The FRST is in my C: and when I try to save the fixlist.txt file to C: it says I don't have permission to save in that location and I must contact the Administrator to obtain permission.

But you're already administrator. Save it on your Desktop instead.

I have the FRST and fixlist.txt saved on my desktop, but when I run the scan it says the fixlist needs to be in the same location as the tool program. I don't know what to do

 

[Goodguy18]

here is a screenshot of what it is telling me when I click Fix

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Then you're not doing something right. Either tool or fixlist isn't on the desktop.

 

[Goodguy18]

Hi there. Sorry, I just woke up. Here's a screen shot of how it looks on my desktop. Maybe I didn't put them on the desktop the right way?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

That is not good. You cannot use FRST shortcut, but tool itself.

 

[Goodguy18]

Okay, then what do I need to do then? When I look to see where I have the FRST tool file is located it says in my internet files. How do I put the FRST in my desktop?

 

[Goodguy18]

okay I fixed it. Scanning now

 

[Goodguy18]

here it is.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Very good, how is your PC now?

 

[Goodguy18]

It's a lot better No more pop ups saying I have AdClicker or Trojan.Powlik. The multiple dllhost.exe* processes are gone also. You are awesome! I'm still getting a little bit of advertisement pop ups.

In which browser?

 

[Goodguy18]

I am using Internet Explorer 11. I use Bing.com for my search engine. The malwarebytes program popped up saying it blocked a malicious website. I downloaded 14 windows updates, and ever since my computer has not been running as great as it was before I downloaded them.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Did it block malicious site only once?

 

[Goodguy18]

It blocked 2 times, then I just existed out of the MalwareBytes. Before I did the Windows Updates the MalwareBytes did not pop up at all blocking any websites. Then after I downloaded the updates and restarted my computer the Malware Bytes popped up.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Please re-run

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.

• Click the History tab.
• Click Application Logs and double-click the newest Protection Log.

Save the file to your desktop and include its content in your next reply.

 

[Goodguy18]
