Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop.

32bit FRST Version Download Link.
64bit FRST Version Download Link.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
