Ok, I went into the command prompt and after typing in the command I had the message "This type of file system is NTSF. Cannot lock current drive. Windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected." I remember you mentioning something earlier about it being locked and to input y to let it run anyways, however this just returned a line saying it wasn't an internal/external command that could be recognized.

I have never done that before. Looking at the steps in the first link taking me to create a system repair disk, will doing that put me into the Recovery Console needed for the post in the second link? I got this laptop through college some years back now and don't remember it ever coming with installation discs.

Alright, so I ran the fixlist and it went up through the restart, however I never saw anything with disk check. After signing in following the restart a cmd window appeared instead of going to my desktop, but that was up for maybe 15 seconds or so. Either it was significantly faster than I was expecting or it never ran at all? Fixlog.txt

I'm heading to bed in about 30 minutes so thank you for the heads up about the length on the chkdisk. I'm off tomorrow so I'll be available all day, I can run it tomorrow morning. As for the iTunes, yeah, I haven't really used it in years which is why it's so dated. Could having that potentially cause any problems or was it just a notification of being outdated?

I am not using Google Sync, not sure if there's anything for me to do there as I'm not logged into any account to disconnect from? I also ran the cleanup tool and it said there were no programs found. I'm unfamiliar with what goloader is as well. With the checkdisk, where would I type that into? I've never done anything with that before and I'm not familiar with it.

Sorry about the wait, I left for work about 10 minutes after your reply. I've gone through and done all the steps, only thing was with AdwCleaner it generated a log immediately on completion as well as the one after the reboot. You only mentioned the post reboot one, but I've attached both just in case. AdwCleaner[S0] was immediately after the scan and AdwCleaner[C0] was after the reboot.

Microsoft Security Essentials flagged this earlier tonight with its real time protection and I removed it immediately. After reading about it a little a few posts on here stated that it would keep coming back after a system restart, so after running a scan with MSE I restarted and ran another quick scan with MSE and a threat scan with Malwarebytes. None of the scans found any signs of infection, however this one seems fairly nasty and I'd really like to make certain it's gone if possible. I have done nothing since the notification of it being caught apart from running scans, and now making this post. I did notice that rootkit scan was turned off with Mbytes after it was finished, is this something I need to turn on and rescan with? I know it's impossible to give any exact answer, but how much longer would this scan take if the original threat scan was roughly 20 minutes? Thanks MBytesTextReport.txt Addition.txt FRST.txt
