• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

My wife allowed access to our computer from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. Now I think our computer may be infected because of it. I reset my passwords, downloaded malwarebytes anti-malware, bought S&D 2 and attempted to use it. I'm in way over my head here and I really need some help, PLEASE, if you would help me figure this out I could rest easier. I'm having trouble running the Far Bar tool, it tries to update over and over. the only way it would run is when I shut off my wifi but the FRST.txt file it produces is 530 kb and is to large to post. here are the other two. Please advise.

The developer of Farbar Recovery Scan Tool has been notified and the tool has been updated.

If you would please, delete the one you have and download a fresh version.

After, it might work best if you copy and paste the logs in instead of posting as attachments.
