    OTL will quit responding in regular mode. I tried safe mode and it quit responding immediately. Please let me know if I need to try another way. this is what I got from the longest run in regular mode:

  10. Broni Malware Annihilator Posts: 39,360   +175

    Run TFC from safe mode.

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

    Update Adobe Flash Player
    Download for Internet Explorer: http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_ie_64/
    Download for [/b]Firefox, Opera and other Gecko-based browsers[/b]: http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox_64/

    NOTE 1: Beginning with Adobe Flash Version 11.3, the universal installer includes the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Flash Player.
    NOTE 2: While installing make sure you UN-check any extra garbage which wants to install alongside.

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

    Update Adobe Reader

    You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
    After installing the latest Adobe Reader, uninstall all previous versions (if present).
    Note. If you already have Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition installed or do not wish to have it installed UNcheck the box which says Also Download Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition.

    Alternatively, you can uninstall Adobe Reader (33.5 MB), download and install Foxit PDF Reader(3.5MB) from HERE.
    It's a much smaller file to download and uses a lot less resources than Adobe Reader.
    Note: When installing FoxitReader, make sure to UN-check any pre-checked toolbar, or any other garbage.

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

    1. Update your Java version here: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.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: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. If you don't want to run another extra service, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and restart your computer.

    2. Now, we need to remove old Java version and its remnants...

    Download JavaRa to your desktop and unzip it.
    • Run JavaRa.exe (Vista users! Right click on JavaRa.exe, click Run As Administrator), pick the language of your choice and click Select. Then click Remove Older Versions.
    • Accept any prompts.
    • Do NOT post JavaRa log.

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

    Your computer is clean [IMG]

    1. We need to reset system restore to prevent your computer from being accidentally reinfected by using some old restore point(s). We'll create fresh, clean restore point, using following OTL script:

    Run OTL

    • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following:

    Code:
    :OTL
    :Commands
    [purity]
    [emptytemp]
    [EMPTYFLASH]
    [emptyjava]
    [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
    [Reboot]
    • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
    • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
    • Post resulting log.

    2. Now, we'll remove all tools, we used during our cleaning process

    Clean up with OTL:

    • Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
    • Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
    • On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
    • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.

    If you still have any tools or logs leftover on your computer you can go ahead and delete those off of your computer now.

    3. Make sure, Windows Updates are current.

    4. 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!

    5. 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 "Launch a quick scan now" link)

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

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

    8. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) weekly.

    9. Download and install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI): http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/. 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.

    10. (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.

    11. (Windows XP only) Run defrag at your convenience.

    12. 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.

    13. Read:
    How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic2520.html
    Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe and secure on the Internet: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/keep-your-computer-safe-online/

    14. Please, let me know, how your computer is doing.
  11. iH8scams Newcomer, in training Posts: 38

    TFC will not run in safe mode either. gets about 20 seconds in and stops responding
  12. iH8scams Newcomer, in training Posts: 38

    Ok. I updated java and adobe programs.

    OTC will continue not responding as well. in regular and safe modes.

    computer seems to be running well.
  13. iH8scams Newcomer, in training Posts: 38

    I am wondering if I should ad more RAM and that will help with the not responding issues and overall speed up everything
  14. iH8scams Newcomer, in training Posts: 38

    OK. I tried to check windows updates and it gives me error: Windows Update encountered an unknown error. Code 800700005
  15. Broni Malware Annihilator Posts: 39,360   +175

    Download Windows Repair (all in one) from this site

    Install the program then run it.

    Go to Step 2 and allow it to run CheckDisk by clicking on Do It button:

    [IMG]



    Once that is done then go to Step 3 and allow it to run System File Check by clicking on Do It button:

    [IMG]


    Go to Step 4 and under "System Restore" click on Create button:

    [IMG]


    Go to Start Repairs tab and click Start button.

    [IMG]


    Please ensure that ONLY items seen in the image below are ticked as indicated (they're all checked by default):

    [IMG]

    Click on box next to the Restart System when Finished. Then click on Start.
  16. iH8scams Newcomer, in training Posts: 38

    Ok. all done.

    seems to be running good.

    still get "catalyst control host error" on reboot,

    besides that seems smooth.

    I am goiing to upgrade to 8gb ram today
  17. Broni Malware Annihilator Posts: 39,360   +175

    Very well :)

    Catalyst Control is a part of your video driver.
    You can either reinstall video driver (go to your computer manufacturer site to download new driver) or you can disable Catalyst Control as a startup. It's not needed for proper functioning of your video.
    If you don't have enough RAM it's even better if it's not running.

    Good luck and stay safe :)
