ESET Online Scanner
I'd like us to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan

Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable your antivirus along with your antispyware programs.

1. Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.

two possible threats were found, see attached

[ken545]

What I would do is go to that folder and delete everything inside but not the download folder itself

C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\Download


How are things running now ?

[plapinta]

I deleted all of the files in the download folder. I then rebooted into SAFE mode and ran Eset scan again. This time it found 2 different potential threats:

C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-117609710-813497703-725345543-1003\Dc37.exe a variant of Win32/InstallCore.D application cleaned by deleting - quarantined
C:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-117609710-813497703-725345543-1003\Dc40.exe probably a variant of Win32/Toolbar.Widgi application deleted - quarantined


It deleted those two files and I rebooted. Ran Eset scan again, no threats found.

[plapinta]

BTW, when in Safe mode the keyboard doesn't work.

[ken545]

Good Morning,

Both those files ESET found are in the Recycle Bin, just go and empty it out.



Do you have a wireless keyboard ? Sometimes in Safemode the drivers dont load for some devices, does your keyboard work al right in normal windows ?

[plapinta]

The keyboard is wired via a USB port, it works fine normally. I'll try a different port. I've deleted the recycle entries

[ken545]

Not sure whats going on with your keyboard, is it fairly old, maybe needs to be updated to a new one. Try a different keyboard and see if the problem goes away.

We work closely with other forums, why dont you post here in there hardware forum with help with your keyboard, like Safer its free but you will have to register.

Thanks for your help, I'm OK with the Malware issue.
