I have quarantined it with Malwarebytes but it keeps coming back and usually when I restart my Pc Windows Security detects it but if I want to take any action or remove it it just freezes. Malwarebytes does NOT detect it any more and tells me my pc is clean...

Also is it possible for this kind of Malware to spread thru my Internet Router or thru External HDD or USB ? If so how can i make sure i dont get it back thru those devices ? 

I have attached the logs from yesterday when Malwarebytes still detected it and the Windows security message I got. 

 

Best regards Herrmann

  • Temporarily disable your antivirus real-time protection or other security software first only if it blocks or interferes with the scans or downloads.. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed
  • Temporarily disable Microsoft SmartScreen to download software below only if needed. Make sure to turn it back on once the downloads are completed

Welcome smile.png
 
I'll be helping you with your computer.
 
Please read this post completely before beginning. If there's anything that you do not understand, please don't hesitate to ask before proceeding.
 
Please take note of the guidelines for this fix:

  • Please note that I am a volunteer. I do have a family, a career, and other endeavors that may prevent immediate responses that meet your schedule. Do note that the differences in time zones could present a problem as well. Your patience and understanding will be greatly appreciated.
  • First of all, the procedures we are about to perform are specific to your problem and should only be used on this specific computer.
  • Do not make any changes to your computer that include installing/uninstalling programs, deleting files, modifying the registry, nor running scanners or tools of any kind unless specifically requested by me.
  • Please read ALL instructions carefully and perform the steps fully and in the order they are written.
  • If things appear to be better, let me know. Just because the symptoms no longer exist as before, does not mean that you are clean.
  • Continue to read and follow my instructions until I tell you that your machine is clean.
  • If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to ask before performing the task that I ask of you, and please wait for my reply before you proceed.
  • Scanning with programs and reading the logs do take a fair amount of time. Again, your patience will be necessary. smile.png

Let's begin... 

Please remove the following program from your system.

Advanced System Repair Pro (HKU\S-1-5-21-3404669156-1259926126-2830140347-1001\...\Advanced System Repair Pro) (Version: 1.8.0.9 - Advanced System Repair, Inc.) <==== ATTENTION

It seems to be doing fine , I restarted it and didnt get any notification from windows security like I used too and in general it seems the CPU and GPU are not constantly at max ( like it used to be while I had the problem ).

I just have one more question as I asked in the original post , do you think it could have corrupted my external HDD ( I use it mostly to watch movies and didnt move any files there recently ) or my WiFi Router (I guess Im just paranoid now) ? 

Thank you so much for all the effort and the quick fix , will def. recommend Malwarebytes and this Forum to others (: 

have a lovely day

Whatever was the problem it was contained in the main drive. The tools used wont check external drives, unless part of your registry.

Only self-replicating Viruses may affect your external drive. I don't see anything of that kind in your logs.
