Smart PC Cleaner won't go away Win 7 x64
« on: November 10, 2012, 08:34:14 PM »
I have run malewarebytes and it is showing clean.  I cannot get rid of Smart PC Cleaner program.  Any help would be appreciated.  This is my son's laptop and I do not know how this program got on here.  But he does download a lot of malware that i was able to remove.  Avast runs clean as well.

Thanks for the help.  I ran adwcleaner already but can't find the log.  I'm attaching the worst log from Malwarebytes but it is not the latest.  It is from today though.  I'm going to run OTL and will post log when done.  Thanks again!

Hi Essexboy,

Well the only problem is an ongoing one.  From the time I asked for help until today my son had the pc again.  He installed 3 bogus programs that I had to uninstall.  Here is the dilemma-if I just give him a standard user account in Win 7 then he's asking me for a password every 5 mins.  If I just leave him as the administrator he downloads things like Smart PC Cleaner and messes up the computer.  What advice can you give that would be a happy medium?  I could enable some parental settings on my Dlink dir-655 router, but I'm afraid he will still get locked out of many sites that would be ok.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance and thanks for all of the help to date!

Maybe drop my rights, that means he will not be able to download programmes.. But, surf to his hearts content http://cybercoyote.org/security/drop.shtml

Hi again,

Well I ran OTL with the fix provided, then upon reboot my OTL icons have changed to "desktop.ini" for both OTL icons.  I had to do a search for otl.exe to be able to run the program again.  I've attached the report.  One other issue I still have is when I was installing drop my rights I followed the instructions exactly but it said the path wasn't correct.  The only thing I can add is I saved the path to be C:\program files\knowyourrights and it saved as c:\program files (x86)\knowyourrights.  Would this cause that error?

Thanks for all of the free help!

Yes it needs to go to the right directory
