    Hi Most of the issues and scam programs have stopped but I suspect there's still things running in the background.

    When running MGTools Processdll.exe had to be terminated because it generated an exception which could not be handled. Please see screen shot:

    Thanks

    First, rerun Hitman and have it fix everything it found. Then rerun RogueKiller and click on the "Schedules Tasks" tab and remove the two items.

    Reboot and rescan with both Hitman and Roguekiller and attach the two new logs.

    [​IMG] 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.
    • 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.

    Hi TimW

    There are still a few issues. First it takes forever to boot, once its done "Advanced registry Optimizer 2010" pops up asking me to buy it to fix problems.

    I did have one ad popup in google while coming here, not too bad but would like to get rid of it if possible.

    Also, im not sure if this is related to the malware but the uninstall programs in windows is acting a bit funky. Firstly there are strange entrys like "status" and "Scan" and your unable to uninstall alot of programs even the legit ones. please see screenshot below:

    Thanks for your help with this. Much appreciated

    I have not tried t, will give it a go. Do you think it's likely to remove advanced registry optimizer 2010?

    Please run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).Make sure that you watch for the license agreement for TrendMicro HijackThis and click on the Accept button TWICE to accept ( yes twice ).
    Then attach the below logs:

    * C:\MGlogs.zip

    You're welcome.

    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.
    2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
