    Hi jmk,
    got the logs and glanced over them, nothing bad standing out, lot of schedules with missing files. Looks like you still have Norton and Avast, dump Norton..... You have plenty of disk and RAM space so I believe we can just get rid of the trash and you should be OK... Hopefully I can get a fix back to you tonight or tomorrow so, hang in there. ;)

    I'll be back.......
    2oG :)

    I did what I could hopefully without screwing something up too bad. lol But, if I did, my first line in the fix sets a restore point that you can go back to....
    You have a lot of Steam that has had a rash of malware. wasn't able to determine what was bad so, just used a crystal ball. lol
    You have plenty of ram and a lot of free disk space with a 3.5GHz cpu and all looks real good.

    Let me know how this sets in and if you have any bugs, we'll fix 'um..

    Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool


    Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

    Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!
    You should still have FRST on your computer...
    • Right-click on the FRST icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
    • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
    • When finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

    Please attach it to your reply.

    2oG :cool:

    Pc runs fine i think a little bit better than before but i did defrag it and optimized my games so it might be because of that but i haven't seen any weird blank tasks in my task manager and i got the best avast money can buy and ran some scans and found nothing, Think i'm good or anymore steps i might need to take?

    It's not the point of being an unsafe program.. Malware goes after the biggest markets, that is; the more it is used the more malware is written for it.... Give me a few days or so and I will work up a layered security plan for you that should stop the malware invasion.. First thing is to run another FRST list for me so I can see everything in your computer and, hopefully, build a defense for you. This time check the Addition.txt box before running.

    run a NEW scan with FRST. this time check the Addition.txt box and I'll see what we can do about locking malware out of your computer.. Just delete those old logs..
