Solved Conduit found by adwcleaner. Still not acting right.

USB version has nothing to do with power. It's about transfer speed. USB 3.0 hard drive should be accessible if connected through 2.0 port.
I strongly suggest you check your drive on some other computer.
Is your data drive E?
==================== Drives ================================

Drive c: (OS) (Fixed) (Total:186.3 GB) (Free:112.09 GB) NTFS ==>[system with boot components (obtained from drive)]
Drive d: (Data) (Fixed) (Total:258.34 GB) (Free:257.9 GB) NTFS

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop.
NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system

Run FRST(FRST64) and press the Fix button just once and wait.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply.

It does not work in 2.0, and yes it does draw more power from the cpu to run the higher speed. It needs to be a 3.0 port and I'm the only one with that. The drive did designate E: for the external hard drive. The computer won't read it to show E: on file explorer. It did before the scans, now it only does it at boot, as I've discovered today. It used to act just like any other removable drive that could be plugged in whenever, which it did prior to scans, and is what I want back. Something changed a registry key or deleted one, but I don't know how to fix all that.

What does it say about drive E?
 
Not sure what you're looking for in regards to what it says about E: so here's a screenshot.
6y2mzH1.jpg
 
I only have one 3.0 port, and as I said, 2.0 ports do not recognize it due to lack of power. I tried 2.0 ports in 2 different computers. It reads like it's a solid state drive now, not plug and play, and the scans are what changed it. It's the ONLY thing that changed between the time that it did plug and play and the fact that it's not now. Having it load up like it's inside the computer is not an external hard drive.
 
Does the drive show up in Device Manger?
Do you see any errors in Device Manager?
 
I don't know what I'd be looking for, for errors. Device manager is just a list of things pertaining to the computer? I don't use it, there for I don't know it. I don't see the external in the list either.

Edit: I do see it under disk drives, but still don't know how to check errors in device manager
 
IF there are errors you'll see them right away as yellow question marks or exclamation marks.
 
Go back to Device Manager, expand USB controllers section, right click on "USB 3.0 host controller", click "Uninstall".
Restart computer and it'll reinstall itself automatically.
See about hard drive reading.
 
Cool :)

Update your Java version here: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/6463-java-se.html
Alternate download: http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Note 1: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.
Note 2: If you're running 64-bit system make sure you install BOTH, 32-bit and 64-bit Java.

===============================

Your computer is clean

1. This step will remove all cleaning tools we used, it'll reset restore points (so you won't get reinfected by accidentally using some older restore point) and it'll make some other minor adjustments...
This is a very crucial step so make sure you don't skip it.
Download
51a5ce45263de-delfix.png
DelFix by Xplode to your desktop. Delfix will delete all the used tools and logfiles.

Double-click Delfix.exe to start the tool.
Make sure the following items are checked:
  • Activate UAC (optional; some users prefer to keep it off)
  • Remove disinfection tools
  • Create registry backup
  • Purge System Restore
  • Reset system settings
Now click "Run" and wait patiently.
Once finished a logfile will be created. You don't have to attach it to your next reply.

2. Make sure Windows Updates are current.

3. If any trojans, rootkits or bootkits were listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately!

4. Check if your browser plugins are up to date.
Firefox - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
other browsers: https://browsercheck.qualys.com/ (click on "Scan without installing plugin" and then on "Scan now")

5. Download, and install WOT (Web OF Trust): http://www.mywot.com/. It'll warn you (in most cases) about dangerous web sites.

6. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.

7. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC), AdwCleaner and Junkware Removal Tool (JRT) weekly (you need to redownload these tools since they were removed by DelFix).

8. Download and install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI): https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4898-secunia-personal-software-inspector-psi.html. The Secunia PSI is a FREE security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs and plug-ins which expose your PC to attacks. Run it weekly.

9. (optional) If you want to keep all your programs up to date, download and install FileHippo Update Checker.
The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases.

10. When installing\updating ANY program, make sure you always select "Custom " installation, so you can UN-check any possible "drive-by-install" (foistware), like toolbars etc., which may try to install along with the legitimate program. Do NOT click "Next" button without looking at any given page.
