Hello Ron, I removed all as you described. If something comes up I will come back and I will let you know. I want to thank you for everything. Your help was so valuable and your step by step instructions - advices were remarkable, plus I learned new things that I was not even aware of. Thank you once again. Panos

I deleted mostly all the Tools and the logs already with the known way but there are some folders remained in my drive C. Shall I still use OTCleanlt just in case some remain?

Another question: How can I uninstall ComboFix? I follow the uninstalling instructions on their site and instead unistalling, it the program starts scanning again!!

How shall I delete all the tools from my computer?

Hello Ron, "your computer has suffered an attack that has done damage beyond the "normal" and trying to find and repair that damage so far has not been too successful" This is the first time now I know that my computer suffered an attack beyond the normal. You mean the 2 early found quarantined PUP caused a damage?Because the scans I made later with the tools you were providing me their Logs showed nothing. Or did they? Panos

Please give a bit of time to think a bit before I use that tool because if something goes bananas I'm afraid that my situation might go worse. I asked you before about that: Uninstalling all the scanning tools that I have downloaded and the logs, is there a special procedure or simply from Control Panel Add/Remove? Ron, I honestly appreciate for your efforts and for your valuable time you took to help me. Thank you so much. Panos

Sorry Ron but it seems I'm having senior moments now and I don't understand . If the "warm reboot" issue has nothing to do with Windows then which Window problem we are talking about? The slow IE? Panos

Hello Ron, actually I don't know if it is the "warm reboot" issue or something different. In case it is a "warm reboot" issue and that it might be coincidential, as you said, that it happens now with the slow IE issue, that means that I had it from the beginning when I bought my computer? Panos

Hello Ron. I made all the scans, as you were instructed me, and posted all the logs and as we both saw there is nothing wrong. I don't believe running again ComboFix we will get something new. I know that you are an expert and my problem is perhaps a rare and an unbelievable crazy case to you. Even to me, not the expert, because I knew how it was working and I see the difference now. I don't know if it is about Software or a Hardware but I'm sure something is interfering. I run out of any possible ideas but are there any other ideas? Apart from all the above, uninstalling all the scanning tools that I have downloaded and the logs, is there a special procedure or simply from Control Panel Add/Remove? Thank you once again for your effort. Panos Panos

About warm booting my system, I never had this issue before. That started when I downloaded AdAware and during a scan it found some cookies and deleted them. Perhaps it is not related but it appeared after deleting them and made a restart. With IE I noticed the slow issue since some months. Before it worked smooth as a butter. As I said at the start of my post, I use this laptop for the MS Flight Simulator so I didn't change anything that has to do with hardware, softare or settings. I use it as it was from the factory. I'm sure there is something wrong because I see the difference of how it worked before and how it works now. Perhaps it is something easy with just one "click", perhaps it is something more complicated or a combination of these two. I even think if there is a program open and running and causes this slow issue but how can i see that? I'm not sure how I can create a new Profile. I don't want to create another Problem in case something goes wrong. Panos

Hello Ron, The problems persist. 1. When the computer starts it hangs with dark screen and the cursor visible but after some tries it works. I made a check and this is absolutely strange! Every time I unplugg my computer and then plug it in, it starts fine. 2. IE is slow. The connection is fast but it is slow when I write or when I watch a video in youtube the video is a slide show. 3. Now this is new one. Everytime I fire IE there is always this IE Security window coming up. I'm really at a loss Panos

Hello Ron, I'm sorry I was too fast in my conclusions. Strangely after some time I opened IE and again the window popped up for Google Toolbar. I gave another try to check If my computer can start normally, at least to make sure that one problem was solved, but no. The same Problem. After several attempts finally it started. This so strange! Panos

Hello Ron, with computers life is never boring! It seems we reached something here. First of all, after getting home I started the computer 3 times and no hanging! so far so good! Concerning IE, I did all the steps you told me and partly the problem solved. When I start IE there is not that pop up window for the Google Toolbar anymore. But, in YouTube the security window pops up for Adobe Player and when I started writing now here in the forum, the security window popped up for Microsoft Spell Checking Facilities. Still, IE is slow I don't know why. Panos

Yes I will do it immediately after I get back home. Do you think this is also the reason why IE is so slow?

A detail that might be helpful: When I unplug my laptop and wait some seconds then plug it in and start, it works fine. Strange but true! I installed Java the latest version 7 and I have the same IE Security pop up again. I think it has to do with the settings Panos
