    Find anything yet?
    Thats a remarkable amount of time for the scanner to run, are you multitasking too?

    All in all how are the pop ups now, still gone?

    ok, still no luck with eset. it's been about a week now and it has scanned 235,000 files and still going. it has listed 0 scan result files. it has taken a while before but not this long. again i apologize for my absence. this pc is an old lenovo ideapad 330 and is so slow it makes me almost cry.

    Let's bring that to an end.
    If it's still running I would open task manager and do an End Task on the scanner.
    Check add/remove programs list and if you see Eset listed there I would uninstall it, no sense to keep it there.

    I think we can remove tools and quarantine folders now. You really need to do this sense the version of Farbar you used was outdated.

    Use this tool to remove quarantined items:

    Please download KpRm by Kernel-panik and save to your Desktop.
    • Click on KpRm.exe to run the tool.

    Vista/Windows 7/8/10 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.
    • Put a check mark next to these items:

    - Delete tools
    - Delete now
    • Click the "Run" button.


    • When the tool has finished, it will create and open a log report and delete itself.
