OTS found the initial files for me and CF then killed what was left
You can re-run OTS again with no problem if you wish - and I will then check it out
will do.
And here it is. And here’s hoping it’s clean.
Where do I send the single malt?

Wierd that is corrupted when I open it could you repost it please
Here it is again. Odd that it corrupted. I was just browsing through it myself.
Jim
Are you using wordpad or notepad for this ?
Could you zip it and attach it to see if that helps
trying from a different computer.
Seems to have formating in it - could you re-run or use a different version
[]Download OTL to your Desktop
[]Double click on the OTL icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
[*]Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan won’t take long.
When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and paste them into your reply.
Ah, now the forum is acting up. Told me I’d already posted my note after giving me trouble about the file sizes, but there’s no post there. Here’s me trying again.
I’ve resaved the file as ots 3a.txt. I created a zip file and saved it as ots 3a.log. I resaved it again as ANSI instead of unicode as ots 3b.txt. The latter two should be attached to this email.
OK, looks like both came through uncorrupted. Thank goodness.
I’m off to a belated Christmas gathering for which I’m about to be late. I’ll look at your latest posts when I return this evening. Thanks again so much for all your help and hard work.
Jim
OK the last one worked - it must have been the coding and all looked clear
Run OTS again and hit the cleanup button that will remove all my tools except AVZ, for that just delete the folder
Enjoy the party I am now off to bed ;D
Great news. Now what can I do for you? I owe you.
Jim
Would you happen to know an 18 year old blonde who owns a brewery ;D
Yeah, but he’s ugly.

I have come across OEM Vista + TrendMicro in laptops quite often over the last few years. I have yet to see any failing in this combo, so I still recommend TM to people. I have a few quibbles that I wont bring them up here as they’re more to do with features rather than failings.
I am always tempted to clean TM off these systems and replace with avast, but for the time being I dont push the point.
Hey
Why don’t u install Prevx and do a scan?
It is free for scanning and detection but not removal
Atleast, you will know, what all are there infected
Then you can make a plan B
Hi Gitarslinger,
Glad to see you solved the problem. For health reasons I have not been as active on the forum over the last month. Hence I did not reply to your earlier post.
Best wishes,
