This keeps popping up on my screen but I have not done anything different than I do every day…
I’ve already downloaded and run the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and attached the logs.
Please let me know if I’ve done something wrong.
Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe
Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that
THEN
Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your desktop.
[*]Close all open programs and internet browsers.
[*]Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
[*]Click on Scan.
[*]After the scan is complete click on “Clean”
[*]Confirm each time with Ok.
[*]Your computer will be rebooted automatically. A text file will open after the restart.
[*]Please post the content of that logfile with your next answer.
[*]You can find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[S1].txt as well.
There was one I had unchecked before hitting Clean because it looked like a file I need for the computer to run…I guess you’ll let me know if I should have removed it?
Well, thank you for your help. I haven’t had anymore problems with it since the other day but I haven’t watched anymore videos either… If it happens again, I’ll be back, lol. Thanks again!!
WARNING:Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disableJava in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)
Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
