have a [C0*] suffix, where * is replaced by a number, the latest scan will have the largest number)
    • A Notepad file will open containing the results of the removal.
    • Please post the contents of the file in your next reply.

Mary Ann,

You did a great job!

Here it is another one:

  • Download Malwarebytes and save it to your Desktop.
  • Once downloaded, close all programs and Windows on your computer.
  • Double-click on the icon on your desktop named MBSetup.exe. This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer.
  • Follow the instructions to install the program.
  • When finished, double click the program's icon created on your Desktop.
  • Click the little gear on the top right (Settings) and when it opens, click the General tab. Under the title Windows Security Center, make sure the option is disabled.
  • Click the Scan and Detections tab and under the Scan options title, enable Scan for rootkits option. Do not change any other option.
  • Return to the Dashboard and choose Scan.
  • When finished, you will see the Threat Scan Summary window open.
  • If threats are not found, click View Report and proceed to the two last steps below.

    If threats are found, make sure that all threats are not selected,close the program and proceed to the next steps below.
    • Open Malwarebytes again, click on the Scanner, and then on the Reports tab.
    • Find the report with the most recent date and double click on it.
    • Click on Export and then Copy to Clipboard.
    • Paste its content here, in your next reply.

Sorry, Mary Ann, that isn't it.  You posted another copy of the AdwCleaner log. 

Were you able to download Malwarebytes?  If not, please try again at the corrected link DR M provided and run it paying very close attention to DR M's instructions above.  In fact, since the instructions include closing all programs, I suggest either printing or writing down the instructions so you can refer to them during the process.


Take a walk through the "Security Garden" -- Where Everything is Coming up Roses!

Remember - A day without laughter is a day wasted.
May the wind sing to you and the sun rise in your heart.

mare_wbpa

I guess the log above wsn't what you were looking for

Corrine

As I already told you, Mary Ann, no. You already posted that log before and then DR M gave you new instructions. I've repeated the instructions for you:

  • Download Malwarebytes and save it to your Desktop.
  • Once downloaded, close all programs and Windows on your computer.
  • Double-click on the icon on your desktop named MBSetup.exe. This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer.
  • Follow the instructions to install the program.
  • When finished, double click the program's icon created on your Desktop.
  • Click the little gear on the top right (Settings) and when it opens, click the General tab. Under the title Windows Security Center, make sure the option is disabled.
  • Click the Scan and Detections tab and under the Scan options title, enable Scan for rootkits option. Do not change any other option.
  • Return to the Dashboard and choose Scan.
  • When finished, you will see the Threat Scan Summary window open.
  • If threats are not found, click View Report and proceed to the two last steps below.

    If threats are found, make sure that all threats are not selected,close the program and proceed to the next steps below.
    • Open Malwarebytes again, click on the Scanner, and then on the Reports tab.
    • Find the report with the most recent date and double click on it.
    • Click on Export and then Copy to Clipboard.
    • Paste its content here, in your next reply.
