Hey Kevin, So yeah I quarantined like 1 or 2 things, but the rest of the stuff was Microsoft office stuff. So far my computer is ok, although I've only just gotten back on it since I was finished. I will get back to you by this later today if I see any noticeable difference in performance good/bad.

Hi Kevin, So the scan finally finished. There were no threats found with Sophos. I am attaching the fix log and exported data summary below. Fixlog.txt Export Summary.txt

Hi Kevin, just got this message, so I will definitely get on this and get back to you soon. Thanks.

Hi Ron, I actually got help yesterday. I ended up having over 3,000 malware found. Thanks though.

Hey Kevin, So I did the scans and the reboots and then I downloaded and used the Malwarebytes program to make sure there was nothing left. I then reinstalled my Norton and everything looks to be A-ok so far. Thanks so much for your help man...SINCERELY appreciate it!! I'll definitely repost if anything pops up in the next week...or anytime really. Thanks again! FRST.txt Addition.txt

The scan just finished...3656 malware items found. Moving on to the next step in the instructions...

Okay, so it's been running for about 35 minutes. It's still scanning I think, and has found about 872 malware files. However, it has been stuck on the same file now for about 10min or so. Should I be concerned or is that just the scanning process?

Hi Kevin, thanks for your reply....working on the instructions now...so far so good. I'll get back to you soon!

Hey there....I replied in a thread that was already started, however I'm not sure when I might get a response there so I am posting myself. **FYI: I'm using my laptop as my desktop (which I use for work and basically everything) is the one infected.** So my situation is that I don't download things very often, but I did so yesterday and BAM! My computer is screwed. Stupidly I let my Norton 360 expire before renewing it recently and I have been meaning to renew it for the last couple weeks, but just haven't gotten around to it. I'm usually pretty careful about checking things out first and making sure they're good etc., before downloading. I was in such a hurry though that I didn't look to see there were no comment on this torrent. After I installed the so called 'program' with all the trojans, malware and viruses one might be led to think my computer was a freakin petri dish. I realized VERY quickly that something was a amiss unplugged my Ethernet cord, and I'm not a total noob I immediately set out to fix the problem. I tired to run Norton, but I couldn't find it anywhere on my computer except in the 'Control Panel > Programs' area. I went into my computer to find it - 'C: > Program Files (x86) > Norton 360 Premier Edition' but couldn't find the actual application. After deciding not to touch that stuff, I uninstalled, and then reinstalled Norton - or so I thought. The install process went fine and it auto-started up. Then it extracted the virus scanner - after which it downloaded the latest virus definitions. Then it a very brief scan and said there was an error. After 'Compressing Error Files'. It finally told me 'Installation Failed: A common reason for installation failure is an infected computer.' **Side Note: No stuff my computer is infected, which is why I want to install a virus remover stupid Norton! Anyway, it told me to get Norton Power Eraser, so I downloaded it straight from their website and clicked install. It didn't do anything. So I clicked the file again to get it to open and it said 'C:\Users\Yonaton\Downloads\NPE.exe - The requested resource is in use.' Even thought it was obviously NOT in use. After that didn't work, I went to a Malwarebytes pages and tried to download the program 'mb3-setup-consumer-3.0.6.1469-10103' However, after attempting to install it, it closed saying that 'C:\Users\Yonaton\Downloads\mb3-setup-consumer-3.0.6.1469-10103.exe - The requested resource is in use.' I kept getting that same message for other programs that I tired to use to delete the damned thing. NOTHING! After that I did a Disk Cleanup in the hopes it would find most of the extra crap and delete it, although that was probably to much to ask for. I searched for a few minutes and came across a thread here on Malwarebytes and decided to follow the beginning directions. I did as was directed, but ran into the same issue as I had before. I downloaded all three of the suggested programs - Junkware, AdwCleaner and the Sophos - and all three came back with the same message as before 'The requested resource is in use.' I downloaded FRST and did the scans....so I'm attaching the .txt files for review. At this point I am at a loss as I can't figure out what else to do or try without help, so please HELP!!! Thanks so much. FRST.txt Addition.txt

Hey there....so can I can get some help on this PLEASE?!?!?! It similar if not exactly the same thing that bobbysaggers was having issue with. **FYI: I'm using my laptop as my desktop (which I use for work and basically everything) is the one infected.** So my situation is that I don't download things very often, but I did so yesterday and BAM!
