Broni,

Had a shutdown again but it did not look like overheating(accord to temp). Forgot
to tell you something interesting. I have some (minor) programs on my desktop.
Since a while ago I have noticed that these program-icons have been marked by
a small shield(windows security-icons). They(shields) all disappeard a few "reboots" after Combofix ran! Only one shield is left on mbam-clean....exe. Interestingly all these
programs are virus- malware-programs!?

Disk response-time is now even worse. Between 1500-4000 ms per process/tread
during first 5 min or so. Before when I adjusted the processor-throttle I managed to lower the maximum freq from 100% to around mostly 50-60%. Now it is back to 100%
constantly.

Forgot to tell You it´s snowing and time is 3.13 AM here. Time to go to bed. I´m coming back with the results tomorrow.
 
Maybe I have, but now to the good news. I will do as you instructed me above in a moment. But first I can tell you that my fan tried to start directly when Combfix was finished. It did not succeed though but since this morning it is working fine. And, the
Adobe Flash update-program started in a second behind Combofix. I will update later.

You asked yesterday about improvements. I said I did not have any. But today my Firefox is working better than ever. I can now watch videos without constant small
delays:D. Great! FF in my Sandboxie is not on the same level. Hopefully I just have
to do the filedump out of the box?. I guess the overall feeling is also quite good really! Maybe even the startup-process(svchost) works a little better/faster! We will see.

Since I reinstalled OS I have had problems with MSE. The MsMpEng has gone wild
consuming a lot of memory which have resulted in 3 or 4 reinstallments of MSE.

Today the MSE icon where visible the whole time. Showing it is not inactive(real protection!) and hiding, I guess it should be visible all the time?

Everything is running faster today, definitely!

Icon-problem still not solved. Takes time every time I look into my folders!

Back shortly with new logs(y)
 
OTL Fix Run went fine but took a while(40 sec) for Firefox to get up running. Now I have 2 MSE-icons at program-tray down right(desktop). One of them is Sandboxi Control dressed like MSE. Things like this happens once now and then. Maybe
I should try a Windows Tweaking-program?

Broni, this time when (starting FF?) looking down on program-tray, only Network and Sound-icon is visible. And there are no other icon´s hiding! I closed FF between every
program. I will restart computer.
 
Before re-booting, todays downloads(OTL etc) where given small secuity-shields.
But when program-icon´s disappeard on tray the shields disappeard as well.
I noticed in TaskMgr that the Volume Shadow program was running. After
reboot everything looked normal except a un-normal increase of the processor rpm
just after log in.

How about these 2 dllhost-files which disappears in a few seconds every time I open TaskMgr?

I also got 2 identical Flash Player Plugins for FF. One of them is refering to Proxy-stub-channel? When I configured FF I did check it not to run connected to a Proxy-server. Perhaps this is something else?
 
The hidden Dmk-file is gone according to WinPatrol(y). I also had to remove AdAware(bp)-browsertool from startup(in WinPatrol). Program not seen in RevoUnistaller. Fan now running a bit unnormal. Gasing and braking type!
Shall test something memory-demanding.
 
I still got 2 csrss.exe files running as System-users on 2 PID´s. Her´s what Microsoft says about this file;

"It's normal to have one csrss.exe per user at the same time (say your user account and SYSTEM). It's also fine to have more than one in Windows/System32"

Worry if you have two instances running for the exact same user OR if the source of the running (or one of the running) csrss.exe file(s) is someplace other than Windows/System32.
 
I'm glad to hear some good news :)

Icon-problem still not solved. Takes time every time I look into my folders!
Give me more details.

User : Yxan is an old user before I did a restore. Not in use anymore.
You can remove it through Control, Panel>Users

User; Public? Whats that? Guest-account?
Legit

I still got 2 csrss.exe files running
Normal.

FSS log says:
The start type of Dnscache service is set to Disabled. The default start type is Auto.
Go Start and in "Start search" type:
services.msc
Press Enter.
Services window will open.
Right click on DNS Client service, click "Properties" and under "Startup type" select "Automatic" from drop-down menu.
Restart computer.
Post fresh FSS log.

...and Eset.
 
Fan never worked yesterday but amazingly there where no icon-problems either!
I relate at least some of my icon-problems with memory-shortage. Today my fan has been working for 8 hours 100% except for one hour recently when temp where allowed to stretch above and around 80 dgr C for shorter periods(but shutdowns).
(Yesterday there where constant shutdowns). Normally it stays around 50-60 dgr C. When I say icon problem I relate to Explorer and searching in folders. The other more strange behavior has to do with the desktop. The Windows-shields(icons) are back. All icon´s can also disappear when programs are executed some way or another. I.e when I deleted my network desktop-icons returned to standard MS icons! This happened during a period when the fan allowed high cpu-temp! 10 sec later they gradually returned. Maybe you then understand why I am not sure it is(only) a hardware-error(?). Fan worked every day without interuptions after OS reinstallment but started to malfunction around the time I found malware/ virus-infections(before restore). Still I had not visit bad sites or downloaded unknown stuff.

Why 2 identical(long specified commands) csrss.exe files running(Sessions)? I know it is perfectly normal with multiple csrss-files running but not with 2 identical users(System) when there is only one "interactive" user, me the owner(Ägaren)?

How about the 2 dllhost-files? They are also both runned under System-user- identity?

User "Yxan" which was "deleted"(by the restoring-process) when the OS was restored can not be found in Control Panel as a "USER"(under User´s). Do I have to do some registry-deletions here?

Could there be some relationship here between the two sets of exe-files above and two sets of USERS?

DNSCache was disabled by me to reduce the possibility of browser-redirections.
Maybe it´s wise to set the service to automatic? For the moment I have not experienced any problems though! It´s still disabled when you look at my FSS-log

At last another strange thing. As I told You before I have had different Firewall(Win) problems. Ports have been open for remote control and without logging and
warning-messages. In Windows Firewall you can list exceptions from the firewall-
blocking. This page(FW settings) today contains a lot of programs that are used for remote control. You just have to check a box to get a free unblocked passage through FW. And the same programs can not be deleted from this list.:eek:. Since restoring I have not seen I.e remote-control as an exception(or others). BUT the list is still there. A bit worrysome though.
 
Corretions of above: First section, 4th row;

".....80 dgr C for shorter periods(but shutdowns)."

Should of course be: (but no shutdowns).
 
Here´s a bad quality-image of the FW-Settings. The window contains the remote-type programs with respective boxes for the exception of FW-blocking. Directly below the window there are 4 buttons. The one far out right is the "DELETE"-button. It is GREYED OUT. No problem though to delete the Adaware-program just the other day

Look, you have to fix fan issue.
You've been killing your CPU.
Even running it at 60C you're pushing your luck.
Overheating can cause all kind of issues so that is solved we're not going anywhere else.
 
Very well Broni. I understand Your point. Too much heat produces unreliable software-issues etc. Ok! Fan starts at the moment at 55 dgr driving temp to 43. Looks like fan
now starts at this level repeatedly. Anyway there is still memory-issues.

I have really appreciated your help regarding the infections. Thank You. I had never managed by my self. (y)
