Is it reasonable to assume the threat is neutralized?

Read my post above again

system · 2017-11-07T21:10:35.000Z

OK, I’m running FRST64.exe. I’ll post the logs as soon as it is done.

system · 2017-11-07T21:14:12.000Z

Logs are attached.

Done! Fixlog.txt attached.

SassDrake · 2017-11-07T22:27:12.000Z

What is system status now?

system · 2017-11-07T22:34:20.000Z

I haven’t seen the original message for awhile. System Restore will still not launch either from the Windows menu, Run command or from command prompt.

SassDrake · 2017-11-07T22:37:14.000Z

Do you get any error message?

system · 2017-11-07T22:43:06.000Z

No, nothing happens at all. I even tried creating a new restore point earlier. It said it created successfully, but still no dice.

You may want to look at the following:

I downloaded and installed and it shows the restore point I created before. I assume that there should be others. Is it possible that the malware deleted them? Can you tell whether the original problem has been removed?

It is quite possible but Sass Drake would be the expert to confirm that.

system · 2017-11-07T23:12:03.000Z

OK, I’ll assume so for now. Thanks very much for all of your help!

bob3160 · 2017-11-07T23:21:31.000Z

You’re welcome.

Malware you had should not be reason why System Restore Apllication won’t open. Follow these instructions and tell us results.

The sfc /scannow process is running now.

system · 2017-11-08T01:05:00.000Z

Process complete with message: “Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.” Log attached.

SassDrake · 2017-11-08T12:12:08.000Z

Does System Restore application works now?

system · 2017-11-08T12:32:58.000Z

No. I was going to try re-running the sfc process after re-starting in safe mode. I had been thinking it might be necessary to completely reload Windows if that fails.

system · 2017-11-08T14:35:39.000Z

After a couple more reboots, system restore is now working. It shows only the restore point I created yesterday. Very strange. Have you any advice on further action?
