Oops cross posted

Download the attached fix.txt to the same USB as Listparts
Run Listparts as previously then press fix
Once done reboot, you may need to run startup repair  again

Ok, windows restarted, i ran avast and it found
c:\$recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-2144862953-1091124084-318524989-1000\$RV4Zip5.txt
Severity-High               Status-Threat: Win32:Malware-gen

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\\Windows\\WERReportQueue\Kernel_0_0_cab_028d0c3f\Report.wer

Severity-                      Status-Error: The system cannot find the path specified (3)

I was reluctant to do anything due to what happened yesterday, so i just losed the lid and left the screen there.  Please advise as to what action i should take if any.   Thank you for walking me through this, so far this has gone rather well and even though i have know idea what i am doing, you have made the process very easy to follow.

OK could you now run OTL and I will see what else there is to remove

Download OTL  to your Desktop
Secondary link
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.


  • Select All Users
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
netsvcs
BASESERVICES
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
/md5start
services.*
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
Userinit.exe
svchost.exe
winsock.*
/md5stop
CREATERESTOREPOINT


  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Post  both logs

fix and scan are done, log is attached.  things are seeming more normal, only thing i noticed prior to the scan were some pop ads on the side of my web browser.

Which browser was this in ?

Download AdwCleaner from here to your desktop
Run AdwCleaner and select Delete



Once done it will ask to reboot, allow this
On reboot a log will be produced please attach that
