Hi,

I have followed the advice from forums such as this (thank you all for trying to help folks like me), including booting-up in Safe Mode and using Malwarebytes to get rid of the problem, but the Antivirus Suite pop-ups always keep coming back. Searches with tools such as Avast, Sophos, PC Doctor, Antispyware, Malwarebytes just don't seem to find all of the infections, even though I believe I am using fully updated versions of the tools.

What might I be doing wrong? Could it be that scanning while in Safe Mode is not as effective? Also, should the 'quick scan' option be sufficient to detect all infections, or should I always [also] run full scans, just to be sure? I have always been running the full scans, which have taken several hours(!), depending on the software.

Finally, the computer is now taking about 7-10 minutes to boot-up normally, vs. much less time previously. It seems to be starting/loading-up many more programs when booting. What's the best way to trim this?

Thanks very much in advance for any help you can provide!
Loozn

Download OTL by OldTimer to your Desktop.

  • Close all windows and double click OTL.exe
  • Click Run Scan and let the program run uninterrupted
  • It will produce two logs for you, one will pop up - OTL.txt, the other will be saved on your Desktop - Extras.txt. Post both logs in this thread.
  • You may need to use two posts to get it all.
