Both logs attached.

Something I noticed today; I don't really know hot to explain this but it was like pc was hiccuping every 30 seconds or so for about half a second. mouse pointer coming to a halt, screen freezing if I am playing a game/watching a movie. I checked the task manager, nothing funny in processes but I noticed one core of cpu had no load but the other core had some 15% load all the time. It went away after I rebooted the pc. Come to think of it I believe I experienced the same thing some months ago too.

Also I didn't disable the antivirus and eset decided to delete part of my steam library..

Code: [Select]

Don't recognise the format - Should be OK to delete them

I feel you are clean now but I would like to wait a bit just to be sure

I see 2 winsys2.exes on the pc; system32\reinstallbackups\0003\driverfiles and OTL\movedfiles

I will probably not be able to notice it for a while if this thing acts up again; not the main pc and I don't use it much. any programs to scan the pc, say tomorrow or day after, to see if everything's okay?

Sorry for the double post but I need to post an update.

First, got rid of nod32 and installed avast free.
Pc keeps freezing; 5 times now, forcing me to hard reset.
Winrar is acting funny; double clicking an archive runs winrar.exe but can't see the UI. if I double click again I get another winrar.exe; I saw as much as 10 in first attempt to open archive. riht click-extract here extracts the archive but still can't see the UI.
avast is set to scan documents when opening and writing. autosandbox is on but set to ask and didn't ask anything yet.

Also I get a window (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\AutorunsDisabled) with a shortcut to adobegammaloader.exe inside at startup; its just annoying.
Any help?

How did you get rid of nod32 ?

There is also a removal tool you might want to try:
ESET/NOD32 Uninstall Tool - http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2116 Make sure you choose the correct uninstaller for your ESET product and your OS (32bit or 64bit version), right click on the link and select Save As or Save File (As depending on your browser), save it to your desktop.

Also see http://thewebatom.net/uninstallers/security-software/, this has a collection of manufactures removal tools, so that should remove any remnants, registry, etc.
Windows 10 Home 64bit/ Acer Aspire F15/ Intel Core i5 7200U 2.5GHz, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD/ avast! free 24.3.6108 (build 24.3.8975.762) UI 1.0.801/ Firefox, uBlock Origin, uMatrix/ MailWasher Pro/ Avast! Mobile Security

You didn't check that page for a while did you? There is no uninstaller, just Uninstall-delete a few left over folders.
Ooh it's buried down there under manual uninstall..
Lİnk to eset uninstaller: http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN2289

Second link has the program so I am gonna run it now.

Edit1: Okay uninstalled it completely. Winrar still acting funny, gonna reinstall I guess. Gonna see if pc still freezes too.

Edit2: Winrar back to normal after reinstall. gotta wait for freezes.
