@Counterparts89

Why told you to run zoekscript that isn’t written for your computer? Just to let you know that zoek has wiped outh just a few legitimate entry.

If you wish help, run these tools:

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (
http://www.mcshield.net/personal/magna86/Images/FRST_canned.png
) by Farbar and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale 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.

[*]Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Under Optional Scan ensure “Driver MD5” are ticked.
[*]Press Scan button.
[*]It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
[*]The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

THEN…

Please download GMER, the RootKit Detector tool from the link below and save it to your Desktop:

Gmer download link
Note: file will be random named

Double-clicking to run GMER.

[*]Wait for initial scan to finish - if there is any query, click No;
[*]Click [ Scan ] button and wait until the full scan is complete;
[*]Click [ Save … ]- save the report to the Desktop (named ARK );

[*]Then click the >>> button and select Autostart card;
[*]Click [ Scan ] button;
[*] After quick scan, click Copy button;
[*]Open notepad and Paste text. Save report to the Desktop (named autostart )

Attach here both Gmer logreports. (ARK.txt and autostart.txt)

Well, my computer goes very well, even better since I’ve followed the steps, I don’t know which Legitimate Entry I’ve deleted, but nothing goes wrong anywhere. Should I still run what You’re telling Me to run? Thanks for the answer

• To help AntiVirus to protect your computer and speed it up, I recommend that you download, install and keep the following free programs:

  1. Keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update it regularly or from time to time and run a Quick Scan weekly.
    Malwarebytes will detect and remove all traces of known malware. MBAM isn’t AntiVirus and it can NOT replace it.

  2. Keep MCShield Anti-Malware, the tool will be updated regularly and perform auto-checking for malware to each attached USB memory device.
    MCShield, has been designed as a lightweight scanner that’s smart enough to catch even new worms and work in fully automatic removal mode.

  3. It’s recommended to delete Temporary Files every once in a while. Run the tool and click on the Start button and TFC will begin to clean. Then restart the computer.
    Temp File Cleaner aka TFC by OldTimer
    TFC is small & usefull utility that shall clean up temp files from all userprofiles and system folders.

• How to protect yourself?
