    Default ArcadeTwist

    My computer has become infected by Arcadetwist, which apparently installed itself a couple of days ago. How can I get rid of it and all the stuff it's put on my computer? I've tried going to Control Panel to uninstall it, but when I try it's still there afterwards. I tried running Spybot, but it doesn't pick it up. I'm running Win10.

    Hello cfsdays,

    Please refer to the forum FAQ and the instructions in post #2 on how to provide the logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and aswMBR, which are used in the preliminary analysis.

    http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288

    Then start a new topic providing the logs as shown in that FAQ and a volunteer analyst will advise.

    If you have any difficulties with the logs please let us know.

    Best regards.

    Hi Tashi, I tried to do as you requested, but the length of those 3 logs is way too long to post (870249 characters).

    It said the attachments were too big to post. Anyway, since then I've managed to find a couple of other programs that cleared the files from my system, and delete arcade twist. Thanks.
