Everything you helped me achieve is very helpful, and I can't express my gratetude enough to you and the work you did. Even though it was running okei, the feeling that it still exists and could have others like it was what you helped me with imensle, and I can't thank you enough.

Last fix list for you, run this in safe mode.

Update your older programs with Patch My PC home Edition.



We will clean all the tools we used...

Download KpRM
Save to Desktop
Check Delete Tools'
Check Delete Restore points.
Create Restore point.
Click delete quarantines.
Then click run.


I suggest:
Ublock Origin
O&O Shutup Ten
O&O App Buster






Any more issues to speak of??

Download Autologger to your desktop.
Disable your Anitivirus/Defender prior to running.


  • Unzip it there. -- If you are unsure how to unzip a program, then use ---- http://www.7-zip.org/ ----
  • Right click Autologger and run as admin. (Xp user double click)
  • AVZ4 will open and scan your machine, allow this to complete.
  • Upload Collectionlog.zip to your next reply.

OK, there is a lot of information for me to go over here. I will have a reply for you tomorrow. But it is good that we are able to get malwarebytes to run on the system we are seeing progress,.
 
Download AV block remover .
Unzip it (but not to the Desktop or Download folder ), perhaps inside of documents folder or on the c programfiles folder ...run it, and follow the instructions. If it doesn't start, rename the file AVbr.exe in, for example, AV-br.exe (or any other name).
If it doesn't start anyway, run it in safe mode with network .



Looking back everything loaded thru One drive. Can you disable that?

Everything is
C:\Users\domin\OneDrive\Desktop\Auto\AutoLogger\AV\av_z.exe

When it should be C:\Users\domin\Desktop\Auto\AutoLogger\AV\av_z.exe





Look in the Autologger folder and drag out the CheckBrowsersLNK file.
To your desktop.

AutoLogger\CheckBrowserLnk
Drag and drop onto the ClearLNK utility .
After saving ClearLNK to desktop.

Paste into AVZ window.
Make sure the word begin is in the absolute top left of the window as per picture below.

This is the message that pops up when I tried running any restore points (first the Windows Update one on the 23rd, then the SCPtoolkit uninstall one from the 20th)


"System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and settings were not changed.


Details:
System Restore failed to extract the original copy of the directory from the restore point.
Source: %ProgramFiles%\WindowsApps
Destination: AppxStaging
System Restore ran out of disk space while restoring your files.


You can try System Restore again and choose a different restore point. If you continue to see this error, you cab try an advanced recovery method."
