many thanks
Rachel

to assist we need some logs … see instructions here https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
attach Malwarebytes and Farbar Recovery Scan Tool logs …there will be 3 logs

Hi,
ok i will do,
many thanks

Hi,
I have finally worked out how to attach them and here they are,
thank you.

Hi,Another log i have attached,
thank you,
Rachel

you have attached wrong Malwarebytes log …we want scan log, not protection log

Hi,
Very sorry,i’m sure this is the right one now,
thank you
Rachel

thats the one … you had a nice PUP collection there :-\

now you wait for essexboy

Hi, the first thing you must do is uninstall Chrome, you may re-install once we have finished

Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/FRSTfix.JPG

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.

Hi,
i have unisnstalled chrome and copied and pasted to notepad.I have no idea how to run frst again.Sorry,but im no techie.
Rachel

No problem, ensure that FRST is on your desktop … If not then download a fresh copy to that location (both FRST and the Fixlist must be on the desktop)

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

[*]Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.

Have got the box downloaded but cant save it to desktop.Also those note i copied and pasted to notepad.do you want me to add them into the FRST document.This is so tricky.

OK better idea… Download the attached fixlist.txt to the same location as the FRST programme (desktop)
Start FRST and then press fix :slight_smile:

frst programme in downloads cant get it to desktop.

do you have FRST.exe in your download folder?

if so right click on the file and select Cut …then go to your desktop, rightclick somwhere and select Paste

Yay,its on desktop.clicked fix and it says that the fixlist is not there.It is because theres an icon saying fixlist.Bet you hope you dont get too many like me.
Thanks

Its working now,phew.

No problem, I can’t dance :slight_smile: horses for courses

Hi,
i think i now have the log attached.

Looks like it is killed, just the AdwCleaner run now to clear leftovers

The Alerts should no longer be present
