I reactivated virus protection.  Still having a hard time with using browser.  Attempted to load pictures into a listing on ebay as a test, and it would not load.  Also I noted that since all the tests my memory is excessively low.

In an earlier post, you stated storage devices can get infected.  My PC has an external hard drive connected through a USB port.  My external hard drive contains important files.  Are these scans also searching for Malware in my attached external hard drive?

What should I do next?

Please defrag your hard drive and report back when that is completed. If you need help with this, please let me know.

Performed the defrag.  Tested Firefox, still hangs and will not allow me to load an image into a listing.  Checked Internet Explorer and when I type in any website address, like Ebay, I get an error message that states, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage", and a link to diagnose  connection problems.  I did not click on the link.

Run the Diagnostic for IE. Download a new version of FF. Uninstall and re-install FF.

I provided the requested log in the above post.  I removed and reinstalled Firefox, this did not help.  I reset Firefox, this did not help.  I tried some different troubleshooting techniques within Firefox, to check extensions, etc..  What I noted is that the only extension I find is Microsoft.net frame assistant could not be verified for us in Firefox and has been disabled.  It shows it has not been updated since 2011, so I am not sure exactly when it was disabled.  Not sure if that presents a problem or not.  What I have found so far in the troubleshooting tests is that when I turn off hardware acceleration, I can load images in ebay, and I can log into Geek Police.  I attempted to see if there was an upgrade for my graphics driver, but apparently since this is to be done through Windows, I have to use IE, which is unusable at this time.

descriptionSolvedRe: Possible Malware

I am also running XP and I have found that IE is also very unstable. That is why I use FF and Chrome. Could you please try Chrome to see how that works for you? In the meantime, I will consult a colleague concerning this matter.

descriptionSolvedRe: Possible Malware

more_horiz
I tried Chrome, and I was able to open up Ebay and load images, and I was able to log into Geek Police and read my posts.  I did find two problems with Chrome, one at times Chrome lagged for a little while.  But, the biggest concern I had, was that I was redirected to a different site, and I wondered if there might still be Malware hiding somewhere.  In trouble shooting Firefox problems, I learned that I might need to upgrade my graphics driver.  In Firefox troubleshooting steps there was a link to click on to show me what to do to upgrade the driver.  I decided to view the page I was on in Chrome, so I could still view the instructions in case I needed to restart Firefox.  In Firefox, I copied the URL for the page I was on, and pasted it into Chrome.  The page loaded correctly and looked just like the page in Firefox.  I decided to click on the link in Chrome for the driver update.  I was taken to what appeared to be the Yahoo Search engine with a list of links to click on to download the driver update.  I clicked on one and it loaded, but then I decided not to open it for it to download.  I instead removed it from the download list.  I went back to Firefox and clicked on the same link, and it took me to a page of directions on how to go to the start menu within my computer, and update the driver within my computer which would update through IE since it was a Windows item.  So it seemed Chrome was redirecting me to potentially harmful downloads.  I did a Malwarebytes scan after, and nothing was found.

You should only download drivers from the site of the maker of your computer.

I'd like to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan

•Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
ESET OnlineScan

•Click the Possible Malware - Page 2 EsetOnline button.
•For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)


  • Click on Possible Malware - Page 2 EsetSmartInstall to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on the Possible Malware - Page 2 EsetSmartInstallDesktopIcon-1 icon on your desktop.

•Check Possible Malware - Page 2 EsetAcceptTerms
•Click the Possible Malware - Page 2 EsetStart button.
•Accept any security warnings from your browser.


  • Leave the check mark next to Remove found threats.

•Check Possible Malware - Page 2 EsetScanArchives
•Push the Start button.
•ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
•When the scan completes, push Possible Malware - Page 2 EsetListThreats
•Push Possible Malware - Page 2 EsetExport, and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.

Hello there, this has been escalated to me... Once the steps above have been complete, please follow these directions...

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.


  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please copy and paste log back here.
  • The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.

The ESET program has other options, than described above.  Should I not select any other options than Remove Found Threats, and Scan Archives.  An image is attached for you to see what I am referring to.
