    Noticed a redirect website popping up, and when I tried to run MSE, it wouldn't let me turn it on. Also noticed that Firewall was not working either. Searched the net and found instructions on how to get it working (installing some registry fixes). Both are working now, but MSE is still finding many Sirefef occurrences. I have attached FRST.TXT and Search.txt to my post. Thank you.

    Save fixlist.txt to your flash drive.

    • You should now have both fixlist.txt and FRST.exe on your flash drive.

    Now reboot back into the System Recovery Options as you did previously.
    Run FRST 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. (See how to attach)

    Now boot into normal Windows can continue with the below.

    Running MGTools.
