Re: A whole lot of damage

Thanks for your reply. There was one more thing that wasn't working that I forgot to mention, the HP Simple Pass fingerprint reader for logging in. There may have been more. Fortunately I did have a system image, and I restored everything. I have to say I was more than surprised that 18 items were flagged for deletion, I have MalwareBytes and AntiExploit Premium running, I am very picky when it...

Best regards,

A whole lot of damage

I just ran the latest version of Ad-Aware. It found 18 items to remove. I clicked OK. Restarted the laptop (HP Envy, 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 4GB VRAM). On bootup I found that Mailwasher icon was not in the Task bar, in fact it was not running. Then I found that Mailbird, my e-mail program wasn't running. Then I found that the touch feature of the touchpad wasn't working. (I could not slide up and ...

Re: Adwcleaner false positive? SOLVED

ran a registry cleaner to clean up some dead software links etc.  this seemed to remove that registry entry that was throwing off adwcleaner.  reran adwcleaner and there are now no threats picked up.
