Also, I’m unable to run Zamana. I ran it a few months ago as a result of my other thread here, and now the license has expired. Do I need to purchase a license or is there another tool you’d like me to use?
You should still be able to run the tool, it reverts to the free version after the license expires.
If you are unable to run it then uninstall it with Geek Uninstaller, then reboot the machine and grab the free version and run it.

Re: ClearLNK log: I’ve been trying to clean up my desktop and moved some files into folders, I may have moved it. What was the file name supposed to be?
Re: Zamana: Yeah, had to use that uninstall tool before it would let me scan. Decided to also scan my NAS, looks like there were a few archived files over there that is didn’t like as well.

Malnutrition:
Ha. Whoops. I can rerun it with that if I need to. As for being solved … I don’t know. I hope so. The browser hijacks only happened maybe once a week or once every two weeks and that was the only symptom so it’s hard to say. But if your review of the logs indicate stuff got cleaned up I can trust that, and if something more happens I can create another thread. Or, if you want we can keep this one open for a while longer and then close it? Up to you.
The browser hijacks only happened maybe once a week or once every two weeks

Speak of the devil. See attachment. This one happened when I went to view an Imgur page. I looked at the page, browsed another tab, and when I came back close that tab it had navigated to this site.

After you double click on the log a notepad will open, copy and paste that report into your next reply.
You will not be able to use Loaris unless you pay for it, at this point the program has served its purpose and you may uninstall it. Having the logfile is all that is needed, if anything was detected by the program. https://forum.windowsinstructed.com/...ns/biggrin.png
