Hi, there,

We could have continued in your other thread, but we'll continue here if you'd like.

Spybot's TeaTimer is going to interfere with our tools, so we'll need to disable that until we are finished cleaning.

Go to Start>Run. Type Msconfig

Then click on OK.

In the next window that opens > Startup tab UNcheck the entry for TeaTimer until this is over...
1. Open Spybot
2. Click Mode > Advanced Mode
3. Click Yes
4. Click Tools (located in the bottom left corner) > Resident
5. Uncheck 'Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) active'
6. Then close Spybot.
Reboot.
Verify that TeaTimer is not running.
After ALL cleaning of your system has been completed and we have confirmed that your computer is clean, reverse these steps and re-enable the protection applets for TeaTimer.

Run Disk Cleanup in each user's profile: Click "Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup" Please make sure only the following are checked:

-- Downloaded Program Files

-- Temporary Internet Files

-- Recycle Bin

-- Temporary Files

Click "OK" and Disk Cleanup will delete those files for you.

Following that  please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware     and save it to your desktop.

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
• Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
• Then click Finish.

MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

• If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself.
• Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
• If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates,
• manually download them from here
  and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.
  Alternatively, you can update through MBAM's interface from a clean computer,
  copy the definitions (rules.ref) located in
  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes'
  Anti-Malware from that system to a usb stick or CD and then copy it to the infected machine.

On the Scanner tab:

• Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
• Then click on the Scan button.
• If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
• The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top.
• It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
  
• When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully.
• Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
  
• Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

Back at the main Scanner screen:

• Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
• The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and paste the contents of that report  into your next reply below and exit MBAM.

Note:-- If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,
you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process.
Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately.
Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

-- MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine.
If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes (like Spybot's Teatimer),
they may interfere with the fix or alert you after scanning with MBAM.
Please disable such programs until disinfection is complete or permit them to allow the changes.

**If you need to re-install MBAM but encounter issue in re-installing, try using the MBAM Cleanup Utility by downloading it from HERE

Feel free to post any questions if you need me to clarify any instructions.

Could also be a heat issue......check for dust  inside of computer and check to make sure fan is working.

NOTE: Only go inside of puter with power disconnected

Check task manager>processes tab to see if any program is running with high CPU %

Tom, we ask the posters on this forum not to do any procedures that we do not advise them to do and that they work with one trained helper per thread. If you would like to finish troubleshooting this issue, I'll let you continue so I can move on to helping others.. After cleaning any malware, Java needs to be removed/updated. Carry on. :emotion-1:

I don't know what that was with Tomron, I heard no more so I guess i'm in your hands.  I recognize your 'name' as having been involved early in the privious forum I posted, before Joe53 took over.  You want me to download and run Malwarebytes??  I went thru that about a week ago or so, that and SuperSpy; the full procedure, they found nothing my current programs missed.  Concerned I may have too many programs I uninstalled those two and went back to the AVG-AdAware and SpyBot I always had.  I did, however; save the install programs to a 'flash drive', if you want me to re-install Malware... maybe I can just pull it off there.  I apperciate any help I can get, and if you want me to go through the Malware.... procedure again I certainly will.  I just wanted to be sure you  knew I had already gone thru that.  Forgive me if my schedule of replying is erratic, current economic cond. have me grabbing any temp./odd job I can get, which makes any kind of schedule non-existant.

No problem with your schedule. We'll get to this when we can. I thought Tom might continue here, but as long as I'm here this evening, we'll go for it. You really would be better off removing Ad-aware and Spybot and keeping MBAM and SuperAnti-Spyware instead. In my opinion, both are superior to the others. Yes, please install both again. UPDATE them and run them. Follow that by posting their logs. Thanks.

** If you are keeping Spybot, please make sure TeaTimer is disabled per instructions above.

Here is the log from Malwarebytes you requested.  Sorry for the couple days, this thing was acting really bad Sat. and Sun. Locking up on any site I tried, even on itself when I wasn't on the Web..  When it starts locking up all I can do is shut it down and walk away!  I still have Tea Timer disabled, I think that is what you wish; or should I turn it back on now?

Can u please give me ur service tag so i can check the system specs???

Dodge Swinger DO NOT post your service tag #  Click on Edit and remove it.

The person who is asking for it should not be doing so.

Dodge Swinger I will work on my next reply for you and reply tomorrow. Thank you for waiting patiently.

Have u tried with any other browser like FireFox? If not then give it  a try.Can u let me know if u have added any new s/w?

Ah gee, I already posted service tag before I saw your message.  Tried to edit or remove, I don't think I was successful (don't know how)
