    Hello quentnn and welcome to Malwarebytes,
    There are no signs of Malware or infection in FRST logs, there are remnants of previously installed programs that need to go. Also a general clean up..
    Run the following:
    Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop or location where you ran FRST from.

    NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST or FRSTEnglish, and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

    NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system that cannot be undone.

    Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
    If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
    The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or wherever you ran FRST from. Please attach or post it to your next reply.

    Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and run the updated version.

    NOTE-1: As part of this fix all temporary files will be removed. If you have any open web pages that have not been bookmarked please make sure you bookmark them now as all open applications will be automatically closed. Also, make sure you know the passwords for all websites as cookies will also be removed.

    The following directories are emptied:
      Windows Temp Users Temp folders Edge, IE, FF, Chrome and Opera caches, HTML5 storages, Cookies and History Recently opened files cache Flash Player cache Java cache Steam HTML cache Explorer thumbnail and icon cache BITS transfer queue (qmgr*.dat files) Recycle Bin

    Important: items are permanently deleted. They are not moved to quarantine. If you have any questions or concerns please ask before running this fix.



    The system will be rebooted after the fix has run.

    Next,

    Download "Microsoft's Safety Scanner" and save direct to the desktop

    Ensure to get the correct version for your system....

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/safety-scanner-download


    Right click on the Tool, select Run as Administrator the tool will expand to the options Window
    In the "Scan Type" window, select Quick Scan
    Perform a scan and Click Finish when the scan is done.


    Retrieve the MSRT log as follows, and post it in your next reply:

    1) Select the Windows key and R key together to open the "Run" function
    2) Type or Copy/Paste the following command to the "Run Line" and Press Enter:

    notepad c:\windows\debug\msert.log

    The log will include log details for each time MSRT has run, we only need the most recent log by date and time....
    Let me see those logs in your reply...

  5. kevinf80's post in Windows wouldn't boot after scanning was marked as the answer   
    Boot up your spare PC, in the search function type or copy/paste recovery drive, hit enter. In the new window make sure to untick "back up system files to recovery drive" (This PC is a different version so system files are no good.) When that is unticked click next.
    The recovery drive will be created, you will be prompted to plug in your USB flashdrive, it will say 1GB. I ask for 8 incase we need to add other stuff later.... The USB will be formatted before the recovery drive is loaded.... Let me know when that completes...

    Hiya sande005,
    Your issue is trying to connect with website hxxp://modelairplanenews.com/ with your Browser, that is an outbound call, Malwarebytes alerts to that website and blocks the outbound call.
    If you are allowed to make connection with that website, information then flows both ways. Your connection is outbound, the website back to you is inbound. If the website is exploited and therefore malicious your Security will flag that website either way..
    The Trojan explanation is used because what appears to be normal acceptable data travelling back to you maybe loaded with hidden malicious extras, as in Trojan Horse...
    If you know and trust that website you could seek help at the false positive section.. https://forums.malwarebytes.com/forum/123-website-blocking/
    Does that help...?
    Thank you,

    https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/104.236.72.182/detection
    I also run it through Clean Talk, no problems from that checker..
    https://cleantalk.org/blacklists/104.236.72.182
    The IP is listed to Digital Ocean LLC, if you give a quick google check you have to ask the question,"Why are these guys trying to connect to my PC" I cannot give you that answer.
    https://www.digitalocean.com/
    Personally I would not use that software, if it gets flagged trying to connect to an inbound call you have to be very cautious. Maybe check in with Anydesk website, see if they can give an answer....

    Hiya 99maskvpnproblems,
    Thanks for those logs, continue:
    Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop or location where you ran FRST from.

    NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST or FRSTEnglish, and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

    NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system that cannot be undone.

    Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
    If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
    The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or wherever you ran FRST from. Please attach or post it to your next reply.

    Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and run the updated version.

    NOTE-1: As part of this fix all temporary files will be removed. If you have any open web pages that have not been bookmarked please make sure you bookmark them now as all open applications will be automatically closed. Also, make sure you know the passwords for all websites as cookies will also be removed.
