Do you think we should run AdwCleaner and aswMBR ? I want to remove that AVG file . I saw it in the FRST log but for some reason the log is missing .

 

[SarahCali]

I am sorry - I can reload. That was me (I told you I was paranoid), I removed logs once we had resolved. I have no issue you guys having the logs, of course - but I am conscious that there is personal data therein, and forums are public.

I have trust issues, apparently ... given creepers infected my darn laptop!!

SarahCali,

On TDSSKiller...

Please run it once again, and this time, when presented with the TDSS File System entry in Threats Detected, select: Delete

Please post the new TDSSKiller log in your reply.

It should come up with No threats found. That is good news.

@VistaKing,

AdwCleaner will be fine.

There does not appear to be a need for aswMBR.

Select: Delete

You are good.

Got to take care of some personal stuff, so, I need to leave, but I'm sure VistaKing will take you to the completion of this thread after he runs another program, or whatever else he deems necessary.

Good luck, SarahCali!! Glad your system is up and running!!

 

[SarahCali]

Thank you so very much, truly. I wish I could repay you guys ... I'd have been stuffed without'ya!

So that wasn't the best $40 investment huh? I bought it just 3 days ago, falling for the claim it may resolve my performance/BSOD issues. How very stupid of me.

AVG Tune up Uninstalled. FRST log attached ... and I'm onto ADWCleaner next

I feel very guilty for taking up so much of your time!

 

[SarahCali]

Ooops, again I am too slow. The link expired?

 

[Jacee]

Be very, very careful running Revouninstaller and deleting trace items in the registry!!

Always backup the registry first. Back up the registry

 

[VistaKing]

On the newer Revo Uninstaller Free and Pro versions you could select all and it will only delete the items displayed in BOLD

 

[SarahCali]

I did make sure only the bold items were deleted, yes.

But point taken, I got a bit deletion happy and started taking off other programs I don't use. I will make sure I am careful with the registry ...

 

[VistaKing]

Mr Vista, from my original BSOD thread, is this http://www.sevenforums.com/system-security/206705-good-free-system-security-combination.html my best bet, in so far as doing all I can to avoid this ever again?

I currently have Miscrosoft Security Essentials, and Malware Bytes
