• To help AntiVirus to protect your computer and speed it up, I recommend that you download, install and keep the following free programs:
Keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update it regularly or from time to time and run a Quick Scan weekly.
Malwarebytes will detect and remove all traces of known malware. MBAM isn’t AntiVirus and it can NOT replace it.
Keep MCShield Anti-Malware, the tool will be updated regularly and perform auto-checking for malware to each attached USB memory device.
MCShield, has been designed as a lightweight scanner that’s smart enough to catch even new worms and work in fully automatic removal mode.
It’s recommended to delete Temporary Files every once in a while. Run the tool and click on the Start button and TFC will begin to clean. Then restart the computer. Temp File Cleaner aka TFC by OldTimer

hey, from what I experienced in the few minutes since the restart I can say I feel like it improved already.
For example before this, I always had these kind of lags when I didn’t move my crusor for some minutes it always had some delay when i moved it again. Now I think this delay is gone.
Tried to get rid of this stuff quite some time already… Thank you so much!

I’ve run the first step; need to uninstall McAfee agent to be able to disable McAfee for the second step. Awaiting instructions for the uninstall from my IT administrator. Will perform next step tonight and reply with FixLog and the log by ComboFix. Great thanks for your help again!
Upss…
My line of work here is volunteer based. It is not right for me for help you. Why should I share my acquired knowledge free and clean your computer firms.
Companies earn thanks to these computers, the IT Administrator getting their monthly salary in exchange for the maintenance of these computers.
At first I was pissed but then I realised you’re absolutely right. The reason I’m here was that my own IT people thought that formatting is the only solution. Please feel free not to assist me any longer but please don’t stop monitoring this thread for other people that might need your help.
Cccc … What, are they IT administrators in your firms? Omg … these “IT” people should be ashamed. >:(
And Thank you zee_shah for your kind understanding.
Run DelFix to remove all used tools here:
I’m doing this bc I love that, and if your IT administrators are silly enough to preform a fresh Window install just for this, then allow them to do so. :
Let them work and earn a salary.
