… Logs https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
no offense, but this is getting old fast. Computer too slow, getting hung up and text size keeps changing. While typing will go from 110%, which is where I like it, to 50-150%. but you guys are great. Avast is turned off, again
ASK keeps sneaking in. I thought I had blocked it
and again
I think probs are being found. But what am I doing, or not doing that this keeps happening
Please refer to the post https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0. We need 2 additional logs from you:
- Farber Recovery Scan
- aswMBR.exe
Once you attach these logs to your next post, a Malware Removal Special will be along to give you further instructions. Thank you.
