    Credit card got a false charge AND a couple days ago I got one of those 6 digit bank account codes texted to me twice. Reported the card and going this full scan & change ids passwords.

    By they way, your mgtools can't run on the latest win 10 update probably won't allow dos bat files.

    Use ADWCleaner to remove these items:

    ***** [ Registry ] *****

    Adware.pokki HKU\S-1-5-19\Software\Host App Service
    Adware.pokki HKU\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Host App Service
    Adware.pokki HKU\S-1-5-20\Software\Host App Service
    Adware.pokki HKU\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Host App

    Reboot and rescan with ADW....then:

    Please download the latest version of FRST the below link.
    Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.


    Note: Make sure you download the proper version ( 32 bit or 64 bit ) for your PC. Only one will run, the correct one. So it you make a mistake and download the wrong one, go back and get the other.
    • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
    • Press Scan button.
    • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your next reply.
    • The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.

    I'll look into the MGTools issue.

    I downloaded MGTools.exe and moved it to my desktop. Right clicked and "Ran as administrator". My system is currently updated to the latest version...it ran and completed as it should. Can you tell me what issue you had with it?

    pokki will do that to you. I don't recall if we still have a donate button...I'll have to check.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. 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.
    3. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have re-enabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    4. Now go to the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 or 10 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.
    5. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    6. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
