Can't remove a malware from my pc

[Sam5656]

So I got infected a while ago and been trying to clean it ever since.
My pc is running windows 10 and i'm afraid that there's a bios rootkit since I tried formatting the pc more than 4 times and no luck.
Tried scanning with windows defender and excluding the service but no luck.
It won't let me download malwarebytes or any other anti virus.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hiya Sam5656 and welcome to Malwarebytes,

Run the following scan, lets see if anything shows up: Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop. Alternative download option: http://www.techspot.com/downloads/6731-farbar-recovery-scan-tool.html Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system (32 bit or 64 bit). If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version. If your security alerts to FRST either, accept the alert or turn your security off to allow FRST to run. It is not malicious or infected in any way... Be aware FRST must be run from an account with Administrator status... If English is not your primary language Right click on FRST/FRST64 and rename FRSTEnglish/FRST64English   Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.(Windows 8/10 users will be prompted about Windows SmartScreen protection - click More information and Run.) Make sure Addition.txt is checkmarked under "Optional scans"   Press Scan button to run the tool.... It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply. The tool will also make a log named (Addition.txt) Please attach that log to your reply. You may need to do the following: Disable smart screen if it interferes with software we may have to use: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/what-is-smartscreen-and-how-can-it-help-protect-me-1c9a874a-6826-be5e-45b1-67fa445a74c8 Please remember to enable when we are finished.... Next, Disable any Anti-virus software you have installed if it stops software we may use from working: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/114351/how-to-temporarily-disable-your-anti-virus-firewall-and-anti-malware-programs/ Please remember to enable AV software when we are finished running scans.... Thank you, Kevin

Hiya Sam5656,

Do not see anything obviously wrong with FRST logs, run the following fix for me.

Download attached fixlist.txt file (end of reply) and save it to the Desktop, or the folder you saved FRST into. "Do not open that file when running FRST fix" NOTE. It's important that both FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work. Open FRST and press the Fix button just once and wait. The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or the folder it was ran from. Please post it to your reply.   Thank you,   Kevin.

Malware and adw cleaner both said nothing was found but microsoft safety actually removed something.
Here's the log

Hiya Sam5656,

The fix with FRST did make repairs to syatem files, it would seem that Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner did install and run successfully. MSERT log shows no infection found, it did flag that Windows Defender was turned off. That registry setting is classed as a tampering tool.  have a read at the following links:

Thank you, 
my pc is indeed better but still sadly infected.
So I'm confused, what should I do?

[kevinf80]

What makes you believe your PC is infected...?

Please download the correct portable version (32-bit or 64-bit) of RogueKiller for your system and save the file to your computer Desktop. https://www.techspot.com/downloads/5562-roguekiller.html https://m.majorgeeks.com/files/details/roguekiller.html   Right-click on the RogueKiller file and select Run as administrator to start the tool. Click Yes to accept the UAC security warning that may appear. Click Accept to agree with the EULA (End User License Agreement) and close the browser tab it will open. Now click the Scan blue button and under the Standard Scan (recommended) click on the Scan button. When the scan is complete, click on Report button. NOTE: DO NOT delete any found entries. All listed entries will be carefully analyzed. Then click on Report button. Click Export button and select "Text file". Give a name to the file such as RKlog.txt and save it to the Desktop or in a location where you can easily find it. Click the Finish button and close RogueKiller window. Copy and paste the entire contents of that log into your next reply.

My PC is still having weird noises and many ads although I installed all the above programs, and acting weird with startups.
The report as requested

roguekillerreport.txt

[kevinf80]

What sort of noises do you hear, where do you see the ads? Only when using your Browser or at other times. I see Edge is the default browser is that the only browser affected..?

[kevinf80]

Any progress..?
