[QUOTE="Stingray, post: 749399, member: 73641"] Hello, My basic issue is it looks like someone has created a ghost(?) account and messed up my permissions and ownership ability. I cant run certain .exe files, altho it let me run your required scan. It has changed most of my C: drive & all of my USB backup drives to read only, and I cant change any of the folders back. I tried an elevated command prompt command suggested by MS ([B]secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose[/B] ) which didnt fix my problem, but I have included that log as well. I spent yesterday in Safe Mode, trying everything I could...I tried a reg fix from MS to reset the .exe back to default..no luck. My system restore doesnt work, but I presume it might be comprised as well. I have run multiple scans with Malwarebytes, the last one showing no issues. Im at a loss here. My internet works but too many other things arent right. Appreciate any help and/or advice. Thank you. EDIT: I am adding a current Malwarebytes scan...seems my system restore is infected. Scan was clear yesterday. [/QUOTE]
