Noob question re: AIM & accepting files

Hi and Welcome to Majorgeeks!

No question is stupid so never worry about posting what you may think is an easy question for many, if you dont know the answer then you dont know it, so much better to ask and here at Majorgeeks we will not ridicule you for such questions, in fact we like them and are always willing to help those not fully PC aware to learn more. If you have hit block and stopped the transfer then its not going to save or run on your PC, you would for them to add malware to your PC have had to accept the download and run/open it.

My one question to them if they did say they had access to my personal files is to prove it and tell me whats in a specific location/folder.


But to fully put your mind at rest and also find out if you are indeed malware free we woudl have to ask you to run the below and attach the logs requested, this will show to our malware experts if indeed you are infected and with what.

Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide plus a guide on how to attach the logs HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post

 

Your logs look clean.

We can do a few things to clean up:

Use add/remove programs and uninstall:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10"
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_03"
Java(TM) 6 Update 2"
Java(TM) 6 Update 3"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6 Update 1

Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

1. If we used ComboFix then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
2.
* Click START then RUN
* Now type "%userprofile%\Desktop\cf" /u in the runbox and click OK.
* Note: The space between the cf and the /U, it must be there.
3. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
4. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
5. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
* Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
* Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
6. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

Right click My Computer / properties / system restore tab....check the turn off system restore ...apply/ok out and reboot ...then go back to the restore tab and uncheck the box if it is checked.

But since your system is not having problems ...it is not necessary to do.
