    I started doing the read me and xp clean up but I got to the part of installing the SuperAnti spyware and it wouldnt install. So I started searching out other the threads and found one. I stared working my way through the process, but it started getting specific to the computer so I stopped. I ran the mgTools. Here is the log file. (I hope)

    Hi FairlaneFam,
    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    I would like to start you with three different things. Please do them in the order listed:

    1) Please go back to the READ & RUN ME FIRST and install CCleaner and run it at the default setting with the Windows tab as the one on top.

    2) After you do that, please scroll down to the bottom of the READ & RUN ME page and choose the instructions for your operating system. In the page that opens up, look for the link called Running Combofix and see if you are able to download and run that.

    3) After that, try running Malwarebyte Anti-Malware as was requested.

    4) After trying and hopefully also having some success completing both of the above, please run C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat and attach the fresh MGlogs.zip it generates along with the Combofix log and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

    Let me know how things are running now?

    Thank you so much for the tips. I have completed the XP cleaning and the system seems to be running fine. One concern however. I had to disable the braviax.exe in the start up tab in msconfig to get thru the steps you suggested. I expected it to disappear after the cleaning but it has not. I did a braviax file search and found only the quarantined files. The location in the start up tab is "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" I enabled it to see if anything would happen(probably not to smart ) and it did not. I am going to disable it again. Is this a concern?

    Thanks again

    Hi fairlane,

    I need to see the logs that were produced as you went through the procedures. This will allow me to see which files are still on your system that need getting rid of. If you glance through the instructions, you'll see the location for each of the logs.
