Solved Removing Strongvault Online Backup

[TwinHeadedEagle]

FRST fix affected only Strongvault entries. Try to shutdown your computer normally and then start.

What entries are still there?

 

[Larry1211]

Hi. I did a full shutdown and then a hard start. All 27 Strongvault entries in each of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKEY_CLASSES_MACHINE remain as before.

 

[Larry1211]

We've been at this for a good while now. How about we hang it up for a night? How do I get back in touch with you to pick up where we left off?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Sure, but please do this export for me and then we will continue tomorrow:

Press the

on your keyboard. Type cmd and right click >> Run as Administrator.

Run commands one by one:

reg export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Assemblies %userprofile%\Desktop\hklm.reg

reg export HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Assemblies %userprofile%\Desktop\HCR.reg

Upload both reg files from your desktop here and provide me with a download link:

Zippyshare.com - Free File Hosting

files won't drag & drop - "invalid extension" message. renamed to *.txt for upload capability.
then attempted to drag & drop, but received "file to large for server" message.
i don't know what you mean by a download link?

 

[Larry1211]

io think i know what you mean and what you want. hold on a bit

 

[Larry1211]

here is the link. this is the 1st time i've ever done something like this, so i'm not sure if both files are included.
hklm.reg

 

[Larry1211]

here's the one for hcr.reg
HCR.reg

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

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
  
  icon and select
  
  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.



Is everything cleaned after this?

 

[Larry1211]

Attached is fixlog.txt.
A restart was not invoked by FRST64.
Strongvault no longer appears in a search of my registry.
I think that this issue while not grave was a stubborn one.
How is this "problem ticket" closed?
Do donations go to specific individuals or to MalwareTips?
Thank you very much for staying the course on this.
