    I am blocked from many settings on my computer by group policy. Regular user account disappeared & I had to create a new one last week. I can't update drivers or delete Windows games or other components. Generic monitors, PS2 mouse and standard PS2 keyboard keep installing. Malware removal logs attached from RogueKiller, Malwarebytes and 2 of 3 from TDSSKiller. Third TDSS file will be broken into two sections and posted with HitmanPro and MGTools logs. System info:

    Welcome to Major Geeks!
    You are not having malware problems. Your logs are clean. You probably broke a few thinks because you disabled things with MSconfig that you should not be touching. Run Msconfig and put your PC back into Normal Startup mode and then reboot and see if that helps with your problems. Other than that, I suggest that you post in the Software Forum if you need help with non-malware issues.


    Since you are not having any 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:

    Thank you very much for the quick reply. I will follow your advice but the kicker is that I neither made changes with MSConfig nor set up to be part of a domain. [sigh] Again, thank you for looking at my submission.

    You're welcome.

    Someone did! Your logs do not lie. All the below are stopped via MSconfig

    I followed your steps and things seem to be running better, although I still can't reactivate my other user account. I will study more and try to figure out how I came to be part of a domain I know nothing about. Thank you again.
