    It's MGtools not MC tools.

    Reinstalling will not help if you have something hooked into Chrome as the objects typically stay behind in the folders for Chrome and possibly registry keys. You need to complete clean these up too. But try the below instead.

    Reset Chrome to Defaults


    Now please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.
    • Run OTM.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7 or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).
    • Copy the lines from the below codebox to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C
      (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy): Do not include the word Code: which is just a title line of
      the code box
    Code:
    :Processes
    explorer.exe
    
    :Files
    C:\Windows\Temp\*.*
    C:\Users\Leo\AppData\Local\Temp\*.*
    :Reg
    [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Conduit]
    [-HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2766806204-3521191122-3825124717-1000\Software\Conduit]
    [-HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2766806204-3521191122-3825124717-1000\Software\Softonic]
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes]
    "DefaultScope"="{0633EE93-D776-472f-A0FF-E1416B8B2E3A}"
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{6A1806CD-94D4-4689-BA73-E35EA1EA9990}]
    :Commands
    [purity]
    [EmptyTemp]
    [start explorer]
    [Reboot]
    • 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 http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/MoveIt!.png 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.TXT log
    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    I had a really bad trojan or something,I thought it was going for any usb I put in,as they stopped working after I put them in to save infomation and believed I had been written off on this forum.
    So I did a reinstall of windows 7:(

    I don't think so. As stated, I believe it was just a file or two in your browser cache or possibly even in system restore. I really do not think you had an active infection.

    And the settings changes to Chrome were likely just due to an addon to Chrome that was installed. The reset of Chrome to defaults would have addressed this.

    Why? There was a 13 hr turn around on answering your last message to provide a fix ( the bumping cost you more time delay - messages 5 and 6 cause you to bump to the bottom of the queue twice as explain in the sticky threads. ). This is not very long at all. It is just a matter of when we can be here to answer.
