[QUOTE="Pete21, post: 163544, member: 18967"] Hi TwinHeadedEagle, Difficulty downloading the 2 tools. Click on your links, the expected dialogue pop-ups at the bottom of IE with "do you want to open or save aswMBR.exe (4.52mb) from public.avast.com" and OPEN/SAVE/CANCEL buttons. Click SAVE - nothing happens. There's a dropdown on the SAVE with option to SAVE AS. Tried saving to USB drive, still failed to do anything. Googled for aswMBR.exe and found it at: [url]http://public.avast.com/~gmerek/aswMBR.htm[/url] - tried to do a "save target as" to USB drive. All I got was a 0Kb file called aswmbr_exe.5e4o2s3.partial. Even the CANCAL button doesn't remove the dialogue. Same with adwCleaner. Same after rebooting PC. Something to do with the folder permissions problem? BUT... Managed to download both to my android tablet, plug in tablet to PC and copy tools to desktop! So ran aswMBR, downloaded Avast database, did scan, log attached - had to save it twice - it said it was saved on desktop. It wasn't and it wasn't even in C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop\aswMBR.txt. So saved it 2nd time to USB drive (F:). Tried to run the downloaded adwCleaner from desktop. Get Error box "Autolt error unable to open script file". Ran adwcleaner.exe direct from USB drive that I downloaded a couple of days ago (11-feb-2014, 1139kb). Started scan. Log attached.
