Do you read Hijackthis?

[REDACTED]

I have a refurbished laptop, and I'm not having any problems; but I run scans weekly of Avast, Malwarebytes, and Spybot Search & Destroy.  And I remembered I also had a program on my old computer called Hijackthis.  Do you read Hijackthis logs?
If so, here is the log I just ran.  Is there anything I should remove on it?
I want to keep my computer healthy.

Hijackthis is outdated and no longer used to analyze systems.

Follow this tutorial and attach ( do not copy/paste ) your logs:

I downloaded Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 32bit & 64bit and tried to run them both,  but warning from avast (as little screen at bottom of computer) said:

FRST64.exe is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer.

I did not want to run it, until I checked with you first.

Here is aswmbr log

Hi  Barb711,

That is nice, let us go back in time, so for what it is (still) worth here is your HJT logfile evaluation:
*   MSIE: Internet Explorer v11.0 (11.00.9600.17496)  is out of date, update to a more recent version of IE/ check windowsupdate!
Check unknown processes like: C:\SmartDraw Photo\SDPhotobar.exe;    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil32_16_0_0_235_ActiveX.exe;
O20 - Winlogon Notify: SDWinLogon - SDWinLogon.dll (file missing) - unnecessary...
That's all.
Now wait for a qualified remover to give an interpretation of the demanded logfiles you produced and eventual help and follow their guidance,

polonus

P.S. Nice dog there 

[essexboy]

FRST is a safe file so you can allow it to download

My apologies for the delayed reply.
Busy day and not on computer much.

Spybot isn't the preferred choice anymore.
Nowadays it is MBAM.

[polonus]

A more modern alternative to HJT is FreeFixer, see: http://www.freefixer.com/
FreeFixer is freeware and Windows 2000/XP/2003/20008/Vista/7/8/8.1 compatible.
FreeFixer runs on both 32- and 64-bit Windows.

Hi looks nice and clean...  I would not recommend using a reg cleaner though as it can cause problems

CAUTION :  This fix is only valid for this specific machine, using it on another may break your computer

Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:
 

CreateRestorePoint:
SearchScopes: HKU\.DEFAULT -> DefaultScope {0633EE93-D776-472f-A0FF-E1416B8B2E3A} URL =
SearchScopes: HKU\S-1-5-19 -> DefaultScope {0633EE93-D776-472f-A0FF-E1416B8B2E3A} URL =
SearchScopes: HKU\S-1-5-20 -> DefaultScope {0633EE93-D776-472f-A0FF-E1416B8B2E3A} URL = 
EmptyTemp:
CMD: bitsadmin /reset /allusers

 
Save this as fixlist.txt, in the same location as FRST.exe

Run FRST and press Fix
On completion a log will be generated please post that

[REDACTED]

Here is the log.
I want to thank you for the help you give.  You do not realize how much comfort and peace you give....by relieving people of their worries and fears.
Bless you for being "willing" to help.
Avast is the BEST!

A few tips that you might like 

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:

Remove tools

Download and run Delfix



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

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware



Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Unchecky

Click on the link above to be taken to Unchecky.com
click the very large Download button.
click Save
Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
Then click on Finish
Unchecky is now installed and will help you keep unwanted check boxes unchecked, this is a fire and forget programme 

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
