Trouble removing disk antivirus pro

[Fiery]

No worries, all the files ESET found were already quarantined by OTL and posed no threat

If you are no longer experiencing any other issues, your PC is now clean!

Double click on OTL to run it

• Click on the Cleanup button at the top.
• You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. Choose Yes
• This will remove itself and other tools we may have used.

Also, open adwCleaner and click Uninstall

---

Now that your PC is clean, I recommend you to create a new System Restore point then purge the old ones after.

For XP
How to create a Restore Point in XP
Delete all restore points except the most recent one

For Vista
Create a restore point
Delete all but the most recent restore point

For Windows 7
Create a restore point
Delete all but the most recent restore point - Click the Delete all but the most recent restore point link

Keep your system updated
Keeping your programs (especially Adobe and Java products) updated is essential. Outdated programs make your PC more vulnerable to future malware threats. To help you:

• Download and install Update Checker. It will notify you if any of your programs require an update.
• Microsoft releases patches for Windows and Office products regularly to patch up Windows and Office product bugs and vulnerabilities.
• Please ensure you update your system regularly and have automatic updates on. You can learn how to turn Automatic Updates on here

In addition to your antivirus, you need additional protection such as a firewall and behavioural blocker.

• Online Armor
• Comodo Firewall - If you are an advance user
• ZoneAlarm Free Firewall
• PC Tool Firewall Plus

Other steps that you may want to do to further protect your system/files:

• Sandboxie - "Quarantines" your browser so anything that you do in it will be isolated from your system.
• Backup important files regulary to an external hard-drive or USB

Here are only a few suggestions that will improve your system security. Should you wish to allow us to make full recommendations and set your PC up with maximum security, please start a thread here.

Should you want to try a product but don't know how it performs, here is a list of current reviews to help you decide.

Internet Explorer may be the most popular browser but it's definitely not the most secure browser. Consider using other browsers with addition add-ons to safeguard your system while browsing the internet.

Firefox is a more secure, faster browser than Internet Explorer. Firefox contains less vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of drive-by downloads. In addition, you can add the following add-ons to increase security.

• KeyScramber - Encrypts your keystrokes to protect you against keyloggers that steals personal & banking information
• AdBlock - Disable/blocks advertisements on websites so you won't accidentally click on a malicious ad.
• NoScript - Disables Flash & Java contents to avoid exploits or drive-by attacks
• Web of Trust - Shows the website rating by other users and blocks dangerous and poor-rated sites

Google Chrome is another good browser that is faster and more secure than Internet Explorer by having a sandbox feature. Additionally, you can add the following add-on to Chrome to heighten security.

• AdBlock

---

Lastly, it is important to perform system maintenance on a regular basis. Here are a few tools and on-demand scanners that you should keep & use every 1-2 weeks to keep your system healthy.

• CCleaner
• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Other than that, stay safe out there! If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to ask

Hello Fiery,

I am having an issue, not sure if it is from this last problem or something I did. When I go onto Google the pic of Google does not show it just says Google typed and when I go onto Facebook it does not load my page. I did not have this issue immediately after I finished posting the last log to you. I have not completed the last instructions yet where you mentioned doing another restore point and suggested some programs to use to maintain my computer.
What I have done is try to remove that 22find that tries to take over as my homepage all the time by going to the Firefox icon on my desktop, right click, properties and in the target where it said 22find I replaced it with Google. It says ("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" http://www.google.com/?utm_source=b&utm_medium=mlv&from=mlv&uid=ST98823A_3PK0GLL2XXXX3PK0GLL2&ts=1360290230) I didn't change the rest of it at all, I don't know if that is the issue. If I click on images it brings up the logo and loads the images. Any suggestions?
Another ?, this is an old HP Pavilion laptop I bought in 05 - how far can I push this thing without buying newer parts....is it possible to run chrome on this and other newer software?
Thank You SO Much for all of the help you have provided me. I really can't thank you enough, even with a donation it doesn't convey my gratitude!!!

With Sincere Gratitude,
Dawn

Hi

Right-click firefox again and go to the properties. Delete everything after "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" and see if that helps. So the target line should only have "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

Another ?, this is an old HP Pavilion laptop I bought in 05 -

You can probably run chrome on there. I have a desktop that's older with 40GB hard-drive and 1GB RAM that can run chrome ok. There will be a bit of delay however.

how far can I push this thing without buying newer parts....is it possible to run chrome on this and other newer software?

It depends which software you want to install. Currently you have 48% of the disk free. Try to keep atleast 25% free space. Do regular cleaning with CCleaner (Don't use the registry cleaner from it though). You may also consider de-fragmenting your drive Auslogic Disk Defrag once in say 6-8 months.

For security wise, I will suggest you just use Sandboxie (the link is in my post above) and just use the XP firewall instead since your system don't have too much memory.
