I'm nasdaq and will be helping you.

If you can please print this topic it will make it easier for you to follow the instructions and complete all of the necessary steps in the order listed.

 potential PUP
Potentially Unwanted Program.

IObit programs are not recommended. Advance System Care and others are known to cause system problems and that had stolen material from other computer security companies to use in their own program.
IOBit Steals Malwarebytes’ Intellectual Property
IOBit’s Denial of Theft Unconvincing
The program has also been seen to cause numerous system problems that tend to go away after uninstalling their software.

It's your call if you want to keep it.

Umm very interesting reading re IObit. So removing all IOBit applications will help my PC?

Here are the files as requested.

Hi,

Remove this program in bold via the Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.

Please download the attached Fixlist.txt file to  the same folder where the Farbar tool is running from.
The location is listed in the 3rd line of the FRST.txt log you have submitted.

Run FRST and click Fix only once and wait.

The tool will create a log (Fixlog.txt) please post it to your reply.

If all is well, it's still your call if you want to keep the IObit programs.

Please post the log and let me know if the problem persists.

fixlist.txt

[karrstar]

It's going through the process. Will post log when complete. Out of interest what did you find?

[karrstar]

Hy

Presumably it is the Fixlog.txt as I do not have a fixlist.txt. attached.

 

Cheers so what has actually happen?

 

Fixlog.txt

[karrstar]

[karrstar]

Still not sure what problem i have apart from what i said about malware bytes and IOBit?

 

Can you elaborate on what you think you found?

[karrstar]

I checked  both fixlist.txt files:they are both the same!

What is going on?

[nasdaq]

Hi

I repeated the Fixlist.txt because it was malformed.

First line in my previous post.

This may not give you any problems but I'm fixing these restrictions and removing the NoLowDiskSpaceChecks.

If you hard drive gets filled you may not be able to run the computer unless you reformat and reinstall Windows.

Then all your programs and data will be lost.
