Laptop is broken after malware removal


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am new to this forum although I used the advice I found on it sometimes before. But this time I did have trouble and couldn't resolve it with the tutorials I found. I used Malwarebytes to remove some malware that was on my laptop, but after the removal the laptop stopped working. I could login but after that I got a black screen with a cursur, I could start taskmanager using CTRL+SHFT+ESC, and start some programs but the black screen stayed. System restore did not solve the problem. I searched and found advice to use FRST. I did use it but now I don't know what to put in the fix file. I added the Addition and FRST files to this message, can someone help me with getting a fixfile? Sorry for the dutch words in the files, but I couldn't manage to get the files in english.

Additional information: I use windows 8.1

 

With kind regards

Jonathan

Hello @Jonathanw and :welcome:

 

Please restart the computer first and then run the following steps and post back the logs when ready.

STEP 01
Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

  • Shutdown your antivirus to avoid any conflicts.
  • Right click over JRT.exe and select Run as administrator on Windows Vista or Windows 7, double-click on XP.
  • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
  • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete.
  • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
  • Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next reply message
  • When completed make sure to re-enable your antivirus

STEP 02

  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens, click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press the Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  • The first time the tool is run, it also makes another log (Addition.txt). If you've, run the tool before you need to place a check mark here.
