    Welcome to TS. Your problem statement is helpful, and similar to others. I am trying to anticipate your needs. You are now facing dificulties.

    In case of difficulty, attempt this method
    Note: one user reported the need to restart in safe mode with networking, as the relief was temporary. This refers to message #1.
    Additional note: Message #3 link to 'fixit download' has demonstrated its effectiveness in many cases. Go to message # 3 'fixit download'

    Other: As part of your response, please feedback which method was effective. Message #1 is for the specific named trojan, and message # 3 has broader coverage.


    Genreal Remark: - React to unanswered items appearing in scan logs
    • NO Action’ - Remove Selected when offered by MBAM
    • 'Delete on Reboot’ - Restart the computer after concluding the scan
    Proceeding along a typical path.
    • Update both MBAM & SAS. Rerun them both.
    • This effort is complete when logs report NO infections/threats, or reporting something it can not clean.
    • Restart the computer. Scan with HJT.
    • Posts logs. Report progress & what changes are observed.
