Hi.
You're welcome and no need to attach anything from this point forward, merely post any requested logs please.Thank you for your continued assistance.
I have checked out the MBR all appears fine and I am of the mind if something is not broken do not fix so we will leave as is. Still not a complete FRST log but we can come back to that in shortly.
Windows Sidebar Advice:
It is no longer prudent to have this feature enabled as outlined in the below Microsoft article:-
Vulnerabilities in Gadgets could allow remote code execution
I advice you download and run the Disable Windows Sidebar and Gadgets Fixtit utility to rectify this.
Note: Ensure you reboot you machine when prompted before proceeding any further.
Scan with AdwCleaner:
Please download adwcleaner from here and save to your desktop.
- Right-click on adwcleaner.exe and select Run as Administrator to launch the application.
- Now click on the Scan tab >> once the scan is complete click on the Clean tab and follow the prompts.
- Allow the system to reboot. You will then be presented with the report. Copy & Paste this report on your next reply.
Note: The log can also be located at C: >> AdwCleaner >> AdwCleaner[S0].txt
Re-scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool:
Please delete the current version of FRST64.exe and both the FRST and Addition logs, then empty the Recycle Bin.
Then re-download and save Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 64-Bit to your desktop.
- Right-click on FRST64.exe and select Run as Administrator to start FRST.
- Under Optional Scan ensure both Drivers MD5 and Addition.txt are selected.
- Now click on the Scan button/radio tab >> at the Scan completed prompt click on OK
- At the next prompt denoting Addition.txt is saved in the same location FRST tool is run >> click on OK
- There will now be two logs on your desktop, Addition.txt and FRST.txt. Post the contents of both in your next reply.
Next:
When completed the above, please post back the following in the order asked for:
- How is your computer performing now, any further symptoms and or problems encountered?
- AdwCleaner Log.
- Both FRST logs. <-- Post them individually please, IE: one Log per post/reply.
