    No, everything seemed to be working fine…both before and after i came here. I was concerned because i couldn’t understand why Adwcleaner couldn’t remove those two files.

        That’s because nothing showed up in the quarantine and the only part of the 2 files i could see, which it wouldn’t remove are what i posted in my first post here.

          That is a sort of a canned speech that I post to most people I help. Your machine did not have many startups, but it did have an excess of scheduled task which could have been reduced. It is just not good to have a bunch of programs running with your machine. The idea is just to get people to reduce that without me having to specify for each person that I help.

            Can you post a screen shot of the issue, can you re-run Adware cleaner now?

            Also, may as well run another well known adware cleaner while I have you here, after this tool run adware cleaner again and see what happens.

            ZHP Scan.


            Please download Zhp Cleaner to your desktop. Right Click the icon and select run as administrator.
            1. Once you have started the program, you will need to click the scanner button.

            [IMG alt="EgsT69u" width="602px" height="129px"]https://windowsinstructed.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/EgsT69u.png[/IMG]

            The program will close all open browsers!
            3. Once the scan is completed, the you will want to click the Repair button.
            [URL unfurl="true"]http://windowsinstructed.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/6QJjV50.png[/URL]

            At the end of the process you may be asked to reboot your machine. After you reboot a report will open on your desktop.
            Copy and paste the report here in your next reply.

            Security Check Scan.

            [ul]
            [li]Download Security Check to your desktop.[/li][li]Right click it run as administrator.[/li][li]When the program completes, the tool will automatically open a log file.[/li][li]Please post that log here in your next post.[/li][/ul]

              Yep, i hear ya. That’s why as a rule i do try to check using that CCleaner via the start up button to make sure everything’s disabled. (obviously not the cleaner, now that you suggested it be set to start up). Not sure if there’s any other way of seeing what is running in the background, because everything is set to ‘NO’ (apart from cleaner) in that start up list.

                Just to be on safe side, do you have a link to the ADWcleaner, so i know that the one i had wasn’t from a site that’s not legit, please? Edited to add: I got mine from Toolslib.

                  You should be good on startups, but you have a few scheduled task…

                          Well the Adwcleaner just came up with no infected items which is great. Shall i still use the ZHP Cleaner just to make sure?

                            Yep, go ahead and run that along with Security Check program so we can check your machine for outdated software as well.
