    Hi joliegew

    I have some questions for you

    • Q1; When did the problem first start?
    • Q2; What leads you to believe it is malware related?
    • Q3; Have any of your other onboard protection programs detected anything prior to you posting here?


    Please let me know the answer to my questions, as well I can help you with your machine

    Default Questions

    Q1. Some weeks ago, 2?
    Q2. If I get unpredicted behavious of a pc, immediately suspect infection.
    Q3. Yes, but I thought I instantly could kill them by various tools available at internet sites. Prior to that my own scanner moved more often than not malware to the trash.

    Hi Joliegew

    Ok Good

    Q1 Please let me know what scanner you used before to ask for help here?
    Many scanners are potentially dangerous if used carelessly, and must be used under supervision of an expert, can also remove traces of an infection that could serve as a reference to the helper for the disinfection of the machine

    Q2 Lists all security programs have on your machine now (apart the tools that I requested )

    Put the Windows installations disk into your PC and reboot it.

    Please go into your BIOS and set the CD/DVD drive to be first boot device or tap a certain key (this key depends on your PC but is usually something like F12) on the post screen, which will then open a menu list so you can choose what device to boot from first, chose the CD/DVD drive.
    Save and exit.


    download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 32-Bit
    Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 64-Bit and save it to a flash drive.

    Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.


    To enter System Recovery Options by using Windows installation disc:
    • Insert the installation disc.
    • Restart your computer.
    • If prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    • Click Repair your computer.
    • Select US as the keyboard language settings, and then click Next.
    • Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    • Select your user account and click Next.


    On the System Recovery Options menu you will get the following options:
      • Startup Repair
        System Restore
        Windows Complete PC Restore
        Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool
        Command Prompt
    • Select Command Prompt
    • In the command window type in notepad and press Enter.
    • The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open.
    • Select "Computer" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad.
    • In the command window type e:\frst.exe (for x64 bit version type e:\frst64) and press Enter
      Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive.
    • The tool will start to run.
    • When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
    • Press Scan button.
    • It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
