[Malwarebytes not responding and can't run MSRT]

These issues coincided with me getting enough parts to replace my computer. As a result, I used Linux USB to move the files I wanted off my Windows drive onto another, formed the thing Windows hard drive, and installed Windows 11 instead.

I haven't seen any issues, and before running anything off my other hard drives, I scanned them all with Windows Denfer after the first W11 boot, then installed Malwarebytes and got that to scan them all as well. So, I think I'm in the clear!

Funnily enough, I missed a couple of.txt files I wanted on the now formatted Windows drive; when using some recovery software to try and fish them out, some crypto miner files came up. I thus gave up on getting them back and am now just happy I have a working computer again.

Thanks for the help!

Some additional information since running the fixlist.

After booting in normal mode, the computer runs extremely slowly; Notepad, anything anti-virus related, and some other programs will almost immediately enter non-responding status when opened.

Malwarebytes seems to be killed, I could run it in safe mode before, but now it won't open at all.

Finally, I tried having a look at when my most recent restore point was using 

But I don't have any restore points. I assume the virus/malware deleted them because after this happened last time I made sure I had them scheduled and turned on.

I was able to run in normal mode, but I couldn't run with admin settings, If I took to long to open FRST it would get suspended/not-responding.

Problems still persist after the fix. Log attached.

Thanks for the help so far :)

[Malwarebytes not responding and can't run MSRT]

On startup, Malwarebytes is crashing, and I can't run the Windows malicious software removal tool (MSRT). So, I'm guessing I got something.

I can boot into safe mode with networking with no apparent issues. In safe mode, I have run a Malwarebytes scan (no issues found, logs attached) and FRST (logs attached).

wow what a scan. Anyway that's done, the only thing's it found where some steam game exe's which I cache  verified and I would say are false positive (Malware.Heuristic.1003)

and a hello world exe that I made.

 

CLEAN!

Currently running a MB-premium Custom scan of everything (rootkits and optional scan settings turned on)

Everything seems to be working normally!

I have update or deleted those various programs.

when I try and delete NPE it says the item is no longer located there. I believe its Norton power eraser which I was  trying yesterday.

I have deleted those push notification permissions and turned of all push notifications.

Here is the SecurityCheck report:

Restore point made! Here are the logs

I just realised the restore point brought back java, discord, and ccleaner. So they are now also deleted.

[Hard to remove malware]

Okay wow a restore point. Thing's seem to be much better in normal mode after the restore point (I'm not doing too much cause I don't want it to suddenly explode).

But MB and anything else to do with security can now run without being suspended & killed.

I was able to run FRST in normal mode with the old fixlist you made me successfully. Hopefully thing's are better, although I would love to know wtf caused this incase the infected file is still around.

Tried some other scanners and stuff. None of that work either.

Here are the newest logs.     FRST.txtAddition.txtmbst-grab-results.zip

All problems persist in a normal boot

Malwarebytes also wanted to update after frst finished the reboot (hopefully a good sign). So I have done this.

[Hard to remove malware]

Thankyou heaps for the help.

I managed to delete the requested items by starting windows in Selective start-up.

I was not able to run FRST without being in safemode with network. Hopefully that does not hamper its performance.

Malwarebytes is crashing on start-up, and so do a lot of other things like msconfig, edge, pfds with more than one page (wtf)

I managed to be faster then the malware and use mcsonfig in the first seconds of startup to get into safemode with networking, which seems to be stable.

I have since downloaded and used, windows malware tool, mbar, adwcleaner, and normal malwarebytes to get rid of this thing.

Even in safemode malwarebytes real-time protection tools won't turn on. 

This thing is a massive pain.
