No need. The applet is known for being troublesome.

We'll use a different scanner.
  • Go here using Internet Explorer: http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/run_scanner.php
  • Put a checkmark next to Yes, I accept the Terms of Use and click the Start button
  • If prompted about installing ActiveX, allow it and click Install
  • If there is a checkmark next to Remove found threats, remove the checkmark and then click Start
  • The scanner will initialize and then start scanning. It will normally take 0.5 - 2 hours to complete.
  • When the scan has finished, close Internet Explorer
  • A log will be located here
    C:\Program Files\ESET\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
  • Include this log in your next reply

Download ATF-Cleaner by Atribune to your desktop.
Start the program and place a check next to the following items:
  • Windows Temp
  • Current User Temp
  • All Users Temp
  • Temporary Internet Files
  • Java Cache
  • Recycle Bin
Now click Empty Selected and click OK.

If you use FireFox, click the FireFox tab and place a check Select All. Click Empty Selected and answer No at the prompt.
If you use Opera, click the Opera tab and place a check Select All. Click Empty Selected and answer No at the prompt.

Submit a file for analysis
We need to have something checked for malware. Please go to Jotti's.
  • Click Browse next to File to upload & scan and copy and paste the first line of the following list into the browse box:
    Code: Select all
    C:\Software\Fonts\fontsfree.exe
  • Click Submit. The file will now be scanned for malware and the results will be displayed from the screen. Select the part where the virus scan results are shown and copy and paste this to notepad.
  • Copy and paste the whole notepad file you just made into your reply.

Due to a 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.
