Hello dpssimonds, can you post me the screenshot of that aleart?
FRST is tool design to smartly record all loading points on your system that is known that malware can take advantage and exploit for execution.
I recommended to uninstall all IOBit programs from your system. These programs are not malicius, but they have some malicius past (with Malwarebytes company) so…choise is yours.
Bdw, I will need to start more aggressively, so we shall deploy ComboFix. Let’s start …
- Please download ComboFix by sUBs (
http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/IconComboFix.png
) from here and save it to your Desktop.
[i]If you are unsure how ComboFix works, read this guide.
- Temporarily disable your AntiVirus program, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may interfere with Combofix.
If you are unsure how to do this please read this or this Instruction.
Instructions how to disable avast:
• Right click on the avast! system tray icon (
http://www.mcshield.net/pg/images/avast5.png
) in the lower right corner of the screen and scroll up to avast! shield controls;
• In the menu that appears, choose Disable Permanently. When you are prompted to turn off security, click Yes.
Note: Do not forget to turn back on this option after the cleaning by choosing avast! shield controls > Enable all shield options.
- Run ComboFix. Then, on disclaimer window, click I Agree! button.
[i][size=7pt]- ComboFix will check if there is a newer version of ComboFix available.
Click Yes if prompted to download.
-If Recovery Console is not installed, ComboFix will offer download & installation.
Click Yes to allow ComboFix to install Recovery Console.
- ComboFix will scan your computer in stages, total of 50 stages.
Do not mouse-click around while ComboFix is running.
- If malware is detected, ComboFix will begin with its removal, and may need to restart Windows.
Note:If you see a message like “Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion” just restart your computer.

- When the tool is finished, it will produce a log report for you. (typical location: C:\ComboFix.txt)
=> Attach log report (ComboFix.txt) back to topic.
ComboFix shall also create addition log (typical location: C:\Qoobox\ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt)
=> Please attach that report (ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt) as well.
