We do not accept donations. If you really want to give back then pick your favorite charity and send them something. If you do not have a favorite, two of mine are American Cancer Society and Make A Wish Foundation.

We have a little more to do.

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar
  ) and choose Paste.
• Now click the large button.
• If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
• Close OTM.

Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
this log file to your next message.

Now please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Note: That JRT may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
• the JRT.TXTlog
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome.

Also a good choice.


Okay we have a little more cleanup to do. Even one item is a left over service from McAfee Firewall. However before continuing, I need to ask, are you using McAfee Firewall or were you using the Windows Firewall. The McAfee Firewall shows up in your installed programs list as Shared C Run-time for x64 which is quite stupid if you ask me. An application should show up with its proper name and this name has no meaning at all to anyone.

 

You're welcome.

Okay then we will remove it.

Uninstall Shared C Run-time for x64 if you see it. If you do not see it, just continue on anyway.

You're welcome. I need those follow up logs. You forgot to attach them. Make sure that you have run the GetLogs.bat program before trying to attach MGlogs.zip, otherwise you will not have a new log and it will not attach.

 

It is probably as good as the next. Who is best any given time varies based upon last updates. I will warn you to be careful with the tweaking tools built in. Cleaning the registry is something we strongly recommend against. More frequently it can cause more harm than good and many times the harm does not show for awhile. And I'm not a big fan of other tweaks that supposedly improve PC performance. Many times the performance change is negliable and they are all things you can do yourseld and with more control over what is done. Sometimes it is just good to live by the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I have seen many computers that are actually running slower after using tweaking tools. Malware prevention does not come under this saying, but tweaking does.

Your logs are clean.


If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
3. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
5. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
6. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
8. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
9. If you are running Win 8, Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below to flush restore points:
   • Refer to the instructions for your WIndows version in this link: Disable And Enable System Restore​
   • What we want you to do is to first disable System Restore to flush restore points some of which could be infected.
   • Then we want you to Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!
