  1. Hello, They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you. Before we start please read and note the following: Limit your internet access to posting here, some infections just wait to steal typed-in passwords. Please be patient. I know it is frustrating when your PC isn't working properly, but malware removal takes time. Don't run any scripts or tools on your own, unsupervised usage may cause more harm than good. Do not paste the logs in your posts, attachments make my work easier. There is a Attach Files option below which you can use to attach your reports. Always attach reports from all tools. Stay with me to the end, the absence of symptoms doesn't mean that your machine is fully operational. Note that we may live in totally different time zones, what may cause some delays between answers. Do not ask for help for your business PC. Companies are making revenue via computers, so it is good thing to pay someone to repair it. If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed. I can't foresee everything, so if anything unexpected happens, please stop and inform me! There are no silly questions. Never be afraid to ask if in doubt!
