“In the meantime, please, delineate the issue(s) you are facing.” I’ve been getting the Avast pop-ups with the audible “Threat Detected” warnings, with various sites listed. (opticguardzip.net, anythicago.com, alwaysisobar.com)
AdwCleaner Log attached.
I think I’m having trouble getting a “Fix” log. When I click on “Fix” , it tells me “No Fixlist.txt found.” Also, “the Fixlist.txt should be in the same folder/directory the tool is located.” Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Everything is saved to my desktop.
Oh yes, and I’ve Uninstalled SPYWAREfighter, Enabled avast! and disabled Windows Defender.
Your FRST.exe is located in C:\Users\Glen’s 2010 PC\Downloads. Copy it to your Desktop and the fixlist.txt too. Then click on ‘Fix’.
FRST.exe and fixlist.txt are both on my desktop, but I keep getting “No Fixlist.txt found.” “the Fixlist.txt should be in the same folder/directory the tool is located.”
Did I miss a step?
Make a new folder and put both of them inside that folder. Try to run the fix afterwards.
Okay, still same problem - still won’t “fix” , even though files are in their own folder. Attached are new scan results. Where to go from here? Sorry to be a pain…
If FRST.exe and fixlist.txt are in the same folder it will work.
Make sure you have not named it fixlist.txt.txt or something.
All files (“FRST64”, “fixlist” and “Addition”) are now in my Downloads folder. Double-clicked on FRST64, Clicked “Fix” and I get: “Warning: Looks you don’t know what to do. To prevent damage to the system the tool will exit.”
Saving me from myself!
Try it with the attached fixlist.
Tried with attached fixlist and got same result. Tried with the file on Desktop and in Downloads folder.
Do I need to start over?
Pulling my hair out! (And my head is shaved.)
Hi,
Let’s try something different.
[*]Step #3 Run Zoek
Temporary disable your security software i.e. anti-virus, anti-malware. Peruse this if you are unsure. Download Zoek.exe by smeenk from one of the following locations listed below –
Download Link #1
Download Link #2
[*]Right-click and choose Run as administrator to run the program.
[list][*]Note: The program may not appear instantaneously. Await few minutes for the program to start if that happens
[*]Copy and Paste the following content inside the code box into Zoek’s box –

[*]Close all open Windows including your web-browser.
[*]Click on Run Script.
[*]Your system may reboot and a log file will open which is also located in your systemdrive.
[*]Copy and Paste the contents of the log in your next reply.
You should not make shortcut of the file and the fixlist like you did here:
2015-06-18 00:34 - 2015-06-18 00:32 - 00060877 _____ C:\Users\Glen's 2010 PC\Desktop\fixlist - Copy.txt 2015-06-18 00:34 - 2015-06-18 00:26 - 00001563 _____ C:\Users\Glen's 2010 PC\Desktop\FRST64(5) - Shortcut - Copy.lnk 2015-06-18 00:23 - 2015-06-18 00:49 - 00001243 _____ C:\Users\Glen's 2010 PC\Desktop\FRST64(5) - Shortcut.lnkYou were to copy the FRST.exe and put it into your Desktop. You were to download/make the Fixlist.txt and saved it to your Desktop without renaming such as [b]fixlist - Copy.txt[/b].
An example would be the following scenario:
You have the following files in the Desktop like:
C:\Users\Glen's 2010 PC\Desktop\fixlist.txt C:\Users\Glen's 2010 PC\Desktop\FRST64.exe
You run FRST64.exe as an administrator and click on ‘Fix’. The fix should work then.
