FRST had removed 5.5 GB temporary data!

You were ahead of me updating and scanning although you will want to run AdwCleaner again with the Clean option.

Double-click AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again.
  • Click the Scan button.
  • AdwCleaner will begin to scan your computer like it did before.
    Note:  Windows Vista, Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.
  • After the scan has finished,
  • This time click on the Clean button.
  • Press OK when asked to close all programs and follow the onscreen prompts.
  • Press OK again to allow AdwCleaner to restart the computer and complete the removal process.
  • After rebooting, a logfile report (AdwCleaner[CX].txt) will open automatically (where the largest value of X represents the most recent report).
  • Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
  • A copy of that logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder.
Since you reinstalled Flash Player, it would probably be a good idea to set it to update automatically.  Go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items and launch Flash Player.  In the window that opens, click Updates > Change Update Settings > Change the setting to "Allow Adobe to install updates (Recommended)".  Unfortunately, the updates often take several days to a week to get pushed, which is why I never wait, but for people who don't follow this type of information, its the best way to go.

Don't forget to run Delfix (instructions above) when you're finished.

Hi, Corrine!

I returned the computer, and my friend Eleni was surprised to see it ... in its new condition! She sends you many many thanks!!!

Everything was performed as you said, although I have not provided the logs from Adware cleaner and Delfix. I was in a hurry in the morning, I read your answer from my ipod, ran the programs, but didn't manage to log in to the Forum from the computer.

So, I thank you once more, and wish you all the best. Till the next time!  ;)

Based on the number of times you've run those tools, I knew you wouldn't have a problem and suspected you'd return the computer without posting the logs, which is why I included the Delfix reminder.

Please tell Eleni she is very welcome.  I'm sure she also appreciates the help you provided.

Actually, I ran the clean option of Adware cleaner yesterday, and by mistake I posted the other log.  :)
So, yes I have ... a kind of experience, compared to what I was doing 5 years ago, and this is due to my special teacher.  ;)
But don't suspect anything. If it was my computer, I would ask you even if I could shut it down at night!  ;D

You have learned a lot since you discovered LzD.  Do you think you would have replaced a hard drive (with instructions/guidance from Techie & Satrow) all by yourself five years ago?  You probably would have been looking for a new computer.  :D
