Hey there,

I'm damn lucky because I had backed up my registry 2 days ago (I forgot until coming across another forum thread.) I just imported it into my registry and although the import did not fully complete (as some elements were currently in use), I WAS able to access the boot menu with F8 and choose Safe Mode after. Whew!

Next thing: AdwCleaner crashed on me at the end as I said, and it h...

Hi, thanks for responding.

Well that should be good news!

Is the log file the same as the application file in Malwarebytes? It is not very detailed....

Here is the last file of the last scan I did (of several):

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware www.malwarebytes.org

As AdwCleaner is recommended for adware/pups, I thought I'd try it out to see if Malwarebytes found everything.

The scan itself was quick, but the removing part took longer, and when it got to the end it crashed (screen went wonky and discoloured, my disabled avira taskbar icon had a big red x through it) and restarted. ...

So, to remove UCGuard, can you try this:

• Click on the tab Settings -> Detection & Protection -> PUP/PUM and check "Treat these detections like malware".
• Tab Exam choose Threats, click on Scan now, and click on Launch the exam.

It's not really clear, but IOBit is usually considered as PUP, so you can remove them, especially if you do not have installed the software yourself.

Hello,

By the way, I've run Malwarebytes several times (including treating PUP and PUMs as malware) and have come up completely clean. Only AdwCleaner is listing these five items as "threats."

Here you go:

By the way, I scanned numerous programs including Malwarebytes, HitmanPro, Windows Defender, Junkware Remover, and Adwcleaner. Adwcleaner was the only one who recognized it.I also scanned mutiple times and it doesn't seem to want to go away.

Thank you for your help :)
