Eddy · 2015-07-14T08:35:23.000Z

Waiting for the logs…

system · 2015-07-14T08:45:53.000Z

the mb logs (threat scan and full system scan) and the frst, waiting for the aswmbr to finish up and ill post in next reply

system · 2015-07-14T09:32:10.000Z

aswmbr seems like it keeps getting caught up a lot longer than it should on certain files, ill post as soon as its done, but that things just taking its sweet time i guess. if you can come up with anything in the mean time without the log thatd be lovely. if not, well hey ill have it up asap.

system · 2015-07-14T09:49:18.000Z

Finally finished. All the logs ready Kappa

Eddy · 2015-07-14T10:01:00.000Z

doing it all now, ill give it a good 12 hours before i say for sure i think its done on this post though, since the issues pop up intermittently

system · 2015-07-14T21:47:25.000Z

Heres the next log you guys requested, nothing popped up on startup but again Im giving it some time before i say for sure everythings clear, but it seems like it might be so far typically he gets one or two avast pop ups within the first 10 minutes of start up.

Subject to no further problems

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix
Select the options as shown

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

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article

I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version

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

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
