[kevinf80]

Hiya indio68, Thanks for those logs, continue: 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. 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 Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and run the updated version.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 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. Next, Download "Microsoft's Safety Scanner" and save direct to the desktop Ensure to get the correct version for your system.... https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/intelligence/safety-scanner-download Right click on the Tool, select Run as Administrator the tool will expand to the options Window In the "Scan Type" window, select Quick Scan Perform a scan and Click Finish when the scan is done. Retrieve the MSRT log as follows, and post it in your next reply: 1) Select the Windows key and R key together to open the "Run" function 2) Type or Copy/Paste the following command to the "Run Line" and Press Enter: notepad c:\windows\debug\msert.log The log will include log details for each time MSRT has run, we only need the most recent log by date and time.... Let me see those logs in your reply, also tell me if the hosts file issue has cleared... Thank you, Kevin...

[kevinf80]

Any progress..?

[indio68]

hi, i didn't do all this stuff again..wanna ask something first.. all this only for the Hijack files found? i forgot to tell you that in the past i downloaded some fix for get rid of windows telemetry and other unwanted stuff of win 10...maybe something in the host file was done don't remember well now..i want understand first what all this work is for..you foun something dangeorous on the logs? i'm warrine dbecause advanced cleaner found 2 files that aren't virus but game failes..thanks

[indio68]

p.s all those .ru file in the Host are normal? i had kaspersky long time ago isntalled on this pc..BUT was long time ago, i went with Avira and now with Defender security and malwarebytes for long now. thanks

[indio68]

damn i dont find any Edit function....i want let you know that my  old Raid 0HD have some problems (i can't downlaod big files on partition D cuz it gives me bsod..i say this because i've read that the fix will do a scandisk and checkdisk...i've done already and all MS files were ok, but sacandisk was a pain to do. i know i must buy new disk, but i'm unemployed and it's not that easy...for me right now. thanks

[kevinf80]

Hello indio68,

I do not believe the entries in the Hosts file are normal, all entries are being blocked from calling home, did you amend the hosts file yourself..? If you do not want to go any further just let me know...

Thanks,

Kevin..

[indio68]

i d0ont recall very well, but as i said i maybe changed the hostfile for not letting MS telemetry send stuff..just that..and long tim ago. so if u think there is something wrong i will fix, just asking if i can skip the scan disk cuz it can lead to a bsod..

[kevinf80]

There is no command scan disk, only system files. To disable Telemetry do the following:

Open the search function, type or copy/paste

• type or copy/paste  gpedit hit enter key
• in new window go to "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds".
• Double-click "Allow Telemetry".
• Select "Disabled", then click "Apply" then "OK".

Can you post the logs from previous instructions....

[indio68]

ok, i will do..it's normal that i can't open mega.nz,cnet.com and other legit sites with edge or is something that the damn Hijack file causing..i always used firefox, but after the passage to previous windows 10 version  i had problem so i used edge..but too many of these issue conencting to some sites..all the other working (steam-.steamgift, humblebundle,uplay,)ecc., thanks

[kevinf80]

Hiya indio68,

Thanks for the update, post the produced logs whenever you`re ready.

Thanks,

Kevin...

 

[indio68]

Thanks Kevin for your time, here  are the log requested.

Wanna ask this: is possible to have a default Host file? it's normal that Edge won't let me open some site, expecially if are download link..?? i never had these issues with FF..but Edge seems much reactive and less eating memory than last FF releases,but if have these problem i must return back to FF.. thanks Kevin

msert.log Fixlog.txt

[kevinf80]

I only use FF, never used Internet Explorer, Chrome or Edge. Regarding the hosts file, yours has default setting now, which sites will not open with Edge..?

[indio68]

well it doesnt open the one where download malwarebytes for example..cnet..mega.nz  bleepincomputer..

[indio68]

edit (there is really no edit button on this forum?)  NOW EDGE OPEN MALWAREBYTES DOWNLOAD SITE FORM CNET, IT OPEN BLEEPINCOMPUTER..AND MEGA.NZ TOO!! you ar emy hero Kevin..many many thanks for your precious help if i still have a credit card i will donate, but sadly i must get rid of it (well bank get rid of it)..so i can only thank you for now 

[kevinf80]

The link to download Malwarebytes follows, are you unable to use that link:

https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/thankyou/

[indio68]

all ok now thanks to you my friend.

[kevinf80]

Thanks for the update, good to hear all is ok for you. Hosts reset has more than likely cured things.... Continue to clean up..

Right click on FRST here: E:\Documenti\FRST64.exe and rename uninstall.exe when complete right click on uninstall.exe and select "Run as Administrator" If you do not see the .exe appended that is because file extensions are hidden, in that case just rename FRST64 to uninstall That action will remove FRST and all created files and folders... Next, Remove all System Restore Points: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/33593-delete-system-restore-points-windows-10-a.html#option2 Create clean fresh Restore Point: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/create-system-restore-point Run Windows Disk Clean Up Utility - https://neosmart.net/wiki/disk-cleanup/ Malwarebytes Browser Guard (Free) for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/malwarebytes/ Malwarebytes Browser Guard (Free) for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/malwarebytes-browser-guar/ihcjicgdanjaechkgeegckofjjedodee From there you should be good to go...
