The OTL log doesn't look as I'd expect it to look, did you run OTL before of after MBAM, and did you run it with the script I gave you to run ?

I did it as you instructed and it all seemed to go ok. It asked me to reboot so I did and when it came back on there was no log. So i tried to find it on my system and thought I had, obviously not. I'll have another look, do you know where it is likely to be saved?

Sorry about this.

I have just noticed however, that Task Manager is now working. I hadn't thought to check but you've certainly done something right as it seems to be working perfectly.

If you think that there are more problems to be sorted I will more than happily continue with this as you clearly know whats best.

I would however like to stop and say a huge thank you for the help you've given me so far.

MBAM reset your Task Manager, which is strange since I'd scripted it to be reset using OTL, so it shouldn't have needed re-setting. It's because of this and some other things that I'd like to see what OTL actually did.

You'll find the log created by OTL in C:\_OTL\Moved Files it is of the form MMDDYYYY_HHMMSS.log (where MDYHMS represent the date and time it was created).

Please post it for me.

I'd also like you to run an online scan for me please.

Please run a scan with ESET Online Scanner

Note: You can use either Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox for this scan. You will however need to disable your current installed Anti-Virus, how to do so can be read here.
  • Please go HERE then click on: Image
Note: If using Mozilla Firefox you will need to download esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe when prompted then double click on it to install.
All of the below instructions are compatible with either Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox.

  • Select the option YES, I accept the Terms of Use then click on: Image
  • When prompted allow the Add-On/Active X to install.
  • Make sure that the option Remove found threats is NOT checked, and the option Scan archives is checked.
  • Now click on Advanced Settings and select the following:
    • Scan for potentially unwanted applications
    • Scan for potentially unsafe applications
    • Enable Anti-Stealth Technology
  • Now click on: Image
  • The virus signature database... will begin to download. Be patient this make take some time depending on the speed of your Internet Connection.
  • When completed the Online Scan will begin automatically.
  • Do not touch either the Mouse or keyboard during the scan otherwise it may stall.
  • When completed make sure you first copy the logfile located at C:\Program Files\ESET\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
  • Copy and paste that log in your next reply please.
  • Now click on: Image (Selecting Uninstall application on close if you so wish)

Summary of the logs I need from you in your next post:
  • OTL log
  • E-Set log


Please post each log separately to prevent it being cut off by the forum post size limiter. Check each after you've posted it to make sure it's all present, if any log is cut off you'll have to post it in sections.

Thats what I thought the log was and its the one I posted earlier,


Files\Folders moved on Reboot...
File move failed. D:\autorun.exe scheduled to be moved on reboot.
File move failed. C:\Users\Harry\AppData\Local\Temp\FXSAPIDebugLogFile.txt scheduled to be moved on reboot.

Registry entries deleted on Reboot...

There is nothing else in that file at all and I've searched my system for anything similar and there is nothing.

OK, just run the E-Set scan as I asked in my last post and post me the log please.

Also can you run a new scan with OTL using the instructions below please ....

  • Double click OTL.exe to launch the programme.
  • Check the following.
    • Scan all users.
    • Standard Output.
    • Lop check.
    • Purity check.
  • Under Extra Registry section, select Use SafeList
  • Click the Run Scan button and wait for the scan to finish (usually about 10-15 mins).
  • When finished it will produce two logs.
    • OTL.txt (open on your desktop).
    • Extras.txt (minimised in your taskbar)
  • Please post me both logs.

Summary of the logs I need from you in your next post:
  • E-Set log
  • New OTL.txt
  • New Extras.txt


Please post each log separately to prevent it being cut off by the forum post size limiter. Check each after you've posted it to make sure it's all present, if any log is cut off you'll have to post it in sections.

Due to lack of response, this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
