I do not see any obvious malware/infection in the logs you post, continue please:Can you open Malwarebytes, select "History" > "Application logs" > find the relevent "Scan log" and post to your reply..Next,Download attached fixlist.txt file (end of reply) 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. Post those logs, Does the issue still happen, can you post a screen shot... Thank you, KevinFixlist.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz003 Posted November 7, 2015 Author ID:1000451 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Hi Kevin, thanks for your help.When I tried sfc /scannow I don't believe it found any problems.I have attached the files you requested and a picture of the error (which popped up 4 times as Malwarebytes was starting). The issue still occurs after the FRST scan. I have attached a photo for you.Fixlog.txtmbam scan log.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazz003 Posted November 7, 2015 Author ID:1000513 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Ok, performed the clean install of Malwarebytes. Let it update and then ran a scan. 0 items detected. Pop up problem still exists. It pops up multiple times as I start pretty much any exe program file (ie I started Adobe Reader just to check and this popup occurred 4 times as it started up and 3 times as I closed it).

Jazz003 Posted November 8, 2015 Author ID:1000545 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Ran the FixWin10 option (as administrator) but got the following results: Deployment Image Servicing and Management toolVersion: 10.0.10240.16384Image Version: 10.0.10240.16384[=========== 20.0% ]Error: 1726The remote procedure call failed.The DISM log file can be found at C:\WINDOWS\Logs\DISM\dism.logC:\Users\User1\Desktop\FixWin10\FixWin 10> I have attached the dism log Jazzdism.log Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted November 8, 2015 ID:1000606 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Select the windows key and the R key together, type or copy/paste services.msc into the run box, tap enter.In the services window scroll to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Ensure that its startup type is "Automatic", and that the service is started. If not, press the Start button.Below that you will see the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locater service, make sure the startup type is "manual" please also start that service...Reboot your system, try the Windows 10 fix once more....

Jazz003 Posted November 9, 2015 Author ID:1000670 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Looked into the Services. All I had to do was Start the RPC Locator. I restarted the PC but before running the FixWin10 I checked to see if anything had changed in the Services. Both were as they were when I checked them initially so I started the RPC Locator again before running the FixWin10. Got the same error page as what I posted yesterday (no change).

kevinf80 Posted November 9, 2015 ID:1000687 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I do not believe this issue is malware/infection related, probably whatever your clean up procedure was has altered or corrupt registry settings. Can you recall what the clean up procedure included? Use System Restore and go back to a RP prior to the clean up procedure, use the following link for instructions if needed... http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4588-system-restore-windows-10-a.html Let me know if that helps, if so can you also tell me what was done to clean up your system...

Jazz003 Posted November 9, 2015 Author ID:1000691 Share Posted November 9, 2015 The computer had quite a few Spyware on it prior to upgrading to Win10 (originally a Win7 machine). After the upgrade (performed by someone else, which it wasn't ready for as it needed to be cleaned) it was struggling quite a bit.Cleans performed:-manually uninstalled bloatware-Superantispyware-ADWCleaner-Malwarebytes-sfc /scannow-Eset online scanner-Disk Cleanup-Microsoft updates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted November 9, 2015 ID:1000693 Share Posted November 9, 2015 That list looks like a standard procedure, do not see anything likely to cause the issue at hand.... can you try system restore to a point prior to that if possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz003 Posted November 9, 2015 Author ID:1000694 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I would have tried it but it's not possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted November 9, 2015 ID:1000697 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thanks for the reply, the best way forward is to back up anything of importance then run refresh, see if that helps.. Run "Option Two" from the following link: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4090-refresh-windows-10-a.html Any improvement? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz003 Posted November 9, 2015 Author ID:1000844 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Hmm, seeing as all the apps will have to be installed this is a big step to a lot of work. But like you say, this looks to be my only option. I'll see if the hassle of these popups outweigh going through a Refresh, and if so, then I'll prepare for the onslaught! Thanks for all your help with this. Jazz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinf80 Posted November 10, 2015 ID:1000905 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I really cannot see any other way forward for you, refresh is the best option. Let me know how you progress.... Thank you, Kevin... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
