Ever noticed if your computer is running hot?today when d'loading the adwcleaner my pc shut down
Is this an older computer, maybe windows 7 or windows 8 that was upgraded to windows 10?
Did these problems maybe start after a windows update?
Reason I'm asking, there really isn't the presence of malware attacking your computer.
Let's try a quick rootkit scan, then an online scan.
Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit Beta
- Download Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit Beta and extract it to your desktop (MBAR will be launched shortly after the extraction);
- Click on Next, and then on the Update button to let it update its database. Once the database has been successfully updated, click on Next;
- Make sure all the checkboxes are checked, then click on the Scan button, and let it completes its scan (this can take a while);
- Once the scan is done, make sure that every item is checked, and click on the Cleanup button (a reboot might be required);
- After that (and the reboot, if one was required), go back in the mbar folder and look for a text file called mbar-log-TODAY'S-DATE.txt;
- Copy/paste the content of that log in your next reply;

Emsisoft Emergency Kit
Please download Emsisoft Emergency Kit and save it to your desktop. Double click on the EmsisoftEmergencyKit file you downloaded to extract its contents and create a shortcut on the desktop. Leave all settings as they are and click the Extract button at the bottom. A folder named EEK will be created in the root of the drive (usually c:\).
- After extraction please double-click on the new Start Emsisoft Emergency Kit icon on your desktop.
- The first time you launch it, Emsisoft Emergency Kit will recommend that you allow it to download updates. Please click Yes so that it downloads the latest database updates.
- When update is complete, click Malware Scan. When asked if you want the scanner to scan for Potentially Unwanted Programs, click Yes. Emsisoft Emergency Kit will start scanning.
- When the scan is completed click Quarantine selected objects. Note, this option is only available if malicious objects were detected during the scan.
- When the threats have been quarantined, click the View report button in the lower-right corner, and the scan log will be opened in Notepad.
- Please save the log in Notepad on your desktop and post the contents in your next reply.
- When you close Emsisoft Emergency Kit, it will give you an option to sign up for a newsletter. This is optional, and is not necessary for the malware removal process.
