Hello @Abhinav0702 and

 

My name is MKDB and I will assist you.

 

• Please follow the steps in the given order and post back the logs as an attachment when ready. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
• Temporarily disable your antivirus or other security software first. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed.
• Temporarily disable Microsoft SmartScreen to download software below if needed. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed.
• As English is not my native language, please do not use slang or idoms. It may be hard for me to understand.

 

 

No need to be paranoid. We will have a closer look on your system. 😉

Why did you remove MBAM Premium and AdwCleaner from your system again?

 

 

First of all, I would like you to run a FRST fix (Step1). We are going to remove some orphans and check windows system files (this may take some time, probably > 10 min).

After that, I would like you to run another scan with FRST (Step2).

 

 

 

Step 1

• Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the location where you ran FRST from ( C:\Users\anith\Downloads\ ).

Note: It's important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

• Close all open programs and save your work.
• Run FRST again.
• Press the Fix button only once and wait. Please be patient.
• If the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
• FRST will create one log now (Fixlog.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.
• Please attach this logfile to your next reply.

 

 

 

Step 2

• Run FRST again.
• Do not change any settings.
• Press the Scan button.
• FRST will create two logs now (FRST.txt + Addition.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.
• Please attach these logfiles to your next reply.

Thank you very much for your kind words... especially for translating them into my native language. 😄

 

Your logfiles look good so far. Windows system file check was unremarkable.

 

Please do me a favor and run MSS to check your system for leftovers (Step1).

Thank you again for your cooperation.

How is your system running at the moment?

 

 

Step 1

The Microsoft Safety Scanner (MSS) 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.
• Please let me know the results of this scan.
• Run a Quick 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.

Good job, no signs of malware @Abhinav0702 😉

 

Thank you for your cooperation, we're done.  There's no reason to be concerned.

 

Step 1

• Right-Click on FRST64 and choose Rename.
• Rename FRST64 into Uninstall.
• Run Uninstall.
• FRST and it’s files/folders will be deleted.
• If the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restarts normally.
