Hello and Welcome.
Please subscribe to this thread to get immediate notification of replies as soon as they are posted. Read this post completely before begining the fix. If there's anything that you do not understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding. Save the following instructions in Notepad as this webpage would not be available when you're carrying out the fix.
We're gonna disinfect this machine using a series of fixes. It is IMPORTANT that you don't miss a step & perform everything in the correct order/sequence.

Please do the following:
Download & immediately run -
L2MFix.exe
Click "Install" to extract the contents to a newly created folder.
Close any programs you have open since this step requires a reboot.
- From the l2mfix folder, double click l2mfix.bat
- Select option #2 for Run Fix by typing 2 and then pressing enter ONCE.
Do NOT depress any keys on your keyboard until the tool request you to "press any key to reboot"
On the reboot notepad will open with a log.
Copy/paste the contents of that log back into this thread when you have finished the rest of the fix. If after the reboot the log does not open double click on it in the
l2mfix folder to locate log.txt.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT run any other files in the l2mfix folder unless you are asked to do so!
If you receive an error - \system32\Autoexec.nt is not suitable for running MS-Dos applications, you will need to visit this website to download additional files.
