Dr.Web Cureit didnt find anything so no log was created.

[Maniac]

My suggestion is to re-install your Windows.

[The_Crimsonight]

I've already reinstalled Windows twice, and I can't just purge the documents and such that I have for the sake of security as that would be counter productive for me. However before we part, is it possible that java is the problem. In the past I've read from others that java is easily infected due to the nature of how it works. In all the resolutions in which java seemed to be the culprit, the definite items was never found. Do you have any thoughts on this or ways I can check java for fault?

[Maniac]

Those tools could find any java vulnerabilities, so I don't think so, but if you:

Upgrading Java :

Please download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it to its own folder

• Run JavaRa.exe, then click Remove JRE.
• Run the built-in uninstallers for all copies of java listed
• Click the Next button
• Click the Next button again
• Click the Java Manual Download link
• A browser window will open with the Java download page
• Click the Windows Offline (32-bit) or Windows Offline (64-bit) link to download Java (based on your browser type)
• Run the installer
• Close JavaRa

Thank you very much for your help.

[Maniac]

Is it worked?

[The_Crimsonight]

No, but if there's no way to fix it then I'll just deal with it.

[The_Crimsonight]

I know we've tried many different scans and nothing stopped my issue. Is there some kind of program the can track what opens different applications on my laptop? Because, if there is, all I would need to do is run that program from safe mode and the infection would be detected, theoretically.

[Maniac]

I don't know about this application. I suggest you to re-install your Windows.

[The_Crimsonight]

I re-installed windows, and the problem persists. Just thought you might want to know.

[Maniac]

Did you manage a complete format?

[The_Crimsonight]

I dont have a boot disc so I used System restore to factory settings.

[The_Crimsonight]

I ran Spyhunter 4, and it found a lot of malicious components, but to fix them I would have to buy the software. Is there anything out there that we havent tried that like it but fixes the issue for free?

[Maniac]

I do not have other ideas. Things are quite complex and deep, so all formatting is the fastest, easiest and safest solution. Find option to obtain a disk.

[The_Crimsonight]

To be sure, You want me for format all my drives then reinstall windows. I dont have a disc, but I created a USB recovery, will that work?

[Maniac]

It is good to have minimal backup (documents, photos and so on) and then to format the entire hard disc. I don't know, if is legally shoud do the trick.
