This was a long process. About 120k files into the scan my pc locked up. I was able to move the mouse around and right click things but nothing responded. I had to do a hard reboot. I just finished the scan which took 10+ hours. Not sure if you want me to do your recent post still.Ok, we have removed a whole slew of garbage from this machine. I am currently at work, so I will check over the logs when I get home.
Please run this for me. I am sure more garbage will be removed by this tool. And once I get home I’ll provide another fix for you after checking the logs.
Make sure and disable your antivirus/defender prior to the scan.
