Please post the CheckSUR.log and CheckSUR.Persist.log files.

Please downloadthe Farbar Service Scanner from

NoelDP,

is the checkSUR.log part of SRUT? if so, that won't install so I don't have that log

see attached Fabar log

I un-cabbed a cbspersist.log and got the size down to where it can be uploaded. see attached.

NoelDP,

any ideas?

The only anomaly in the Farbar is the following:

Code:

Firewall Disabled Policy: 
==================
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile]
"EnableFirewall"=DWORD:0

- do you have a third-party firewall installed? Which one, if so?

I had avira installed, but removed it a few days ago as part of troubleshooting this issue.

NoelDP · 19 Jun 2015

Avira isn't a firewall - it's an Anti-Virus

Follow the instructions here to make sure that it's completely removed.
What AV is currently installed?

fatmann66 · 19 Jun 2015

Correct Avira is A/V, but it also provides a software firewall that runs in place of the MS firewall. Mute point As I stated I uninstalled it a few days ago. currently no A/V is installed.

NoelDP · 20 Jun 2015

In that case you need to switch on the Windows Firewall, and install MSE as anti-virus. You may already be infected! - so once installed, run a full system scan
Microsoft Security Essentials - Microsoft Windows

can't install security essentials RE: installer service issue and no .Net framework. reinstalled Avira and scan was clean.
