P2P/Piracy Warning:

 

 

   

If you're using Peer 2 Peer software such as uTorrent, BitTorrent or similar you must either fully uninstall them or completely disable them from running while being assisted here.

Failure to remove or disable such software will result in your topic being closed and no further assistance being provided.

If you have illegal/cracked software, cracks, keygens etc. on the system, please remove or uninstall them now and read the policy on Piracy.

 

 

 

Do you have W8.1 installed, if so DDS is not compatible. Run the following...

 

Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

 

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system (32 bit or 64 bit). If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

 

  •  

     

  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.

     

     

  • Press Scan button.

     

     

  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.

     

     

  • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into.

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

 

Run FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait.

The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or the folder it was ran from. Please post it to your reply.

 

Next,

 

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to your desktop.


Double-click mbam-setup-2.0.0.1000.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to the following:

Or, on the Dashboard, click the Scan Now >> button.

When the scan is complete, if there have been detections, click Apply Actions to allow MBAM to clean what was detected.
In most cases, a restart will be required.
Wait for the prompt to restart the computer to appear, then click on Yes.

 

How to get logs:

See if the following makes a difference with MB installation;

 

Please download RKill from here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/

 

There are three buttons to choose from with different names on, select the first one and save it to your desktop.

 

  • Double-click on the Rkill desktop icon to run the tool.
  • If using Vista or Windows 7, right-click on it and Run As Administrator.
  • A black DOS box will briefly flash and then disappear. This is normal and indicates the tool ran successfully.
  • A log pops up at the end of the run. This log file is located at C:\rkill.log. Please post this in your next reply.
  • If you do not see the black box flash on the screen delete the icon from the desktop and go back to the link for the download, select the next button and try to run the tool again, continue to repeat this process using the remaining buttons until the tool runs. You will find further links if you scroll down the page with other names, try them one at a time.
  • If the tool does not run from any of the links provided, please let me know.

Again this had previously been run and the report pasted here.

 

You have mentioned that quote a couple of times, when/where were the tools run before before? you say "here" but where... If there has been a similar set of instructions run previously can you please post the link to that thread, I really need to see what has been done previously....

 

Go back to reply #9, follow the instructions for ESET online scan, post that log...

Running RKill and RogueKiller appear only once in this thread, that is in a reply made by me, you say they appear further up the thread, I definitely do not see a previous request or see any previous logs?

 

Continue as follows please:

Unzip the contents into a newly created folder on your desktop.

 

Open the folder, run the tool by right click on Repair_Windows (icon with red briefcase) select "Run as Administrator"

Run the following:

 

Download Services Repair tool, available here - http://kb.eset.com/library/ESET/KB%20Team%20Only/Malware/ServicesRepair.exe and Save it to your Desktop. Right click on it and select Run As Administrator, follow the prompts. It should reboot when it finishes. If not reboot it yourself.

 

Next,

 

Run the system filer checker, this will find and repair any corrupt system files. Reboot when done. Instructions here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

 

Try malwarebytes when done. If still no change check to installed programs list via Programs and Features, is Malwarebytes listed?

 

Thanks,

All done and still cant install malwarebytes . <bytes not listed in programs and features but then most installed programs aren't listed. They disappeared when all this started though they still work if I have a shortcut for them, they aren't in start menu either. All programs except those beginning with Mi to Mo vanished. Anything I installed after they disappeared is showing there.
