Hello @adrianadder

Please go to Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features and uninstall the following.

Bonjour

 

What exactly is mDNSResponder.exe? (Bonjour)

https://www.groovypost.com/howto/howto/what-is-mdnsresponder-exe-and-why-is-it-running/

MDNSResponder, also known as Bonjour, is Apple’s native zero-configuration networking process for Mac that was ported over to Windows and associated with MDNSNSP.DLL.  On a Mac or iOS device, this program is used for networking nearly everything.  On Windows, this process is only necessary for sharing libraries via iTunes and other Mac applications like the Apple TV that were ported to Windows.  Bonjour allows different computers running iTunes to communicate with each other regardless of network configuration, this is because it enables automatic network discovery.

NEXT:

Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop or location where you ran FRST from.
NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST or FRST64, and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

Please make sure you disable any real time antivirus or security software before running this script. Once completed make sure you re-enable it.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system that cannot be undone.

Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or wherever you ran FRST from. Please attach or post it to your next reply.

Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and run the updated version.

NOTE-1:  This fix will run a scan to check that all Microsoft operating system files are valid and not corrupt and attempt to correct any invalid files. It will also run a disk check on the restart to ensure disk integrity. Depending on the speed of your computer this fix may take 30 minutes or more.

NOTE-2: As part of this fix all temporary files will be removed. If you have any open web pages that have not been bookmarked please make sure you bookmark them now as all open applications will be automatically closed. Also, make sure you know the passwords for all websites as cookies will also be removed. The use of an external password manager is highly recommended instead of using your browser to store passwords.

The following directories are emptied:

• Windows Temp
• Users Temp folders
• Edge, IE, FF, Chrome and Opera caches, HTML5 storages, Cookies and History
• Recently opened files cache
• Flash Player cache
• Java cache
• Steam HTML cache
• Explorer thumbnail and icon cache
• BITS transfer queue (qmgr*.dat files)
• Recycle Bin

Important: items are permanently deleted. They are not moved to quarantine. If you have any questions or concerns please ask before running this fix.

The system will be rebooted after the fix has run.

[adrianadder]

so now what??? i open task manager and it went from 85% to 5% issue still there!!

Fixlog.txt

[AdvancedSetup]

Let me have you run a different scanner to double-check. I don't expect it to find anything, but no harm in checking.

I would suggest a free scan with the ESET Online Scanner

Go to https://download.eset.com/com/eset/tools/online_scanner/latest/esetonlinescanner.exe

• It will start a download of "esetonlinescanner.exe"
• Save the file to your system, such as the Downloads folder, or else to the Desktop.
• Go to the saved file, and double click it to get it started. 
• When presented with the initial ESET options, click on "Computer Scan".
• Next, when prompted by Windows, allow it to start by clicking Yes 
• When prompted for scan type, Click on Full scan 
• Look at & tick  ( select )   the radio selection "Enable ESET to detect and quarantine potentially unwanted applications"   and click on Start scan button.
• Have patience.  The entire process may take an hour or more. There is an initial update download.
• There is a progress window display.
• You should ignore all prompts to get the ESET antivirus software program.   ( e.g.  their standard program).   You do not need to buy or get or install anything else.
• When the scan is completed, if something was found, it will show a screen with the number of detected items.  If so, click the button marked “View detected results”.
• Click The blue “Save scan log” to save the log.
• If something was removed and you know it is a false finding, you may click on the blue ”Restore cleaned files”  ( in blue, at bottom).
• Press Continue when all done.  You should click to off the offer for “periodic scanning”.

so after an hour of the scan this happened. what's it mean? task manager opens up and says 7 cpu now so it is fixed I GUESS but why is my memory kinda high at 26-30 range when it was around 10-15?! why is it twice now?

dfgdg.txt

[AdvancedSetup]

Let's do a couple more scans and see. Having a high CPU% for a moment though is normal and nothing to worry about. If it does not settle back down then that might be an issue.

 

Please download and run the following Kaspersky antivirus scanner to remove any found threats

Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool

Let me know if it finds anything or not, then move on to the next scanner and post back the results

 

 

The Microsoft Safety Scanner  is a free Microsoft stand-alone virus scanner that  can be used to scan for & remove malware or potentially unwanted software from a system.

The download links & the how-to-run-the tool are at this link at Microsoft

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/safety-scanner-download

Please let me know the results of this scan.

The log is named MSERT.log 

the log will be at  %SYSTEMROOT%\debug\msert.log   which in most cases is

C:\Windows\debug\msert.log

Please attach that log with your next reply.

 

 

[adrianadder]

well it isnt gone cuz it was just at 76cpu when i opened it again but ill try the two scans. but can you tell me what the logs read??

[AdvancedSetup]

The log from ESET shows what it did. It found iObit and uTorrent junk and removed them.

 

[adrianadder]

did it uninstall them or do i uninstall them 

[adrianadder]

kaspersky found 0 so i am doing the next one right now. how can i check my computers over all health and life tho?

[adrianadder]

bruh the second scans making my cpus stay at 100 WTF

[AdvancedSetup]

All is fine. It's simply using the resources of you computer to do a scan. You're not supposed to be using other programs or playing games while doing scans for malware

 

[adrianadder]

yeah i am not i just have task open and the scan going and this open for the chat and thats it. and again is utorrent and iobit uninstalled or do i need to do that???

[adrianadder]

i still see uninstaller monitor which is also iobit in the task manager STILL. i use everything search and still see iobit files and utorrent DO I DELETE ALL OF THEM AND HOW DO I UNINSTALL THEM 

SCAN DONE 4 things detected only thing showed up out of the 4 was this and says partially removed https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/threats/malware-encyclopedia-description?name=Trojan%3aWin32%2fDefenseEvasion!rfn

 

[adrianadder]

cuz it doesnt let me uninstall iobit from control panel and i dont see utorrent there? so whats good this makes zero sense on my end

[AdvancedSetup]

Please reinstall the iObit Uninstaller tool. Then once it finishes go back to Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features and uninstall it.

The same with uTorrent if you're done with it and no longer going to use it.

We could use FRST to manually delete files, folders for the programs but best to use their normal uninstallers.

 

[AdvancedSetup]

ESET only removed some files. It did not uninstall it. Please see above

 

[adrianadder]

okay i uninstalled them. STILL HIGH CPU when opening task manager. EVERYTHING SEARCH shows iobit files still and WILL NOT let me delete them. so issue is not solved still. 

[adrianadder]

task manager shows an iobit still after uninstalled so wtf? iobit public program (32bit) PubMonitor_IObitDel_1.exe is the file when i open location NO IT DOESNT DELETE 

[adrianadder]

how can i show my task manager list? 

[AdvancedSetup]

Using an elevated Admin command prompt you can copy and paste the following or type it in

TASKLIST /FO table /v > 0 && notepad 0 | ECHO >NUL  & DEL 0 

 

[AdvancedSetup]

Please post back the Task List created as well as new logs from FRST

Thanks

 

[adrianadder]

can i just take a photo of the task like how do i do that i dont get what you meant. and you want another farbar?
