Hello and welcome to Malware Removal Forums

My handle is shinybeast and I will be assisting you in the removal of malware your computer may have.

Please follow these guidelines as we work to clean your computer.
  • Read through the instructions before you perform them and if you have questions please ask before you perform them. Please do not guess. I will be happy to clarify or explain.
  • Perform all instructions in the order given.
  • Stick with the process until I give you an "all clean." If the symptoms are gone, it does not necessarily mean your computer is safe and secure.
  • The instructions assume you are using an account with administrator privileges.
  • Do not run any other tools to remove malware while we are working.
  • Post all responses in a reply to this topic - Please do not start a new topic.
  • If your security software throws up warnings about some of these tools, please allow these tools to run, they are safe.
  • If you have not done so, please take time to read the Malware Removal Forum Guidelines and Rules and How to get help at this forum where the conditions for receiving help at this forum are explained.
NOTE: I am in training here at Malware Removal University.
I must get my replies to you approved by a malware expert which means it could take slightly longer to get back to you.
Your patience is appreciated. :)


Installed Program List

It would be helpful to see a list of programs installed on your computer.

  • Please start Hijackthis
  • Click the Open the Misc Tools section button
  • Click the Open Uninstall Manager... under System Tools

You will see a list of programs installed on your computer.
Please click the Save List... button and specify where you would like to save the list.
Once you click Save, the list will open in Notepad. Simply copy and paste the entire contents of Notepad in your next post.

Before this post, due to the time between my initial and 72 hr post I ran Hitman Pro and it found a Java script running on my other (empty) (f:) hard drive. I removed it and it seemed to cure all my ills. I apologize for not being patient.

Here is the log you requested in case I did something wrong.

Thanks for your help and good luck with your training! You people do a great service to the community.

Hi mleblanc72,

Apologies for the delay.

I'm glad to hear your issues are resolved. We are quite busy and unfortunately it can take some time before we can get to everybody.

This computer appears to be used for professional endeavors.

We only assist consumer's with personal computers as we are volunteers.

You will find this foum's rule on business machines here: Posting for help for business machines

Thanks for the reply.

My computer is a home computer. Out of curiosity, how is it that it seems that it's for professional endeavors?

Hi mleblanc72,

TheraScribe is professional software used by practitioners in the mental health field, correct? I can't think of a reason someone would have it installed on a strictly home computer. Am I incorrect in my conclusion that the computer is used for professional work as well?

That must be a program my GF uses for her post grad training/internship. So yes, I guess that is in fact a professional use of my laptop!

It was unintentional on my part to post here. I didn't know that she even used my laptop for her work/school purposes.

Thanks
