OK. Done with this PC. Will start up a new thread with our third one in a couple of days.

I see that you do not have Windows Defender on there.

Should I always be running this on Windows 10 as my default?

Or should I substitute one from each of the lists you gave (and not run...

This PC is not new. It has been running for 6 years, and getting some fairly intense usage. It's going to get kludgy.

BUT, the point of having K9 BlueCoat installed was to limit/monitor young...

I am not sure what you meant. If you meant — did I copy your fix out of your post and run FRST with the fix option while that copy was in the clipboard — then yes.

Windows Defender had no trouble removing those.

PC seems to be running fine.

Ran FRST. Log pasted below.

OK. Quarantined everything found by Windows Defender's long scan. Deleted some files as recommended. Did not reboot. Ran FRST. Two logs below.

It will probably be Friday before I am back to this...

Yes, this is still ongoing. I teach university and have a kid moving dorms 4 hours away. The first two weeks are kind of crazy. I will try to do the deletions and post a FRST log tonight.

The two that are quarantined, but that Windows Defender wants to remove, are Bitrep.B and Beilextec. Should I remove them?

This was from a full rather than a quick scan.

I will let you take a look at this and reply before I run FRST.

I quarantined everything found (which is mostly on quite old stuff that is...

I have been running a full scan with Windows Defender. It is taking a long time. I'm being patient with it.

When you said this could be a false positive, do you think that this might be some sort of link to the outside that's activated by just browsing to a certain webpage? And it's caught by K9 because it...

I was running 3 browsers at the time: Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. I will try and not have more than one open at a time for a while, and see if I can isolate these warnings to one of them.

He says that's done.

Do you need me to have him forward a log, or are we good to go.

(I will be starting a thread on a third PC shortly).

My earlier thread is closed.

I have not used this PC much since we finished that thread about 5 days ago.

Tonight I got a pop-up from K9 that it had blocked outgoing traffic of some sort. These...

That laptop seems fine now.

My son has gone back to school. Should I have him run that DelFix clean up tool you had me do on our first PC?

I found the RogueKiller folder you referenced. Logs kept there are in JSON format and over 90K. I did not paste them (but I can if you want me to). I tried to attach them, but Spybot returned an...

I ran RogueKiller successfully. It came up with a 7 PUMs and PUPs. However, it seems to overwrite its own logs, and I did. I can rerun it if needed.

I am starting this thread before the first PC is quite finished (my son is home from college for a few days).

This is a laptop that is on our home LAN every few months. It runs Windows 10, and...

Done. Log pasted below.

I have "Before you post" logs from a second computer ready to go. Let me know when I can start a new thread.

I did not have a lot of symptoms before, other than old computer slowness. Seems fine now.

Warning messages from BlueCoat K9 were always sort of random, and were mostly related to sending...

I need to go on a trip on short notice. I will run the new version of adwCleaner when I get back. Probably will post on Monday.

Two logs pasted below.

I cannot tell yet if there has been an improvement to the computer (just too busy to use it today).

I did get a single popup from K9 about a site being accessed. I was...

Removed CPUID as requested.

Three requested log files pasted below. (Still not sure how to get a log you can use out of K9).

Only problem was with AdwCleaner. Version 7.2.1 downloaded from your...

I am not sure how to get out what I am seeing from K9. Yes it has logs, but they don't seem very detailed. I am getting popups for blocked URL's. Not sure how to capture that information.

I am...

This is for the main computer in the household. Secondary one will follow when this one is taken care of. This PC has 2 hard drives, and is wired directly to a router (which also has NAS wired to...
