[Butch Marshall]

I've given as much info as possible (I thinks). I've also uploaded from FRST, ADW and Zemana - hope they're of use to you.

My original problem occurred when downloading a file for utorrent from skidrowz games.

Many thanks.

  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.

Many thanks for the rapid response - much appreciated.

DFownlaoded to desktop your fixlist. Sorry for being dim, but where do I save fixlist to please.
Tried it on desktop - no go
Tried c:FRST/and FRST said "no fixlist.txt found; should be in same folder/directory tool located".
Tried c:FRST/Logs file - said as above

Is it me? Am I doing something wrong...?

Really sorry

 

[Butch Marshall]

Don't worry - got it sorted. Scares me that NASA put men on the moon in 1969, and I can't understand a PC....!

I'm dimmer than I thought. How do I upload the date_time.zip and provide a download link?

 

[Butch Marshall]

Really dimmer thasn I thought I was.
I'm lost after the "Please upload Date_Time.zip archive (date and time will be current date and time) from your Desktop here and provide me with download link:" bit.
could you explain to me how and what to do please - I'm pretty slow on these matters.
By the way, Rambler.Ru keeps swapping/changing tabs whenever open link/webpage.

Disable all extensions. Restart Chrome and let me know do you still have problem?

 

[Butch Marshall]

Many thanks TwinHeadedEagle - will do so tomorrow. Got the day off.

Beer tokens will be sorted too...

Disabled extensions and restarted Chrome today - typed search for "malware" on Chrome. Went straight to Ramblr with search results.

Only extensions I had running were Google Docs, Google Docs Offline, and Adblock Plus (which has been disabled for over 3 weeks now).
