Hi, so I'm dealing with the same problem of the windows process manager 32 bit and access denied when i try to access folders.

How do I make/find the fixlist to use in the solution?

The folders are in C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local and are "avdirbp" and "wdeapkc"

 

Here are the files from mbar and frst:

mbar-log-2017-12-18 (01-4 6-30).txt

system-log.txt

Fixlog_18-12-2017 22.36.23.txt

FRST_18-12-2017 22.43.27.txt

Addition_18-12-2017 22.43.27.txt


Thank you in advance!!

Thanks for those logs Neonvid, keep your PC in Normal mode, continue with the following:

Download attached fixlist.txt file (end of reply) and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into. "Do not open that file when running FRST fix"
NOTE. It's important that both FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Open 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.

Next,

  • Once the cleaning process is complete, AdwCleaner will ask to restart your computer, do it
  • After the restart, a log will open when logging in. Please copy/paste the content of that log in your next reply



Next,

Thanks for those logs, we make up new Restore Point during clean up...

If your security program alerts to Delfix either, accept the alert or turn your security off.

Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator

Make Sure the following items are checked:
