Hello! I am a new user and I have created an account to learn more about fixing my own computer and to solve its specific issues. I'm not sure where to post certain questions since I don't know what is the chief problem. Basically, my computer keeps freezing and my anti-virus and anti-malware software are not picking up viruses. CCleaner also doesn't make any improvements. In these circumstances the ability to use CTRL+ALT+DEL also fails and I often have to fix the wireless adapter in the network settings in control panel. My primary internet browser is Mozilla Firefox 42.0. My computer also runs very hot and freezes after more than a few hours of use.

I believe that the computer and internet hangs are due to something operating within the internet software apparatus within my computer. When the freezing is at its worst, I must utilize a cold boot and forcefully turn off the computer manually.

I have other problems such as the system properties area crashing every time I attempt to access it. It also doesn't run the fastest.

I have downloaded AdwCleaner to work alongside the other Malwarebytes. I'm just waiting for your response and instructions before I do anything more.

Hello and welcome to GeekPolice.Net My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.

I was not allowed to post my logs from AdwCleaner or Junkware Removal Tool due to new members not being able to submit messages with emails or external links. Furthermore, I was unable to download Security Check by Screen 317 because of "insufficient permissions" The attempts repeatedly failed.

I do have the logs of AdwCleaner and Junkware Removal Tool and will have to send them to you another way

Just remove any links from the logs and then post them.

I cannot access securitycheck-.bat, even in safe mode.  When I went to the site on the first link and second link on Firefox, I get this message

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at .

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

When I try the first link on Google Chrome (and for the second, I do access the site but I end up back at the following screen if I actually click on the link to download this), I get this message:

This webpage is not available

Clicking on the Link has the same result.

The re-done logs on Junkware Removal Tool and AdwCleaner produced no new results.

I believe that there is something wrong with the applications, hardware, or software on Firefox or the other Internet browsers. I'm not sure what to do at this point though.
