    Default Cloud Hack?

    Hello, My computer has been slowing down recently. I have Avast [the paid version] and while it has found some low level infections, it has found NOTHING in email which makes me wonder if that might be the source of an infection.

    I have been watching and studying my registry for a long time. I have found what I believe are many irregularities...too many unknown user accounts. I have over 11,000 songs on my hard drive and Amazon Cloud, which I recently deleted. [the Cloud that is.] I am using a wired Cisco router E-2500, with IPv6 and my wireless adapter disabled. Yet I continue to see references to wireless activity in the registry. I found Cisco Webex in my downloads which I do not recall downloading. I think that my router is being used as an access point.

    Also in Management console tasks, I see a constant updating of a Windows Media Center media package compiled and ready for use though I rarely use WMC. Also, despite the fact that I turn off file sharing in Control Panel...it continues to be reset to "Share files. And many other little things too numerous to mention.

    Please help. I await your instructions. Many thanks.

    Hello Aprilrose,

    To request assistance in the malware removal forum please see the FAQ which includes guidelines in post #1 and instructions in post #2 on how to provide the logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and aswMBR, which are the logs used in the preliminary analysis.

    Regarding the Farbar Log please note:

    Do not check
    *List BCD
    *Drivers MD5
    *Shortcut txt

    Or your logs will be too long to post.

    Once you have the logs please copy paste them into a new topic so a volunteer analyst may advise when available.

    Best regards.

    Hello Aprilrose,

    If Spybot - Search & Destroy has detected items it cannot remove, please produce the top of the log showing the items flagged and the version of Spybot - Search & Destroy.
    Please do not attempt to post the entire log as it won't fit into the one post and is not needed unless requested.

    Or you can leave it out altogether, the other logs will show any issues so I've edited the sticky to make it optional.

    Does that help?
