    Hi no idea about the firewall,I have Fl20 and the game Modern warfare blocked ,FL 20 ,I don’t know what the other file is? I’ll see if I can find it

    " Lync" never seen it dunno what it is,should I delete it?

    Kms was for Office 16 but I thought id removed it as I changed over to libre office

    Avira I had installed at one time because defender wouldn’t run on it’s own ,it would only do an on demand scan .

    No I didn’t know bitlocker was running,no I don’t use One drive

    Lot to look into there

      Ok, we are gonna remove the remnants of Avira and Kms, then we will reset the firewall. Let’s use one more software tool to give me a look at other areas of the machine.

      Download ZHP Suite to your desktop.
      Right Click Run as admin.
      Hit the scanner button.
      Once it is complete a file name ZHPdiag.txt will be on your desktop.
      Attach it.

        Hi ZHP suite doesn’t download,sits there saying getting files together for 30 mins

        One problem solved now I have another Google chrome has suddenly defaulted back to default,I’ve lost all my bookmarks
        Google tells me theres a back up in C:\users\name\appdata\local\Google\Chrome\user data\default
        The folders empty
        Has this anything to do with FRST ?

          We deleted the cache data from within Chrome. This standard practice when I help users, you can see this command only deletes the cache.

          CMD: del /s /q “%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache*.*”

          This would be a first if your bookmarks were deleted. Which is not indicated in the fixlog, you can look there and see everything that was deleted from your machine via FRST

            Hi yeah it’s the loss of the bookmarks that’s annoyed me but not only that,it’s a full reset of Chrome,no browser extensions or history.
            50% redone today adding bookmarks,it was just something I’ve not seen before.

            My son came today he’s a bit more PC savvy than me,so he -
            Renamed the suspicious msregsvv.dll to .bak
            Removed the Avira remnants
            Turned off bitlocker
            Removed the two Auto Kms files
            He’s not sure if " Lync" in Windows start up isn’t something to do with MS Office

            Anyway I’m going to say this is resolved,I can only thank you for your help and I’ve learnt along the way,some good tools that can be put to use

            I will be travelling to my Daughter’s today to spend Christmas ??? with her and my Grandson.

            Hope you have a good Christmas and Happy New Year
            Thank you once again ???
