That is typical of MRST. If the MRST log file shows clean (nothing found) then more than likely MSRT suspected a possible threat during the scan, displayed it as such (preliminary detection) but determined it was not an actual threat before completion and log creation... What is happening with your system, any odd or erratic behavior, same for your Browser

Yes KIS maybe will stop NPE, just leave it and run MSRT see what happens...

Maybe your security is causing the problem...?

Thanks for the update NeoFahrenheit, Run the following to clean up... Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop. Or use the following if first link is down: "Delfix link mirror" If your security program alerts to Delfix either, accept the alert or turn your security off. Double Click to start the program.

Purge System Restore <--- this will remove all previous and possibly exploited restore points, a new point relative to system status at present will be created. Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed. The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this.

Leave NPE and continue with the other steps, post logs when complete and give an update on system status, how it responds etc...

I believe the problem we have with the returning service is related to "G.exe" it would seem we are not yet able to locate that executable, hence the hidden service returns on reboot after removal with TDSSKIller. Reset your PC back to normal boot from clean boot, instructions are in the link I gave for clean boot. Continue and run the foollowing after normal boot: Scan with Autoruns Please download Sysinternals Autoruns from the following link: https://live.sysinternals.com/autoruns.exe save it to your desktop. Note: If using Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 10 then you also need to do the following: Right-click on Autoruns.exe and select Properties Click on the Compatibility tab Under Privilege Level check the box next to Run this program as an administrator Click on Apply then click OK Double-click Autoruns.exe to run it. Once it starts, please press the Esc key on your keyboard. Now that scanning is stopped, click on the Options button at the top of the program and verify that the following are checked, if they are unchecked, check them: Hide empty locations Hide Windows entries Click on the Options button at the top of the program and select Scan Options... then in the Autoruns Scan Options dialog enable/check the following two options: Verify code signatures Check VirusTotal.com Once that's done click the Rescan button at the bottom of the Autoruns Scan Options dialog and this will start the scan again, this time let it finish. When it's finished and says Ready. on the lower left of the program window, please click on the File button at the top of the program and select Save and save the file to your desktop and close Autoruns. Right click on the file on your desktop that you just saved and hover your mouse over Send To and select Compressed (zipped) Folder Attach the ZIP folder you just created to your next reply... Thank you, Kevin...
