Removed virus/malware, no task manager

[kimsland]

I had to look back over the thread
But can you just run CCleaner Registry scan and fix, until there are no more issues to fix (basically you need to run and fix the entries a few times in a row)

Then Restart (Windows requires this)

Then run a HJT scan and logfile again
Then attach >

the log to a new reply

Note there may be some more things that kritius wants you to do
And we still have to clean up a little (including removing Restore Points)

If you are done with me, then I thank you very much sir for your commitment to me and your knowledge.
I will await kritius

Never ever use CCleaner to "fix" the registry, all you will end up doing is fragmenting it.

Please download AVP Tool by Kaspersky.

• Save it to your desktop.
• Reboot your computer into SafeMode.

You can do this by restarting your computer and continually tapping the F8 key until a menu appears. Use your up arrow key to highlight SafeMode then hit enter.

• Double click the setup file to run it.
• Click Next to continue.
• It will by default install it to your desktop folder. Click Next.
• Hit ok at the prompt for scanning in Safe Mode.
• It will then open a box. There will be a tab that says Automatic scan.
• Under Automatic scan make sure these are checked.

• 
  [*] System Memory
  [*] Startup Objects
  [*] Disk Boot Sectors.
  [*] My Computer.
  [*] Also any other drives (Removable that you may have)

After that click on Security level then choose Customize, click on the tab that says Heuristic Analyzer then choose Enable Deep rootkit search then ok. Choose OK again to go back to the main screen.

• Click on Scan at the top right hand Corner.
• It will automatically Neutralize any objects found.
• If some objects are left un-neutralized then click the button that says Neutralize all
• If it says it cannot be Neutralized then choose the delete option when prompted.
• After that is done click on the reports button at the bottom and save it as Kas to the desktop
• Post only the detected Virus\malware in the report, it will be at the very top under Detected

Note: This tool will self uninstall when you close it so please remember to save the log before closing it.​

Hey, I found a free Registry Defrag program here as well: http://www.registry-clean.net/free-registry-defrag.htm
Don't download the "Clean Registry" though, just the defrag
I searched and used it, straight after kritius comments above, seeming I use CCleaner all the time
My computer has not seemed to change in performance or anything though, but the Registry is all defragged now, so that's good

Edit:
Oh I uninstalled it after use

defragged

Reg defrag is done, couldnt find any log if you needed one. It went from like 4.3 to 4.1 kb or something. I probably just made that up but the numbers look familiar

 

[kimsland]

Well again, to me it looks complete

 

[4d4m]

alright, thanks again for your help. ill wont do anything crazy until your partner gives a ok go!

 

[kritius]

Should be ok.
