Ran scan on FREE version, 2 detected files... 'quarantine' or 'remove' ?

[louloupopz]

Hi, 

 

Im looking for advice please on whether or not to 'quarantine' or 'remove' two files which have been found during my most recent Malwarebytes scan on my FREE install. They look like junk to me BUT I'm purely making my judgement based on some of the wording on the file names because I'm definitely no expert. I'm fairly literate but I only know how to do some basic things confidently.

 

So I thought I would run my findings past you lovely guys/gals. 

 

I've not used an I.T forum before so be gentle with me.   Haha! 

 

Scan log attached. (I hope I'm doing this right?! Apologies from the newbie if not!)

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and respond to me :-D

Hello and welcome,

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.

 

Pricepeep is a browser hijacker that very often comes bundled with free software that you may have installed. I`d recommend that you remove all entries identified with Malwarebytes.

There may also be residual entries so is best to run couple of other scans....

 

Download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your Desktop.

• Double click on Adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
• Click on the Scan in the Actions box
• Please wait fot the scan to finish..
• When "Waiting for action.Please uncheck elements you want to keep" shows in top line..
• Click on the Cleaning box.
• Next click OK on the "Closing Programs" pop up box.
• Click OK on the Information box & again OK to allow the necessary reboot
• After restart the AdwCleaner(C*)-Notepad log will appear, please copy/paste it in your next reply. Where * is the number relative to list of scans completed...
  

 
Next,
 
Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts. (re-enable when done)
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8; instead of double-clicking, right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator".
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.
  

 

Next,

 

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.
  (Windows 8 users will be prompted about Windows SmartScreen protection - click More information and Run.)
• Press Scan button to run the tool....
• 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.
  

 

Post those logs to your reply...

 

Thank you,

 

Kevin...
