Program won't open-plus account locked out

[bbbad]

I tried to open the program after it automatically stopped some item/event. It won't open.  As well, when I tried to log in to the forum-it locked me out on just one try.  I was messaged that there had been 3 unsuccessful attempts to login and that's why I was locked out.  However as I stated I had only tried once.  My password is now changed.  Before I try a restart or a clean install I want to make sure these would be safe options or inquire if there is something better for me to do.  

Thanks!

Hello @bbbad

Perhaps it's just a cookie issue but we can go ahead and scan the system to ensure there is no malware

 

Please run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready.

STEP 01

• If you're already running Malwarebytes then open Malwarebytes and check for updates. Then click on the Scan tab and select Threat Scan and click on Start Scan button.
• If you don't have Malwarebytes installed yet please download it from here and install it.
• Once installed then open Malwarebytes and select Scan and let it run.
• Once the scan is completed click on the View Report button, then the Export button and save the file as a Text file to your desktop or other location you can find and attach that log on your next reply.
• If Malwarebytes won't run then please skip to the next step and let me know in your next reply.

STEP 02

Please download AdwCleaner by Malwarebytes and save the file to your Desktop.

• Right-click on the program and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
• Accept the Terms of use.
• Wait until the database is updated.
• Click Scan Now.
• When finished, please click Clean & Repair.

• 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 checkmark here.
