Alrighty - almost 2 hours in, we'll see :) Thanks.
Alrighty - almost 2 hours in, we'll see :) Thanks.
Alright - scan finished (approx. 3 hours). Here's the log. I still have the dialog open, should I remove only the items it selected after the scan? Some of them are selected, others aren't. Thanks in advance.
Here's the log after I chose "Remove Selected". I believe it shows the actions it's taking for each instance it found. I'm restarting my computer and will check some things and then restart with MemTest86+. I'll leave it running for the night. Here goes nothing! Thanks in advance.
Wow, you got some nasty stuff going on there. That has just become the top priority.
Who is using the guest account?
This is bad news here,
Select everything in the dialog and remove, it will tell you to reboot, go ahead.Code:www.kevinbloggg.blogspot.com.url (Riskware.Cracks)
You are doing stuff on your computer we do not support, stop with all the cracks and illegal stuff, or all help will end.
When I finished the Malwarebytes scan, I didn't select everything - I'll do that when I can. My MemTest86+ test has been running for almost 8 hours and it's only on Pass 2 with 418 errors, so that's good and bad. Should I let it run until it has completed 8 passes or should I exit or what? Those illegal programs have been deleted for quite some time, sorry for that - it wasn't one of my smartest ideas - and no one uses the guest account, but it has been turned on occasionally, I'll check it after. Again, sorry - thanks in advance.
Since there are errors, go ahead and stop and follow step 3,
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Since this is a laptop, you can test to see if it's only one stick that is bad but you'd be better off replacing as a matched set.
Just get rid of all that nasty junk, keep running Malwarebytes till it finds nothing to delete.
You may already be familiar with this program since I saw it mentioned in one of the logs,

I'm watching ... there's lots of "Adware" on that machine! Please post the fresh results of the
MBam log (after you've removed the threats), and the .txt results from AdwCleaner.

Finishing up a Malwarebytes Full Scan at the moment and I've submitted an RMA for my memory, so I should hear back from that soon - any other advice for further diagnosing/troubleshooting? Any tips to avoid adware/malware in the future? Thanks in advance.
