    Let me start off by saying thank you for your help and let me list the problems I recently had and which I'm still facing.

    Recently removed and so far no signs of them coming back.
    1. Redirect rootkit/virus
    2. Whistler rootkit/virus - (while annoying this one made me lol)

    Problems still occuring (I believe I have/had zero access and it's still lingering but I'm not sure)
    1. Can't access windows firewall - I was getting error code 0x8007042c.
    However, when trying to start the service "base filtering engine" I was also getting Access Denied Code 5. So I went into regedit into services and right clicked BFE added permissions "Everyone" and gave it full control and was able to start BFE service. However, not I'm now receiving error code 5 on the windows firewall service.


    After the fact, I have AVG running and malaware antibytes (paid) running and followed all the steps in the guide.

    Attached are my logs and I appreciate all the help :)
    Thank you!!!!!!

    Woohoo I just managed to get windows firewall to work

    I went to regedit then system/currentcontrolset/services/sharedaccess and right clicked the shared access went to permissions and added the everyone group and gave it full control and windows firewall was no longer angry at me.


    Though I suppose this is a workaround...... So would still appreciate help on removing whatever I have or whatever traces I have left on my computer.

    Thank you again :)

    Welcome to Major Geeks!
    You still forgot the most important one for us to continue. We need the C:\MGlogs.zip file created by running MGtools. And since you played with a registry change, make sure that you rerun MGtools first because we need to see the current status of your system.
