Need help with some uninvited changes to system...

Recently I've installed several new software titles. I do use Norton Security, and Revo uninstaller. It's been a few days, so I don't know what cause change...

I noticed my screen stayed dim when I plugged in, contrary to my power settings... When I checked there is some new power plan that was never present before and I cannot change anything now with the power settings..

The power settings name is: 'imfcpowersaver'.

- Has anyone ever seen/heard of that power config or aware of what software may have caused?

- Are there window logs or something I can track down specific changes to power configurations

- How can I delete or remove the damn unwanted crap so hopefully I can once again get my settings to be applied?

Thanks..

Hello coldengray, If uninstalling the programs does'nt work and it has only been a few days maybe a system restore would get you back to normal.

When you do a system restore, are the later dated restore points discarded?

No, and you can go back to the state it was in before you did the system restore.

I have a Dell computer and it's not a powerplan that I recognise and Google didn't produce any clues either.

It may be malware so you might want to download Malwarebytes (free version) and run a full scan in safe mode.

Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a free download that removes viruses and malware from your computer

I did some searching and something called imfcpowerscheme does have some search results I wonder yours is related to this.

Yes, that's it... I think I got it sorted out - just restored an image I'd made before. Question is, I guess, how much am I gonna have to reinstall - gonna look into.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner- just got back home.
THANKS

imfc power scheme is installed by a Xilisoft product, most likely a Video/Audio converter application. The power scheme is changed to prevent sleep/hibernation during conversion operations.
