![]() "Real life" does get in the way of my avocation to eradicate malware! Thank you again for your kind words. I am going offline until tomorrow afternoon, so there is no rush on the new scan logs. I would like to make a final reconnaissance of your computer and I also want to identify the anti-malware scanners and cleaners that we used, so that we can delete the anti-malware applications, and remnants thereof, that you don't want to keep, in the next post. Please provide me with a fresh set of FRST logs. Once you have run the Malwarebytes Support Tool tool successfully, you can manually delete that file as well. Please let me know if you did uninstall Malwarebytes. If you don't want to keep Malwarebytes installed on your computer, please go to this link to download the latest version of the Malwarebytes Support Tool, select the "Advanced" menu, and then "Clean" to remove all traces of Malwarebytes. If you have Malwarebytes installed, I would suggest that you keep it. Please let me know what you decide to do. If you have ESET installed on your computer, you may keep it, or you can go to the Control Panel and uninstall that program. If there are any anti-malware tools that you want to keep, please let me know, although it is always advisable to download the latest versions of those tools, since they are updated so frequently. You might check out this link, and there are many others like it, if you "google" the subject. ![]() ![]() I have an older laptop (10.5 years old), running Windows 10, and it takes it some time for it to get "settled" when booting, not surprisingly. ![]() It is most definitely not a malware-related issue. Another issue is the tremendous number of tasks and processes that your computer launches on booting, which is more than the average, so yes, you might consider reducing the number of programs you launch on boot. You have a very capable computer, but the lack of free space on the boot drive may be responsible for some of the problem. The icon refresh issue is most likely related to the load on your computer during booting. Many users never thank us, and we are all unpaid volunteers, who have spent many hours learning the malware removal "trade", and then volunteer countless hours helping others. By the way, I forgot to thank you for your kind words in your previous post. ![]()
