Hello @mysteroius_cow

Let's start out by having you go to Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features and uninstall ALL McAfee software. Then restart the computer.

Once that is done then do the following

 

Please visit the following site and download the McAfee Removal Tool under Method 2

https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/cp/home/articleview?articleId=TS101331

 

The direct download link for the tool is:

https://download.mcafee.com/molbin/iss-loc/SupportTools/MCPR/MCPR.exe

Run that and restart the computer.

 

Then run FRST again and click on SCAN and post back both new logs.

I'll check back on you again sometime in the morning.

Thanks

@mysteroius_cow

You're wanting to keep and use the Proton VPN and just remove the MASK VPN correct?

 

[AdvancedSetup]

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Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and run the updated version.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

Hi the fixlog is as follows

Fixlog.txt

[AdvancedSetup]

Yes, please go to Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features and uninstall everything Proton and then reboot.

After that then run FRST again and click on SCAN and post back new logs

Thanks

 

[mysteroius_cow]

The  first.txt and addition.txt is as follows

Addition.txt FRST.txt

[AdvancedSetup]

Please save the attached FIXLIST.txt file as before to the same folder location as the FRST program.

Then run FRST and click the FIX button and let it run

After the computer restarts please post back the FIXLOG.txt file

fixlist.txt

 

Then run the following

 

SecurityCheck by glax24              

I would like you to run a tool named SecurityCheck to inquire about the current-security-update status of some applications.

• Download SecurityCheck by glax24 from here  https://tools.safezone.cc/glax24/SecurityCheck/SecurityCheck.exe
• and save the tool on the desktop.
• If Windows's  SmartScreen block that with a message-window, then
• Click on the MORE INFO spot and over-ride that and allow it to proceed.
• This tool is safe.   Smartscreen is overly sensitive.
• Right-click  with your mouse on the Securitycheck.exe  and select "Run as administrator"   and reply YES to allow to run & go forward
• Wait for the scan to finish. It will open in a text file named SecurityType.txt. Close the file.  Attach it with your next reply.
• You can find this file in a folder called SecurityCheck, C:\SecurityCheck\SecurityCheck.txt

I have attached the Fixlog and securitycheck as follows.
