    ok i would have done the old school "READ ME" downloads and scans 1st but cant find them on the site anymore......i have spybot and it hasnt found any majors, i put it in safe mode and half way through the scan the lappy switched off??? so spybot didnt complete.

    this is a new comp i have not long bought :/

    when i turn on the comp there are 5 options, it never goes straight to windows, these options are as follows....

    1. ubuntu, with linux 2.6 35-22-generic
    2. ubuntu, with linux 2.6 35-22-generic recovery mode
    3. memory test (memtest86+,serial console 115200)
    4. windows vista (loader)(on/dev/sdb1)
    5. windows vista (loader)(on/dev/sdb2)

    -this is a vista home premium
    -its VERY slow for a lappy with 100gig (been upgraded)
    -it trys but cant install most windows updates, says "updates wernt configured correctly, reverting changes bla bla bla
    -i cant turn on windows defender at all
    -windows security essentials cant update (i downloaded this myself after uninstalling avast
    -i cant put a damn thing on the desktop, i have to go through the start menu for anything!

    am choking on malawarebytes......is not free anymore!

    is there someone who can help me with this heap of dribble or at least send me the link to "READ ME"........please?

    They are in the same place they have always been and listed on every single page in the Malware Forum since it s still a sticky thread.


    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    Spybot is has not been in the READ & RUN ME for years.

    And you are incorrect, Malwarebytes is still free.

    Don't know what you mean by "both ways of putting things on the desktop", but if you cannot save files on your Desktop, then save them somewhere else.

    Hi there. You will be better off posting in the software forum because I am not seeing any malware in thoise logs.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required (If we renamed it please rename it back to Combofix.exe.
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click 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.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
