hey, listen to me.. download the kasper rescue disk from here: rescuedisk.kaspersky-labs.com/rescuedisk/updatable/kav_rescue_10.iso
then write it on a cd or copy it to a flash, then boot your system with this cd, let it check your system when you are out of os.
if you are infected it will clean your system by 100%
let me know the progress
Hope it helps,

I would recommend skipping the Kaspersky scan, I tried it and they wanted money to remove the infection.
Use the Windows Defender Offline I linked to earlier, but download it from another, uninfected PC>

Will do

 

[nostaw5]

OK here is the scan now snapshot i took

The SFC scan shows that there are no system file corruptions.

The AdWCleaner log files show some adware infections - whilst you await Jacees further instructions, follow Brittons advice.

Hum if it is the modem mate maybe a change is in order - personally I have had no problems with the
TP-Link W8960N here since I bought it and not expensive either.

 

[nostaw5]

Yes running windows defender offline now, full scan.

Its the modem as in the admin interface it wont connect to our DSL line at the same time, I can literally get into the router wirelessly, but the connection to the PPOA fails at dns settings.

anyway i wont go on about the modem in this thread, i will start a new one in networking.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Good idea W there are some whizzes in there

Yep stay with the advice mate until Jacee gets back as a by the by that ADWhas slashed my boot time from 30 secs to 22 secs on the Ivy

I suppose you are using CCleaner too? (if I missed that apologies)

There area couple of heavy weights I could suggest but best wait for Jacee.

Also if you are interested in a bit more speed - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11728-optimize-windows-7-a.html?filter[2]=Performance Maintenance < while you are waiting

Thanks for helping me though since i still found infections ^.^

There is still some adware that requires cleaning out - check back for Jacees replies.

which one?

I have already used adwcleaner and DDS, but if you are referring to the DDS logs with the IP conflict see my post in the network section.

I already removed adaware and put on MSE (coincidence!?!?!?!?!?) and have now run TFC.


Read above, I found the problem to be whenever my sd card is in, the hdd light is on.

 

[Britton30]

Glad you figured it out. I recall using ready boost and indeed my HDD light stayed on a lot too.
Get a SSD and you won't even need it.

 

[nostaw5]

no need lol, saviing for an alienware laptop as a gaming replacement

Yep Gary I think that is cos Readyboost isn't really RAM as a lot of people think it is more a of a caching type application if I remember rightly.
