    My computer is running very odd., when it reboots instead of taking a few secs for home screen to come on it takes good 5 mins and also sometimes shuts down. Also Fireofx keeps stopping and not responding

    have enclosed rlogs (mcafee site advisor said rogue killer was dangerous though?) I'm also getting messages saying UAC off is not good either

    I am not seeing any malware although Hitman found some garbage you can have it delete, under the heading "Potential Unwanted Programs "

    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
      • "%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 4 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 6 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:

    also can I ask if mcafee site advisor is reliable?

    tried a site and told me to stay away but the owner says its a cookie problem?

    Leave it as it is as nothing much was found.
    Open up the program to run it, and have it delete it.

    I use Web Of Trust as I much prefer it but at the end of a day those apps could tell me a site is bad when it isn't and that a site is good when it isn't. They are not 100% as you know yourself.

    Hitman Pro wants me to pay to delete the files?

    Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixme.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
    to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.


    Then you can rescan with Hitman to see if they are really gone.

    No. It has too many cases of false detectons and misleading or information that will be misinterpreted by non-experts. It should only be used under the guidance of experts.

    If you are not having anymore problems, Kestrel13! will post final instructions.

    Main final steps were in post number 2.

    You can delete the fixme.reg and you can delete the systemlook.exe from your desktop and any logs it produced too.
