    Hello and thanks in advance for your time and help.

    I recently noticed a program called file helper which I recognized as bogus. A blurry red shield with an x would appear at the bottom right of my desktop on the taskbar. It said i had files it needed to fix. I've been tricked by these types of programs before.

    I searched the internet and found complaints about the program and directions on how to remove it.

    Eventually i was able to remove it from program files and it does not pop up any more.

    However, there was one instance where I mistakenly allowed it to run. Now there is a slight but not terrible slowdown when I use the internet.

    Also, I use the program CCleaner to remove all cookies. Once I know the cookies are cleaned out, I then use Safari and only go to one page like msn.com then close the browser.

    I then reopen CCleaner and go to the section where it allows you to see the cookies on your computer and decide which ones to keep and to delete. Even though I've only been to one site there are about 50 cookies that CCleaner sees. I'm assuming there's some type of hidden malware causing this to happen.

    I use Norton antivirus, Superantispyware and malwarebytes to look for unwanted malware/files/programs etc. All of them say nothing bad is detected.

    Any advice on what action I should take?

    Thank You

    Yes, once you have attached all the logs we can get a proper look ;)

    Okay so the symptoms i was seeing have improved.

    However the computer freezes up sometimes.

    Also some of my memory capacity seems to have dissappeared and I haven't added anything substantial.

    I may just be overreacting.

    This is not urgent but if anyone has the time to look over these logs and explain if I have any problems or need to do anything I would appreciate it.

    Unfortunately i saved MGtools to my desktop and cannot find the logs to it.

    Also i did not attach the malware bytes logs as I am not sure exactly which one it was as i was doing a lot of scans around a similar time period. I know that no malicious items were detected in the scan and that it was up to date.

    Then move it to where the instructions say it should be. Then run it again. Now attach the MGlogs.zip.

    Before we continue I would like for you to use MSConfig to put this machine back into normal start up mode

    Download and run OTM.

    Download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.


    Code:

    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{DC24CEDE-9E1C-4809-B8FF-1A478F31EDAD}]
    
    :Commands
    [emptytemp]
    [Reboot]
    • Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
    • Push the large http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4174320048_f01c448b32_o.png button.
    • OTM may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
    • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar), and paste it in your next reply.

    NOTE: If you are unable to copy/paste from this window (as will be the case if the machine was rebooted), open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and attach the contents of that document back here in your next post.


    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista or Windows7) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

    Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now!

    okay, I posted two logs because I had run the first scan without first restoring to normal startup mode.

    the second scan was done with normal startup mode activated. hope i didnt screw anything up.

    thank you!
