As for the CBS.log, when I put in the navigation string, it comes up (with a chime) "access denied". When I search for CBS.log, nothing comes up.
 
I am using the computer a bit more now and everything seems to be working fine. The rest of that error message at start up:
Warning
Error Saving File
C:\Windows\ERDNT\Autobackup\8-22-11\BCD!
Continue with next file?
[RegCreate Key Ex:5-Acces is Denied]
Yes
No

Clicking Yes just makes the message reappear, Clicking No makes it go away. I will be away from the computer a day or two but will be checking in.
Thanks again.
 
Hello Samwise

The error message you are receiving relates to ERUNT (the software you use to automatically back up your registry).

Please uninstall ERUNT and then reinstall it. Once re-installed, configure it to your preferred settings then restart your machine and let me know if you receive the same error message.
 
Thanks JonTom

Hi, I was able to stay in town. The reboot went fine, no error messages. Is everything okay now?(please?)

Also, please provide guidance on some of the desktop icons I now have:

Erunt Setup
Security Check Shortcut
Q3-PCMCI
X16-32007
Malwarebyte-Anti-Malware
ESET-Scan
MSE Install-Shortcut

Hello Samwise

I'm glad the re-installation solved the problem.

Is everything okay now?(please?)
Click to expand...
:D:

If everything is running smoothly I believe we are just about done. Lets remove the tools we used in the steps below:


  1. Please Uninstall Combofix

    • Hold down the Windows key (has the Windows symbol on it) and press the "R" key.
    • A Run box will open.
    • Type combofix /uninstall in the run box and click "OK". Please note the space between the "x" and the "/Uninstall", it needs to be there.

  2. Removal of Tools

    • You no longer need DDS, Security Check or SystemLook. Please delete them from your machine.
    • All old scan logs can also be deleted, along with the MSE Installers.
    • ESET can be deleted/uninstalled if you wish.
    • MBAM and TFC are yours to keep.
    • NTREGOPT is a part of ERUNT and should be kept safe.

    As for Q3-PCMCI and X16-32007, I never had you use anything by those names (Q3-PCMCI - could possible be related to PCMCIA backup device and X16-32007 related to Office 2010 perhaps)?

    Once you have completed the above steps you should be good to go! If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask.

  3. Finally, please take the time to read through the information provided below:

Everything seems fine. I think I went overboard on step 3 last time, so I don't really need to do anything else. I will browse with Mozilla, use Avira, and ms defender, as well as spybot. I will also work on keeping the software updated as I think this thing entered in via a java script. As for the passwords suggested by the site, I have not found anywhere that they would be accepted as they are too complex for most secure websites I use. However, I have strengthened mine considerably.

If everything goes fine for the next couple of weeks, I would like to make a donation in your honor. Thank you for your diligence and perseverance in helping me with this ***p!:crowned:

:thanks:
 
Since this problem appears to be resolved this topic is now closed.

Glad we could help :)

Best wishes
JonTom
