Hi,
Sorry about that, I was super tired after my trip and fell asleep early.

No problem, hope you had a good trip.
I haven't seen any issue with the wired and I just tested the wireless and it seems fine, without having problems I would say it's good to go. Thanks so much, it blows my mind that there are people like you who are generous enough to donate their spare time to help random strangers on the internet with their computer problems. You saved me money and headache since I was on the verge of buying a new computer since nothing I did would keep my connection stable.
You're welcome.
Great to hear your connection problems appear to be resolved.

A piece of advice, using P2P programs is a sure way of infecting your computer.
Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.
I would avoid using such programs in the future.

Your latest logs appear to be clean so you should be good to go.
Lets tidy up and remove the tools we used to clean your computer.

Please download delfix and save it to your desktop.
  • Right-click on delfix.exe and select " Run as administrator " to run it.
  • Check the following boxes then click on Run.

    • Remove disinfection tools
  • All tools we used to clean your computer should be gone now.
  • You can now delete any tools/logs we used if they remain on your computer.


We removed an outdated version of Java, if you use it you can reinstall the latest versions.

Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE).

Please download from HERE

  • Find Java SE 8u40.
  • Click the Download JRE button to the right.
  • Choose the correct Platform and Multi-language. Next, check the box that says I agree to the Java SE Runtime Environment 6 License Agreement.
  • Click the Continue button.
  • Click on the filename under Windows Offline Installation and save it to your desktop.
  • Close all active windows.
  • Install the program.


Please read the article below which will give you a few suggestions for how to minimise your chances of getting another infection.


I would be grateful if you could reply to this post so that I know you have read it and, if you've no other questions, the thread can be closed.

Safe surfing!

Ok I've ran delfix and installed the most recent version of Java, and I'll give that article a read after work today. I'm going to stay away from P2P programs now, the issue with my computer seemed to be really synchronous with bitcomet. I'm so happy to have a working computer again! cheers friend.
