This thread's last reply is from September 9, 2016, 7:00 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

Shortcut.txt was too long to fit in , so I had to upload it.

Mostly no changes in computer behavior if I open chrome yourtv.link still opens up but malwarebytes blocks it and google customs search is still there.
I just had a question , does any of the stuff that I am giving you like all the logs and stuff have any personal matter that could be exploited by other people out there? I know I kind of took the risk when I used cracked software but I am still curious .
Thanks a ton capnkrunch. :)

Uh, capnkrunch , I would like to save you from any more trouble and me from any more embarrassment , I just found out from my brother that the windows installed is not a legitimate one . I am gonna save most of my important files up in to an external hard disk and am going to format my computer and install a legitimate windows system . Sorry for the trouble I had to make you go through . Thanks for giving me your time and I feel really guilty about it .
Thanks anyways :)
On second thoughts could you please just confirm and see if it is actually a non legitimate version or not before closing the topic . I don't actually own this laptop its a family laptop so basically I don't have a lot of idea about this machine , plus my brother isn't really that smart about computers . So please just tell me if it is a original windows software or not . I really have put you though a lot for a stranger . Thanks capnkrunch.
Hello TS1997 :)

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.

From your logs, the Windows installed on your computer appears to be genuine. I talked with my colleagues and decided that since you have been upfront and honest with me then we can continue if you would like.

However, since you brought up reinstalling Windows I would like to point out that there are a few benefits to this. If there's any doubt that your Windows is not genuine reinstalling and activating a legitimate copy will dispel that. Also, formatting your hard drive and reinstalling Windows is a guaranteed way to clean your system of malware.

Please let me know how you'd like to proceed.

Regards,
capnkrunch

So far there has not been. Please rest assured that if there was, for example an email address, we would remove it promptly.
Thanks capnkrunch for assuring me that my windows is a legitimate one . I would like to keep reinstalling the windows as a last option i was just hovering over that choice cause my brother told me the windows was not legitimate , lets proceed capnkrunch as we were before . Thanks for your help :)
Helllo TS1997 :)
