Hi,

Before we begin, I want you to have this in mind:

• At the top of your post, please click on the "Watch thread" button and make sure to check Watch this thread...and receive email notifications. This will send an email to you as soon as I reply to your topic, allowing me to solve your problem faster.
• Please do not install any new software during the cleaning process other than the tools I provide for you. This can hinder the cleaning process. Please do not perform System Restore or any other restore.
• Instructions I give to you are very simple and made for complete beginner to follow. That's why you need to read through my instructions carefully and completely before executing them.
• Please do not run any tools other than the ones I ask you to, when I ask you to. Some of these tools can be very dangerous if used improperly. Also, if you use a tool that I have not requested you use, it can cause false positives, thereby delaying the complete cleaning of your machine.
  
• All tools we use here are completely clean and do not contain any malware. If your antivirus detects them as malicious, please disable your antivirus and then continue.
• If during the process you run across anything that is not in my instructions, please stop and ask. If any tool is running too much time (few hours), please stop and inform me.
• I visit forum several times at day, making sure to respond to everyone's topic as fast as possible. But bear in mind that I have private life like everyone and I cannot be here 24/7. So please be patient with me. Also, some infections require less, and some more time to be removed completely, so bear this in mind and be patient.
• Please stay with me until the end of all steps and procedures and I declare your system clean. Just because there is a lack of symptoms does not indicate a clean machine. If you solved your problem yourself, set aside two minutes to let me know.
  
• Please attach all report using
  
  button below. Doing this, you make it easier for me to analyze and fix your problem.

First, go to Control Panel and uninstall following (skip lines that cannot be uninstalled):
- Advanced SystemCare 7
- Driver Booster
- f.lux
- IObit Uninstaller
- Pando Media Booster
- Smart Defrag 3
- Surfing Protection

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 finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

***** NEXT *****​

Fix with AdwCleaner

Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save the file to your desktop.

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
• Follow the prompts and click Scan.
• When finished, please click Clean.
• Upon completion, click Report. A log (AdwCleaner[S*].txt) will open.

Please include the contents of that file in your reply.

How is your PC now?

 

[Ecalipsis]

Well i rebooted it twice and its gone and my pc is faster thanks to you.
I just wanted to ask if i can solve it alone if it happens again? Can u teach me, what did you do with the logs?
And can i install the programs told me to erase, if not what should i use as a replacement to them?

Nice

I just wanted to ask if i can solve it alone if it happens again? Can u teach me, what did you do with the logs?

This is something that I am learning for years, there are specialized online schools that provide malware removal courses free of charge.

And can i install the programs told me to erase, if not what should i use as a replacement to them?

- Advanced System Care 7 --> this is type of program you do not want on your PC, believe me. It is doing some settings, but it is in 90% fake, there are no real benefit to use this and similar programs. I do not want to mention that it is known to cause troubles.
- Driver Booster --> you should never use such programs to download your drivers. It is not 100% secure that this program will download correct driver for you. Download drivers directly from manufacturer's website, it is the safest option, and you will always get latest drivers.
- f.lux --> Adware
- IObit Uninstaller --> Use Control Panel instead, the safest way.
- Pando Media Booster --> has bad reputation
- Smart Defrag 3 --> I recommend Defragler instead
- Surfing Protection --> comes with Advanced System Care, not very reliable
