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.

Here you are.

I've unsynced my browser so it doesn't keep it on my system once I refresh firefox.

 

[terrya86]

I've just run your fix, it's still on my system - i close it with clicking the x, it keeps popping up.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

What keeps popping up?

 

[terrya86]

A browser tab with the startgo shortcut/home screen.

Done.

Can you please explain what these even mean and what your fixes are supposed to do, because I keep doing it, but I'd like to understand the idea behind it.
