Hello! I hope you are having a nice day.


I've been fixing all my PC's on my network since I'm afraid there is malware, one PC is being repaired by HP.

This computer is a different one; its an old Sony Vaio.

 

What's happening is that there are quite a few logs in Event Viewer and I'm unable to confirm that there isn't any malware.

 

Thanks for your help again!!

The Event Logs have thousands of entries and for the most part are normal and simply alert you as to what is going on with your computer.

We'd need more information. We can scan your system for malware if you like.

 

Let us get some logs please @Galaxyyyy

 

 

Please do the following so that we can get started and see what's going on.


The Farbar Recovery Scan Tool is a free Windows utility designed to create troubleshooting logs for your computer. These logs help our Support team to identify and resolve issues with your computer.

There are two versions of the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool available for download: 32-bit and 64-bit.
To find which operating system is installed on your computer, refer to Microsoft's article: 32-bit and 64-bit Windows: Frequently asked questions

Please go into Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features and uninstall the following

Java 8 Update 45
 

Restart the computer and run the following update for Microsoft Windows.

NOTE: This update will take a LONG time to complete. Be patient and do not bother it even though it may say you can continue to use the computer, do not. Just let the update run by itself until it's complete.
