Slow Running Desktop, Problems With Win Updates, Dropping Slave Drives

juntuo · Oct 2, 2016

Win 7 machine having problem with Windows update 80070002, I have stopped update in services and removed data then restarted. Every time I restart machine it wants to update, gives me errors sometimes having to unplug machine and restart again. Once machine gets past win splash screen I get message that machine is updating, it gets to 35% then fails, reverts and boots. Upon boot I see windows has dropped my slave drive, rebooting is mind numbing as it can take as long as ten minuets. I cannot seem to rid this virus. Please help and I thank you in advance for any help you can send my way.

When it is finished, there will be a log on your desktop called: RKreport[2].txt
Attach RKreport[2].txt to your next message. (How to attach)
Reboot the machine.

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.

Run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista, Windows7 or Win8) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.
Let me know how things are running!

Computer is responding much better, boot is faster but still says it is updating files. Shows 2 of 5892 then sends me to boot screen. This process would take more than five minuets, now it boots in less than two. Web pages do not give me the error of "Not Responding" or the option to wait only to have to reboot. Music player is still a bit sketchy, it will play for a bit then stutter and have to be shut down. Over all things are so much better, thank you so much for your help!

Re run RogueKiller please.. just a scan, and upload fresh log.

juntuo · Oct 5, 2016

Fresh logs, thank you!

You're welcome.

Delete this:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ParetoLogic

I suggest you persue any software issues in the software forum.

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

We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.

Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.

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.

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.

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.

Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
