Hello. I am new here...
I also have the same problem as OP's.
My HDD keeps generating these folder shortcuts that lead to CMD system32...
so I followed TwinHeadedEagle's instructions (Adwcleaner - GMER - FRST)...
Here is attachment... Kindly tell me next step... Thanks in advanced...

Please run Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner once again and have them remove whatever they find.

Uninstall any cracked and pirated software on this system.

Run FRST again after the above two steps are done and post the fresh logs.  Thanks.

FIRST >>>>

Please go to START (Windows Orb) >> Control Panel >> Uninstall a Program or Programs and Features and remove the following (if listed):

QuickTime 7

To do so, left clicking on the name once and then click Uninstall/Change at the bar above the list window. 

Follow the prompts of the uninstaller BUT please read carefully any questions it asks before answering; some uninstallers will try and deceive you into keeping the software.


SECOND >>>>

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.
Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.
Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.
Please attach it to your reply.

How is your system running now?

Force a reboot on your system (sometimes FRST's cleaning of Temp files will hang).  Then please post the log from  C:\FRST\Logs\Fixlog_date_time.txt .  Thanks.
