To whomever is able to assist me:

Thank you in advance for your help. I have attached my Farbar Scans below.

TwinHeadedEagle · October 12, 2015

Hello,

They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll try to help your with your issue.

Before we start please read and note the following:

We're primarily oriented on malware removal here, so you must know that some issues just cannot be solved and you must be prepared for this. Some tools we use here will remove your browser search history, so backup your important links and all the files whose loss is unacceptable.
Note that we may live in totally different time zones, what may cause some delays between answers.
Don't run any scripts or tools on your own, unsupervised usage may cause more harm than good.
Do not paste the logs in your posts, attachments make my work easier. There is a More reply options button, that gives you Upload Files option below which you can use to attach your reports. Always attach reports from all tools.
Always execute my instructions in given order. If for some reason you cannot completely follow one instruction, inform me about that.
If I don't hear from you within 3 days from this initial or any subsequent post, then this thread will be closed.

I can't foresee everything, so if anything not covered in my instructions happens, please stop and inform me!

There are no silly questions. Never be afraid to ask if in doubt!

Rules and policies

We won't support any piracy.

That being told, if any evidence of illegal OS, software, cracks/keygens or any other will be revealed, any further assistance will be suspended. If you are aware that there is this kind of stuff on your machine, remove it before proceeding!

The same applies to any use of P2P software: uTorrent, BitTorrent, Vuze, Kazaa, Ares... We don't provide any help for P2P, except for their removal. All P2P software has to be uninstalled or at least fully disabled before proceeding!

Failure to follow these guidelines will result with closing your topic and withdrawning any assistance.

Please attach FRST reports.

I looked at your logs, and on first look, I don't see sings of malware. What makes you think you're infected?

mccubed27388 · October 13, 2015

My computer will freeze for about seconds at a time several times a day for no apparent reason

Some single player games/programs will freeze and unfreeze with the computer, while something like a youtube video will not freeze with the computer and play in the background (no sound/appears frozen), so when the computer unfreezes i'll have missed some of the video and half to rewind it.

TwinHeadedEagle · October 13, 2015

Hm, let's try this:

Check Disk

Press the + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type cmd and click OK.
Copy/Enter the command below and press Enter:
```
chkdsk C: /r
```
You should get a message to schedule Check Disk at next system restart. Please type Y and press Enter.
All you should do now is to restart your PC and let the Check Disk process finish uninterrupted.

Check Disk report:

Press the + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type eventvwr and click OK.
In the left panel, expand Windows Logs and then click on Application.
Now, on the right side, click on Filter Current Log.
Under Event Sources, check only Wininit and click OK.
Now you'll be presented with one or multiple Wininit logs.
Click on an entry corresponding to the date and time of the disk check.
On the top main menu, click Action > Copy > Copy Details as Text.
Paste the contents into your next reply.

Very good. How is the situation now?

mccubed27388 · October 16, 2015

It still freezes the same way it did before, randomly and for a few seconds at a time

Press Scan button and wait.
The tool will produce two logfiles on your desktop: FRST.txt and Addition.txt.

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
(XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
Press the Fix button just once and wait.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please upload it to your reply.

TwinHeadedEagle · October 20, 2015

Your PC seems clean.

mccubed27388 · October 21, 2015

Ok, thank you. It also looks like the farbar fix cleared up abotu 11 GB from my C: drive which is nice.

So far it looks good but I will update in 1-2 days if the freezing stopped or not

Thank you
