What I did was type "%userprofile%\my documents" into the "My Computer" address bar.
If that opened My Documents in folder view then it's correct location for My Music folder.

Why I think I misunderstood is when I navigate to HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2451687304-371562479-257786285-1005\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

all that is there is a folder called "New", there is no My Pictures, My Music or My Videos folders to delete.
Could you grab a screenshot of this (you may save it as a .png file via Windows own MS Paint for example), please?
 
Hi,

Did you navigate on tree to HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2451687304-371562479-257786285-1005\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders key? Your screenshot shows contents of totally different key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run to be exact).
 
Hi Blade,

Please see 2 more attached images

"untitled2" shows the process in which I navigated the tree to get to the User Shell Folders.

In which the only folder is "New"

"untitled3" shows what comes up when I click on the folder "New".
 
Hi,

Please post a screenshot of view when you click on User Shell Folders key there. Those "My Pictures" and the other two are values of that correspondent key meaning they should appear on the right side of the window.
 
Ahh ok I understanbd now! I was just expanding the tree, not clicking on it.

I have attached 2 images - "before" and "after"

"before" is before I followed the instructions to delete, recreate and change the values of the folders.

"after" is after I've done that.

Thanks for taking the time to really spell things out. As obvious as this all is to you is as foreign as it is to me. Gosh, I'm frighteningly ignorant right now.
 
Good. Please see if you're able to continue from those steps (Adobe Reader updating etc) that are still unfinished :)
 
Yup, Last night I downloaded new reader, new java etc etc. All good.

I tried running Kaspersky but my internet connection kept dropping out, so I left it to run again while I'm out of the house.

I'll check on it's progress, finish the steps and get a new dds report when I get home.
 
Bad news... For some reason I can no longer disable McAfee.

As I can't disable McAfee I don't think it's a good idea to run the dds log.

Fun times, fun times. I guess have a good weekend and I will bother you again next week? I feel bad tying up your time with problem after problem after problem after....
 
Could you uninstall McAfee for now? You may reinstall after cleaning process is finished.
 
Well, McAfee won't affect DDS run so it won't be a problem if you can't disable protection.
 
Hello,

please see the below Kaspersky report.

dds to follow soon.

thanks.

Hmm... not quite sure what I'm doing wrong for the DDS report. It's not giving a blank screen then 2 reports, instead it is just opening a .txt file of gibberish.

I tried running ERUNT then .dds to see if it made a difference.

no.

At the start of the gibb is a message long the lines of "does not run in DOS mode"

Gah. Just figured I should post something as it has been a few days.
 
Ignore that!

I just tried the 2nd DDS link, worked fine:

UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.

  • hosts file:
    • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
    • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
    • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
    • However, it can slow down certain computers.
    • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
    Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
    If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
    1. [*]Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) [*]Click run [*]In the dialog box, type services.msc [*]hit enter, then locate dns client [*]Highlight it, then double-click it. [*]On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. [*]Click ok
  • Download and run Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) and fix its findings.
  • Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For more info, check this webpage out.
    If you don't have a 3rd party firewall or a router behind NAT then I recommend getting one. I recommend either Online Armor Free or Comodo Firewall Pro (If you choose Comodo: Uncheck during installation Install Comodo HopSurf.., Make Comodo my default search provider and Make Comodo Search my homepage and install firewall ONLY!). Both providers have support forums that help with configuration related questions.


Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.


Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade :cool:
 
Hi Blade,

There is also an .idx file called 3dba6c9a-55bfb443, do I delete this too?

Also, should I not run Combofix again until I uninstall Macafee (Can't disable it...I might try see if there are any firmware updates that fix the problem before I uninstall it)

Thanks.
 
Hi,

Leave that file there.

Also, should I not run Combofix again until I uninstall Macafee (Can't disable it...I might try see if there are any firmware updates that fix the problem before I uninstall it)
You may try to run the ComboFix /uninstall command in safe mode.
 
Dumb question:

do you mean run ComboFix while my computer is in Safe Mode

or

does ComboFix have a "Safe Mode"??
