Constant Memory Issues - Win 7

Hi there,

Just to summarize my issues.

I normally have a lot open on my computer, but even with lots of tabs & windows with FB & YT I am still able to go 2 weeks without having to reboot due to low memory.

In the last month+ I can reboot & within 1-3 days I'm low on memory plus the computer keeps switching to different windows on its own & yet I'm technically still on the window I was on before. A friend pointed that out to me.

What's worse is that I no longer have all the windows & tabs I used to have open, so I have way less open than normal.

I have ESET which should have prevented anything from coming through, but it's been a while since anyone has combed the computer with these different cleaning programs.

After running all of them except for MGTools, I'm now having a problem with getting to the computer folder on my computer where I store all of the log files.

I click on it through Win Explorer & it just gives me a blank area. I have to click over & over again to show me the folders that were there before. I realize now it's just taking forever to pull in the folders.

So I ran all of the software, but on this page here - https://forums.majorgeeks.com/threa...10-malware-removal-cleaning-procedure.139681/ (see SS - https://nimb.ws/PiroqO - the link is dead). There's also several images missing from that page as well and the instructions appear to be outdated, but I got them all working.

I didn't get anything showing up for MBAM. I have the premium version, but after investing in ESET, I was told I couldn't have MBAM so I stopped using it. I just used the one from their site so I didn't have to hunt for the key.

I can't do the MGTools right now b/c I can't reboot, so I'm just providing everything else for now.

Thank you

 

Hi,

Is ADWCleaner this? Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

B/c I already gave you that.

Thanks

 

Sorry, I forgot to attach it. I had already done it.

 

Ok, I don't think it found anything.

Here you go...

So what did it find before? I mean was it bad?

Thanks

 

So I tried to run it again b/c there was an update & I was barely able to do anything on my computer while it was running & I normally never have a problem doing simple things while a scan is running, so I'm pretty sure there's still an issue.

I thought things were better yesterday, but I couldn't even type just now.

My ESET sub is coming up for renewal & I no longer want them since I'm going thru this hell.

What do you recommend?

I do hope to be moving to Linux soon, but in the meantime plus on my other computer I need something.

I'll let you know how things are going in the next few days.

Thanks

 

Ok, so I still have to scan the other drives, but I clicked on the reports icon on the left nav & it doesn't show me the date of the report so I can't open anything & yes, it found 9 things.

Here's a SS - https://mega.nz/#!9l83yI5R!Y5X8tffrckiq7rkTfdnlZWAEbRR5JokFy8RHdj2_cjI

 

No it's not empty. If you click above the DL button you can see the menu from the program & how yes, the date that you said should be there isn't.

Let me see if I can somehow do that, but I don't think so.

 

Ok, I took a SS of what's listed. Does that help? https://mega.nz/#!pwk1lTDK!05Bdvx0zrQqBeJoT4x3dp5lt0Qev9GathY0EqoOAaug

That's from the home button, not the reports area which is blank.

Thanks

 

LOL, you didn't tell me to remove them. Should I?

 

So my website coder took a look at those files & he says they are supposed to be there. They are files that Brave uses to block ads & malicious websites.

So should I unquarentine them?

Computer is still lagging.

 

And he looked at the Rogue Killer file & 90% of what it found was Ultra VNC which is a legitimate tool.

Don't you know what that is?

I noticed that somewhere but was too tired at the time to realize that's what you were going to have me delete.

So that's why the computer is still causing problems, b/c nothing toxic was found.

The other part it found was search engines. SEs aren't toxic.

 

I'm not monitoring a computer. It's when someone else needs to come onto my computer. Just like Teamviewer.

As for me running sites, that has nothing to do with my issues.

Thanks
