Hi!
I did not notice any new messages in past hour or so

Here are requested logs:

essexboy · July 31, 2014, 1:40pm

Any further problems ?

system · August 1, 2014, 10:58am

No, it worked

Thank you essexboy

essexboy · August 1, 2014, 11:19am

In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way

Subject to no further problems

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Download and run Delfix

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/delfix.JPG

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/CryptoPrevent.JPG

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

essexboy · August 4, 2014, 8:27pm

Do you have chrome set to synch ? If so we will need to delete the current synch data

OK time for a bigger hammer

[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.

Notes:

Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.
