Thanks for all your help Advanced, I mean it. Have a good day.

Hi Advanced, Two things have popped up since last post. Both have happened before however not for a long time and both went away when I received help from Bleeping Computer. When I go to shut down it will warn me the an (unidentified) app is preventing me from shutting down. Sometimes with other apps I have open and sometimes stand alone. The other thing is on start up, I am getting the recycle bin is corrupt and a question as to if I want to delete it. Also I am not crashing often and this last week couple blue screens. I don't game, torrent or porn. This is for work. I would assume I am on some government lists but that's the world we live in. Anything will help and thanks in advance.

Sorry for the delay. I can't get the M-Flash to acknowledge the SD card after I download and extract the firmware update. I have noticed that the CPU gets hot at night more so than the day. I know enough to know something isn't right however not enough to find and eradicate it. Please advise. Thanks

Thanks for staying with this... ANONYMOUS-FAST.zip ANONYMOUS-FAST.zip

Hey Advance, Malwarebytes antirootkit came back clean however CPU went ballistic and not scanner running increased load. I didn't see a report however I was guessing where to find it. Please advise and thanks man!

I apologize for the delay. The link goes to Sophos- ScanAndClean. I found an old download of VirusRemovalTool and it updated. See Attached. I guess it could be a hardware thing at this point however I do not believe so. It's water cooled and I just cleaned and applied new thermal grease the correct way. The other thing is the fluctuation doesn't happen when I put a heavy load on the CPU. Also, it will kick up every time I start poking it. Please advise. SophosVirusRemovalTool.log

Anything here? It starts when I did the clean install and ends right before I ran the Micro Safety Scanner. I have been noticing Brothers software (New printer I got a year ago) having double apps and files and a lot of them hidden. The very end where this file says "DESTROYPRIVATEDATA" concerns me for reasons not for this forum. Please advise. wiatrace.log

My bad. I will follow all the directions next time. Sorry. How does it show 201 infected however all clear at the end? See attached Thanks msert.log

Hi AS, I did what you said and left my comp alone to scan. Woke up this morning and it was still going however it was frozen here (see attached screenshot). Again after taking ScrSht I walked away and one hour later it said nothing found and gave no indication of a report anywhere to be had. Please advise. I have run the same scanner before and would get like 6 or 8 infected files also with the end summery saying nothing found and all was clear. 201 hits and all clear at the end... doesn't seem correct. The file it was stuck on, I erased the E:\VC file at that location after I took ownership of the file and all child files. Thanks my man for your help with this!

Hey AdvancedSetup, As you requested. 20220404_SecurityCheck.txt Maybe unrelated however when I did the last update I lost sound to my external speaker system. Its not a hardware problem as the audio system checked out when I tested it. Also when I did a clean install on 20220222, I believe, there are a couple apps that start halfway below my middle monitor screen. I have three and they are all set to the correct resolution. This has not happened before. Also this @firewall... any concern there? It wont let me remove the access for it on both private and public. When I remove them from either private or public, it will write another line of the app and grant itself access through the one I just removed. Thanks for your help man!

Hi AdvancedSetup, Here is the fixlog. Thanks!Fixlog.txt

Just like the title says, CPU hits 100°C (water cooled), firewall turns itself off, strange apps self-allowing through firewall. I woke up to the comp crashed and audio didn't work. Did a restore, first time failed second time went as far back as I could and success however still no audio. Not a hardware issue, checked and confirmed. I searched for @FirewallAPI.dll,-80201 and @FirewallAPI.dll,-80206 which landed me here. The other post had original poster search through FRST.txt without luck. I noticed when at (Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Defender Firewall\Allowed apps) when I clicked the properties detail of @FirewallAPI.dll,-80201 has a description of @FirewallAPI.dll,-80202. Notice the switch of the last number. @FirewallAPI.dll,-80206 also has description one number off, @FirewallAPI.dll,-80205. To foil any searches? (see attached screenshot) Questions, just ask. I have been hunting this ***** for a week now. I will wait for your instructions. I am attaching what was asked and some screenshots from the last week. Thank you in advance.
