I don't think anything found in either scan. Definitely nothing in Adware. I didn't do Basic Repair.

 

Here's ESET Log

Whoops! Had all this done yesterday and was waiting for your response but I think I forgot to click Post as well. I'm putting in flooring at the same time so distracted.

 

Nothing found with Adaware nor Eset. Here's Eset log

Can't tell because I'm not using it until we're done.

 

System Log says ACPI Bios errors. Here's just one

Hi!

 

Please use the computer as you normally would and let me know if you spot anything.

 

As for the error, this is not related to malware, but rather to either the version of your BIOS and/or the version of your GPU driver, so I would recommend you contact your hardware vendor about that. If the computer is running normally, I wouldn't be too concerned as some errors within the Event Viewer are normal. :)

All seems pretty good. No major errors and things pretty normal.

 

Thanks heaps for what you've done. I'm not sure I was all that buggy but we got a few things cleaned up and settings back right.

 

Thank you.

 

What language do they speak in Croatia? Is there a Croatia language? How do you say hello and thank you? Just spell it as it sounds.

Hi!

 

Your computer is now clean.

Right click on the FRST icon and rename it to Uninstall. Right click on it again, select Run as administrator and FRST will delete itself. You may also delete any other tools or reports created during the thread.

 

A couple of tips:

 

It was a pleasure assisting you and getting your machine back to working order!

P.S.

 

The language is called Croatian and the words you are looking for are: Bok! (Hello!) and Hvala! (Thank you!) :)

It appears that this issue is resolved, therefore I am closing the topic. If that is not the case and you need or wish to continue with this topic, please send me or any Moderator a Personal Message (PM) that you would like this topic re-opened.
