Scan is posted below. Note: I do have a pending windows update, which have not installed yet due to scans. I have read this may affect error in DISM scan.

OK, lets use SFC to check your files instead, please do the following ....

• Start FRST in a similar manner to when you ran a scan earlier, but this time when it opens ....
• Press Ctrl+y (Ctrl and y keys at the same time)
• A blank randomly named .txt Notepad file will open.
• Copy and paste the following into it ....

CMD: sfc /scannow

• Press Ctrl+s to save fixlist.txt

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user. Running it on another machine may cause damage to your operating system

• Now press the Fix button once and wait.
• FRST will process fixlist.txt and run a System File Check (this can take a while to complete).
• When finished, it will produce a log fixlog.txt in the same folder/directory as FRST64.exe
• Please post me the log

Should I wait until scans are complete/you notify to do windows update ?

 

[Gary R]

You should be OK to update now.

Once you've finished updating, please let me know how your computer is behaving.

 

[edge10]

Updated all Important Updates as of yesterday and pc ok so far. New Windows Stack Update just issued today. I will do update, run system and post back.

 

[Gary R]

OK, talk to you then.

 

[edge10]

Win Stack update complete. So far I only noticed an Adobe font that failed to load, but Adobe was updated also. There are some Event viewer errors.

 

[Gary R]

There will always be some Event Viewer errors even on a healthy machine, so unless you're experiencing any difficulties on your machine then I wouldn't worry too much about them.

From the sound of things, I think we're pretty much finished, so if you're happy with things please let me know, and I'll give you instructions for how to safely remove FRST from your computer.

 

[edge10]

So far so good with the pc. So, I guess we can remove FRST. Maybe we can go over my pc security and any recommendations for improvement.

Some Start up programs will be reinstalled at a later date. They were disabled improve the performance of the machine since they were a resource drain and mostly cause by Dell installed programs . Any input on reinstall would be appreciated.

 

[Gary R]

To uninstall FRST and remove all its files, please do the following ...

• Rename FRST64.exe to Uninstall.exe
• Double click on Uninstall.exe to launch it.
  • Your computer will reboot, and on reboot will remove FRST and all its files.

As far as security goes, I wrote an article some time back for another forum I help out at, it's a little bit dated now, but much of what I wrote then still holds true today.

https://www.malwareremoval.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=557960#p557960

Only thing I'd say further on that topic, is that I now recommend people to use Microsoft Defender (used to be called Windows Defender) for their Anti-Virus needs. It's now a much more capable product than it used to be, and since it's built in to Windows, it integrates better, and causes fewer problems than 3rd party AV products do.

 

[edge10]

FRST64.exe is uninstalled. Does the esetonlinescanner.exe need to be uninstalled also ?

Is there anything more that needs to be done with browser security? I had the Browser Safety enabled in FF.

 

[Gary R]

If you followed the instructions in my post for e-set (post #23) ....

On the next screen, you can leave feedback about the program if you wish. Check the box for Delete application data on closing. If you left feedback, click Submit and continue. If not, Close without feedback.

... you should not have e-set on your computer.

If it is still present, then the easiest way to remove it, is to run another scan, and this time when the option to do so is available ... Check the box for Delete application data on closing

As far as browsers go, most of the major browsers are secure enough, as long as you browse sensibly and don't expect miracles. Most have a number of security settings, which can be adjusted to make them more secure, though the more "secure" you make things, the less functional the browser will tend to be.

Security is always a trade off, and you've just got to decide which has precedence for you, security or functionality, and adjust things to get the balance you want.

 

[edge10]

I will try to run the Eset scan again with the box checked ( I thought it was checked during the first scan) and post back if there is a problem. Thanks for all the help , I really appreciated it.

 

[Gary R]

Talk to you then.

 

[Gary R]

It's now 6 days since I last posted, and no reply, so I think it's about time this topic was closed.

I will not be re-opening it.
