FRST Fix.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop. NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST/FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work. NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run. When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply.



Disable windows 10 spyware with O&O software, this can chew up bandwidth... microsoft is constantly uploading various data from your machine.

Disable windows update, and only enable it once a week to update on your terms not whenever microsoft feels you need an update.

Uninstall Useless to you windows apps with O&O App buster.

Do I delete the previous fixlist file?
 
You only need the current one I just uploaded, the other one was ran already. Run the fix, after the reboot then go thru software suggested, then delete FRST and addition.txt logs re-run FRST and post fresh logs.
 
Alright, go thru the O&O software and disable windows update, then post Fresh FRST logs. Along with scanrapide
 
Last fix list.

Now we tackle the enormous amount of start ups and scheduled task running on your machine. It is simply too much for the amount of Ram you have. You can star these programs any time you need, there is no need to have them running constant on the computer.


Download Autoruns and Autorunsc Unzip it to your desktop and then double click autoruns.exe
After the scan is finished then click on File>>>>>>>>>>>Save
The default name will be autoruns.arn make sure to save it as Autoruns.arn under the file type option.
Attach the text in your next reply. If the file is too large, then use catbox.moe or filedropper.com and send the link in your next reply.

Hi. There seems a security risk. My browser tells me not to download the file because it has poor connection(?) and possibly corrupted.

Edit: It was Insecure Connection not poor connection.
 
Autoruns is fine. I use have used it for many years. :)
 
I see you have Ccleaner installed.
We can disable startups and scheduled task with it.
Start CCleaner Hit tools
Then start up then in the bottom right click save to text file.
Then under scheduled task tab, repeat the same.
post both here for review
 
Right click Autoruns, run as admin.

Uncheck the following. The items I hihglighted on the left.

Then reboot your machine.
