    You did it correctly this time. :)

    NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system

    Attached is fixlist.txt
    • Save fixlist.txt to your flash drive.
    • You should now have both fixlist.txt and FRST64.exe on your flash drive.

    Now re-enter System Recovery Options.
    Run FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
    The tool will make a log on the flashdrive (Fixlog.txt).
    Please attach this to your next message. (How to attach)

    Now attempt to boot normally.

    If you were able to boot successfully, it would be appreciated if you would upload the following file for further analysis to here.
    • C:\FRST\Quarantine\Apple_Store.exe

    Afterwards, you can delete the entire c:\FRST folder ;)

    Double-click RogueKiller.exe to run. (Vista/7 right-click and select Run as Administrator)
    When it opens, press the Scan button
    Be patient as the scan runs. Once it is complete, press the Delete button.
    Exit out of RogueKiller.
