SCANS I DID HOPE THESE ARE RIGHT

FixCleaner seems to have an adware infection.

You should remove the folder as well as the file

Use Windows Explorer to find and delete this folder:

FixCleaner

As an example:
To delete C:\WINDOWS\badfile.dll
Double click the My Computer icon on your Desktop. Or click on the Windows KEY + E.
Double click on Local Disc (C:\)
Double click on the Windows folder,
Right click on badfile.dll and then from the menu that appears, click on Delete

How's the machine running?

Oh wow, I ran malwarebytes this morning and I have a whole new problem. I must have activated it somehow, don't remember but I was half asleep anyway.

Plus I keep getting this popup message about "potentially harmful stuff".

I just saw your note to me don't know why didn't see it before about Fix Cleaner.
I don't think I have Windows Explorer or if I do it doesn't work.
Is there another way to do it?

I thought things were getting better but today its been increased popups of that ordinal dll thing missing.

Okay, can you run MBAM again but make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected


Then please run ESET

• Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
  ESET OnlineScan
• Click the button.
• For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
  • Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on the icon on your desktop.
• Check
• Click the button.
• Accept any security warnings from your browser.
• Leave the top box checked and then check
• Push the Start button.
• ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
• When the scan completes, push
• Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
• Push the button.
• Push

NOTE: If no malware is found then no log will be produced. Let me know if this is the case.

I cannot locate that c:\windows\badfile you refer to?

I will rerun the other 2 as you suggest now.

That was just an example file to show you how to delete files/folders. All we want is for the FixCleaner folder to go.

I did the ESET again and it said one problem found. But when I clicked on finish this screen popped up saying I should buy something else and I couldn't get rid of that screen so eventually I got that page closed but then I lost the report so I am having to scan again.

I have got a deadline and have been on my Apple computer all day I will run another scan later tonight when I get through with this. Thanks mole.

No problem. I will be back on the 3rd of March - see my signature.

Okay, mole, thank you. I will run one then right before you are coming back I will run late afternoon Wednesday.

Are you ready to continue?

Yes, Mole, not meaning to keep you waiting. So tell me what you want to do now. Since you've been gone I am still having trouble with the iertutil.dll issue and I found a link on Microsoft help forum which I thought might help but I couldn't get it to work. Some people suggested to download another Internet Explorer to see if it would fix the missing/corrupt .dll file but whatever I try to install it says I have the wrong one (I have 32/64 bit computer and I guess each is seperate.

Anyway, I have run scans when I seem to have more trouble and the only thing that showed up was an Adaware problem.

I have totally lost track in the confusion what you want me to do and where we are in this.

I'm sorry to be slowing you down but if you tell me what to do I will take care of it asap.

Thanks Mole.

You can start with another ESET scan - you said the last one didn't provide a scan.

Okay, Mole, I have it started scanning now, I forget how long this one takes but I just started the scan.

I did do the scan you requested last night and it came up negative on anything harmful or different. When I tried to save the log it seems my computer was locked up (I feel asleep so it was hours later) and I couldn't save it but it was okay.

Since I cannot get anywhere with this iertutil.dll missing internet explorer file it appears I will have to reinstall everything/wipe out what I have. If I do that and there is something wrong/virus/trojan, etc. will it be reinstalled.

I have been using a backup service and I'm not sure about that either, would it pick up a bug if there was one so it would be reinstalled?

I will run any other test you say. Thanks Mole
