attach all logs requested by Asyn....then a removal expert will remove any leftover files....if any.

the most important is OTL log
Title: Re: Bprotect.exe
Post by: Vole on February 09, 2013, 07:49:16 PM
OTL will not run.  Do I cut and past the complete log including reg info?
Title: Re: Bprotect.exe
Post by: Pondus on February 09, 2013, 07:51:57 PM
you may run it from safe mode....

What error do you get with OTL or does it appear to freeze at some point
Title: Re: Bprotect.exe
Post by: Vole on February 09, 2013, 08:03:45 PM
I click on start scan and nothing happens.  It reads as running in Task Manager I end the programme and it reads as not responding.  Have tried 3 times.
Title: Re: Bprotect.exe
Post by: essexboy on February 09, 2013, 09:01:00 PM
OK could you run it from safe mode please as it may be MBAM blocking it
Title: Re: Bprotect.exe
Post by: Vole on February 09, 2013, 09:14:31 PM
Will do, thanks for the advice.
Title: Re: Bprotect.exe
Post by: Vole on February 09, 2013, 10:11:52 PM

Title: Re: Bprotect.exe
Post by: essexboy on February 09, 2013, 11:01:38 PM

Subject to no further problems   :)

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Run OTLRun OTL and hit the cleanup button.  It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself. 

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article (http://www.forbes.com/sites/eliseackerman/2013/01/11/us-department-of-homeland-security-calls-on-computer-users-to-disable-java/) and this article (http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/technolog/us-warns-java-software-security-concerns-escalate-1B7938755).
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser (http://www.geekstogo.com/2600/how-to-disable-java-in-your-web-browser/) and How to unplug Java from the browser (http://krebsonsecurity.com/how-to-unplug-java-from-the-browser/))

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

(http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7729/mbamicontw5.gif) Malwarebytes (http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php).

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker (http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/) and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport  (http://www.trusteer.com/Products/Trusteer-Rapport-for-Online-Banking)

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide  How did I get infected (http://securitygarden.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page.html) Keep safe  :wave:
