    Please download Junkware Removal Tool and save to your desk top.

    Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.

    * Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8; instead of double-clicking, right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator".
    * The tool will open and start scanning your system.
    * Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
    * On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    * Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next reply !

Re-Boot your computer now !!

  * Threat Scan < --- Select this type of scan
  * Custom Scan
  * Hyper Scan

Next click the Scan button.

When the scan is complete, if no malicious items are found you can close the program.

If malicious items are found be sure that everything is checked, and click Quarantine .

When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
 
Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot.

 

Post the logs as you get them ! Then move on to the next program and keep doing them !!

If you have any problems just ask. Some programs may sit like it has stopped but it's really cleaning so be patient !

So i need these logs:

1. AdWcleaner log

2. Junkware Removal log

3. Malwarebytes log

 

Thanks

Sid we are not finding any thing so i recommend upgrading to W10 !!

Run this program to remove the tools we used & the logs !!

Clean up of Malware Removal Tools

Now that we are through using these tools, let's clean them off your system so that should you ever need to have malware removed again (we hope not) fresh, updated copies will be downloaded.

    Download Delfix to your desktop and double click it to start the program here             
    Ensure Remove disinfection tools is ticked
    Also tick:
    o Create registry backup
    o Purge system restore
    o Reset system settings

    o Click Run
    The program will run for a few moments and then notepad will open with a log. Please paste the log in your next reply.

You can delete any log files left on your desktop as these are no longer needed.

 

Thanks

Chuck
