Hello,



FRST.gif
Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

icon_exclaim.gif
This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

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!

  • Right-click on
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • 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.

Have changed downloads so that they are saved on desktop (Chrome). All I get is the notepad icon at bottom of screen no red/blue icon as in your reply so can't do the fix etc.
 
Have downloaded fixlist.txt - it appears in desktop but no FRST. When I open fixlist.tx just get notepad. There is no FRST in downloads either.
 
Starting again because its been about a week thank you for your help. Will do fixit in next post am not trying to deliberately confuse things.

There's no popup ad for iphone - I originally posted here because when I did the scans with the aforementioned software none of them caught anything and want to be sure computer is safe. I have avoided Ebay as that's where I was both times the ad appeared.
 
This says solved????? Am I to understand that my computer is virus/malware free?? And can you shed any light on why the pop ups happened if the software caught nothing??
