ffsee and no thumbnails?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Please bear with me as I am an old fool and have no idea what I'm doing.

 

I think I have the ffsee.com virus thing.  Malwarebytes sent me several "blocked malicious website" messages, but after I ran it plus Norton, it did it once more and hasn't since.  I'd like to be sure.

 

Also, and I don't know if it's related, but after I ran my scans, I noticed that the thumbnails for many of my pictures (mostly gifs) and almost ALL of my videos were not appearing as they had previously.  I reset my thumbnail views as per Microsoft instructions, but that didn't help.

 

I did see the instructions about running FRST, so I've done that below.  (I hope.)
