    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    I'm happy to hear that it helped you, but it will not remove most of the issues we work on in this forum. In fact, it will not even detect most of them.

    Since I don't know exactly what you had I cannot make a judgement, but you may not have had any major issues. If you had major malware issues like Vundo, SmitFraud and a host of others, onecare would not have help you. In fact odds are it may have even missed things on your PC that could still be there. It all depends on what kind of infections you had.

    You may be right. All is okay at the moment. I'll be sure to let you know if anything returns or pops up. I'm not even sure what I was infected with either, but onecare removed a whole host of things.

    Not noticing any problems does not necessarily mean you are clean. However, don't get me wrong, I'm also not saying that you are definitely infected. The way we find that out is by having people run the below and often people are quite surprised at what is still found.

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    If you really had a lot of issues then odds are more remains. You probably had one of the infection related to a program like ctfmona.exe (where the letter a could be any letter ).

    How long does it take to run. I would like to give it try.

    It does take awhile! It is quite comprehensive. It depends on your PC expertise and big your hard disks are and how much is stored on them.

    No problem. Yes there is a lot but it is very thorough and tries to give you lots of instructions to guide you thru all steps.


    NOTE: I will not be around until sometime Sunday evening EST. So I will get back to this thread then.

    Hi,

    I just looked over most of the procedures, so I didn't have any logs. I'll be sure to attach any if I use any of the procedures in the future. Thank you for the help again.
