[QUOTE="Chigwells, post: 120085, member: 1154"] Hey Kattus, Well I'm thoroughly confused and out of my depth, something seems really wrong here, I'll be as precise as I can. I followed your instruction and ran Eset. As you said, it didn't find anything so there is no report. I left it scanning last night, and when I got up this morning it was only at 84%. Just got in this pm and all finished, no infection found. It took over nine hours to complete the scan on my 450MB hard drive. Thing is, all my desktop icons had changed themselves to super large, screenshot 1. When I right-clicked on the desktop > view, to put them back to 'small', I noticed they were set to medium, not large as I was expecting. So their setting had been changed from small to medium, but their size had gone from small to massive. [attachment=4417] Next thing was, I got an infection notification from BD straight away, screenshot 2. So that was the second time from BD only, (mostly its been Emsi first followed by BD a couple of seconds later, or not at all. Sometimes only Emsi notified me). [attachment=4418] Then I noticed that the Emsi icon had the download arrow on its icon, even though it wasn't updating. So I went into the Windows orb and opened Emsi AM from the program menu, right-clicked as administrator. As it opened I noticed it hadn't updated for 14 hours, even though my machine has been on all night, normally it updates hourly. So that is maybe why it hadn't registered any infections the last couple of times, as it was stuck or bugged and infected or something. Next, when I opened my browser in Sandboxie to write this reply I noticed it still had the settings from yesterday before I deleted the sandbox. It should have been a fresh start with a single home page tab. Yesterday I deleted the entire old sandbox system, so today it should have been brand new. So because of this I opened CCleaner to once again give it a clean out. But CCleaner froze and the whole system froze, I had to press the start button to shut it down. When I rebooted it was running really slow so I went to reboot again, but it got stuck shutting down and after a good five minutes of shutting down I pressed the start button again to kill it. So all this has happened in the past hour since I got in. I should say that there have been three or four notifications from both Emsi first followed by BD of infections, screenshot 3. [attachment=4419] So I think what stands out the most is that the scans are coming up clean but the infection notices continue as well. The only difference I noticed was after the OTL script, JTL, adwcleaner work at the beginning here, things seemed quieter for a bit. Lastly I want to say that I am definitely going back to Comodo firewall after all this lot. Just had yet another Kazy alert from Emsi and then BD! Thanks for all your support Kuttus, [/QUOTE]
