  1. Vere you able to download FRST on this PC? Did you get the message when try to run or download?
  2.

Pando Media Booster warning! Pando Media Booster, which is installed (intentially or not) with some gaming tools, has been known to download/send some uncontrollable data. You can never be sure what it really downloads/uploads. My advice is to uninstall this program. To do so: Press the + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type appwiz.cpl and click OK.Search for Pando Media Booster, right-click the entry and click Uninstall.This is optional, but please consider it. SpyBot S&D Warning MVPS.org is no longer recommending SpyBot S&D due to very poor testing results (scroll down and read under Freeware Antispyware Products). My advice is to get rid of this program. To do so: Press the + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type appwiz.cpl and click OK.Search for SpyBot, right-click the entry and click Uninstall.This is optional, but please consider it. Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine. Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable. Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop: Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work! Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool. (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). Press the Fix button just once and wait.If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.Please attach it to your reply. Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop. Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool. Click on the Scan button.After the scan has finished 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[s0].txt) will open automatically.Post logfile will also be saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder.fixlist.txt
