Getting anymore alerts? How is the computer running altogether?

There are no more alerts and the computer is running slightly faster. In general though most of my games and programs run at the same speed as after the virus infected my computer.

Thank You

Hi! Your logs appear to be clean. If there are no more issues, then we shall clean up!

Clean up System Restore

Now, to get you off to a clean start, we will be creating a new Restore Point, then clearing the old ones to make sure you do not get reinfected, in case you need to "restore back."

To manually create a new Restore Point

  • Go to Control Panel and select System and Maintenance
  • Select System
  • On the left select Advance System Settings and accept the warning if you get one
  • Select System Protection Tab
  • Select Create at the bottom
  • Type in a name i.e. Clean
  • Select Create
Now we can purge the infected ones
  • Go back to the System and Maintenance page
  • Select Performance Information and Tools
  • On the left select Open Disk Cleanup
  • Select Files from all users and accept the warning if you get one
  • In the drop down box select your main drive i.e. C
  • For a few moments the system will make some calculations:

Run OTC to remove our tools

To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created, please do the following:
Please download OTC.exe by OldTimer:
  • Save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click OTC.exe.
  • Click the CleanUp! button.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  • The tool will delete itself once it finishes.

Note: If any tool, file or folder (belonging to the program we have used) hasn't been deleted, please delete it manually.

Purge old temporary files

Once old versions are gone, please install the newest version.

Yeah it's working much better now. There's definitely an improvement. It's still not as good as it used to be, at least I don't think it is, but it's working fine at the moment.

Thanks for all the help. You've really saved me a lot of time and effort. I'm pretty clueless about computers so it would have taken at least 6months to get it fixed. Thanks again, I really appreciate the help.
