  1. Okay, this is kind of crazy... I did create a new user profile and that did seem to fix the issues. I was going to copy over my files from the corrupt user profile but... it doesn't exist? I have no folder for this user account in the Users folder, but the two new user accounts I created are there, and I have no trouble logging into the account, obviously. Further, I double checked and the account is definitely set as a local account and not a Microsoft account. How is that even possible? I do have a folder in Users called Default.migrated but there's essentially nothing in it. I also have a Public folder, but there are no personal files there. Help?
  2. Okay, I ran TFC and it cleared up 803mb but I still can't use the bottom corner of my desktop.
  3. Okay, done. Please see the logs attached. Event Viewer Log 02-24-17.txt
  4. I did follow your instructions and attempted to fix Windows Search, but the utility said it couldn't find any problems with search. I haven't noticed any sort of performance issue with search, and as far as I can tell it does function as expected. I do seem to have other issues, however, such as Malwarebytes starting with exploit protection switched off. I still have dead space at the bottom left of my desktop that I can't move icons or anything into, and I do still periodically have Windows Explorer crashes and hangs, but that could just be because Windows is a terrible, terrible product.
  5. Sorry for the delayed response, my cold medicine knocked me out last night! I followed your instructions and then ran FRST again, and these were the results. FRST.txt Addition.txt
  6. Okay done, thanks very much for all your help Ron. I notice in the logs that my default search in Chrome is changed and there are a lot of fake extensions in Opera and Chrome. Neither the extensions nor the new fake default search page are actually showing in either browser. Sophos scanned clean. Addition - 2-21-17.txt FRST - 2-21-17.txt JRT - 2-21-17.txt
  7. Thanks so much for your response, Ron. I did run FRST again as instructed, please see the txt file below. Fixlog.txt
  8. I am pretty positive I have a rootkit. It's a quiet and crafty sort; from the beginning there were no obvious signs of infection, there wasn't any slowing or memory leaking, no unusual traffic noted. I felt like something was off, but I couldn't pinpoint what until I got the first warning message from MBAM 3.0.6 Premium (see Exploit Blocking below). Now I notice that all my desktop icons are rearranged on relog and suddenly there is a bit of dead space at the bottom where I can no longer move any icons, though that's kind of the least of my worries. Sometimes the screen sort of freezes, almost like a screenshot, but then it clears up again right away. I'm running Windows 10 Home Premium, x64, on an Asus X756UXM. Please see all the notes below and txt files. Please note that things might be a little out of order from how I actually scanned things, because this started almost a week ago and I don't remember that far back. I believe the initial infection came from a popup/pop under (can't recall which, sorry!) at http:// www (dot) nowvideo (dot) sx/video/11bb079eff255 while using Chrome. I run AdBlock Plus, Ghostery, and some script blocker thingie, and have all my many browsers configured to block popups, and I never have any issues on any other sites, but this one managed to get around all that. I threw everything I could think of at this but I really just feel like I'm chasing it from one corner to another. Any help would be thoroughly appreciated.

  9. Thanks very much for the feedback, MBMemes. I did try running Chameleon from Safe Mode, as you suggested. I didn't save 13 logfiles, but I did copy one. Suffice it to say they all failed identically. I will make a note to check out uBlock also. I probably should have mentioned in my initial post that I'm running Windows 10 x64. My default browser right now is Chrome, but I also use Opera, Firefox and Tor. If there are any other ideas I'm all ears!
  10. Okay, I think this is probably my first post on the forums, so I apologize for being a noob and doing whatever annoying things noobs do before they get a clue. That said, I am pretty positive I have a rootkit. It's a quiet and crafty sort; from the beginning there were no obvious signs of infection, there wasn't any slowing or memory leaking, no unusual traffic noted. I felt like something was off, but I couldn't pinpoint what until I got the first warning message from MBAM (see Exploit Blocking below). Now I notice that all my desktop icons are rearranged and suddenly there is a bit of dead space at the bottom where I can no longer move any icons, though that's kind of the least of my worries.

  11. I don't think the disabling of Malwarebytes was accidental... I had trouble a couple weeks ago installing the anniversary update so I tried again today, and this was successful, but I noticed that Malwarbytes Anti-Malware (but not Anti-Exploit) was disabled upon first load of the anniversary update. Further, I found that Windows Defender had set itself running and as default and really did not want to go back down. I still don't see any listing for MB-AM in the startup apps, though it did apparently launch okay on this restart. *grumbles to herself in an insane fashion about M$ sucking audibly*
