[Cnt-Face]

Went on a week vacation, came back, and my PC was in shambles. This red x issue is one of a few. But let's start there. Here's my HijackThis log.

Let's get the worst off first

Download and Install SDFix

• Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.
• Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
  (Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Boot into Safe Mode

• Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard.
• Select the Safe Mode option when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press ENTER.

Run SDFix

• Open the extracted SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
• Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
• It will remove any Trojan Services and Registry Entries that it finds then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
• Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
• When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
• Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt
• Attach Report.txt back here with a fresh hijackthis log
