oops. I forgot to click "all" in the boxes before running the custom scan, and I didn't see an "all users" option

There's only two users though. The one I'm logged in on and the admin account.

edit: It's said manual file scan for a while now. Is that normal?

If you could attach the log - I will work from the initial one first, then look at all users later

The log popped up, is it normal for the txt file to be really laggy?

Also, there is an OTL.txt, and an Extras.txt

I tried posting the OTL.txt, but it says the maximum length is 10000 characters

Okay, I see.

I think this is the one from the "all users" option. It may or may not have saved over the original file.

The "all users" version only took a few seconds, is that normal?

Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems

Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot



Download the attached fix.txt to the desktop of the affected system
Run OTL and press run fix
A dialogue will pop up asking for the location
Select the fix.txt on the desktop and press run fix again

You ran the scan.txt again... Please use the one marked fix.txt

Or run it this way

I will be going offline shortly but once you have run the fix - you should be nearly back to normal

Once the fix has completed and rebooted the computer then run Mawarebytes
