  1. Updated .NET Framework successfully. Was not asked to restart but did so (out of precaution). MWB Support Tool uninstalled and reinstalled MWB successfully as well. Checked and the "right click" scan with MWB is fully functional again. Also ran a full scan and all is clear. Thanks so much for your help. Cheers. p.s. The MWB support tool did not leave a desktop icon (or one that I can find or create a shortcut toward). I still have the install download (as well as the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool that was leftover) which I will save. Did the tool leave an "installed" program on my pc (or is this an "extract and run as needed" temporary thing). Thanks.
  2. Hello. Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the tool and attempted to extract it and got the ".NET 4.0 Updates are required...etc". I opened Windows Update and found the following under "optional updates": (3) updates each labled: Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on Windows..etc.. as well as this: Microsoft .NET 4.8 for Windows 7 for x64 Should I download each incremental update or go straight to 4.8? Also...this is my backup PC running Windows 7. No malware detected (on multiple scans). Cheers.
  3. Hello. I do regular bi-weekly system scans with Malwarebytes free (with no issues whatsoever). Today I wanted to scan a recently downloaded file. I right click the file/folder and have the option to scan with all of my available Spyware/Malware programs. All of them work....except Malwarebytes. The option is there to "Scan With Malwarebytes" but it does not open or "fire up" the program. Not a huge deal (I reckon) but this has always worked in the past for me (with MB Free). Any tips appreciated. I just updated to 4.4.5.130 today and "Windows Explorer Settings" is toggled "on" and it still won't open for a designated folder/file scan. AGAIN...running a regular scan works fine and right clicking to run a scan with other programs (i.e. MSE) works as expected. Thanks in advance. Cheers.
  4. MrC....on a whim I decided to flush all temporary files with CCleaner and then reboot. "RECYCLER" is now gone. Everything looks good. If I have any other issues (related to this incident)should I re-open this topic or start a new one?
  5. MrC...that isn't working (for some reason). I keep getting an "Access Is Denied" message. Hmmmm.
  6. MrC....I have selected "do not show hidden files and folders" both in control panel and on each drive. I have "ticked" and "unticked" the box multiple times...yet the RECYCLER folder still shows up (on both drives) despite any settings changes. Any thoughts? Cheers.
  7. MrC....just a couple of things. My computer has three hard drives (two drives for various media files in addition to the C program drive). The two media drives are now displaying an empty folder named "RECYCLER". When I click to open them there is nothing there. I also cannot delete them. Also.....i guess I have kissed "Autorun" for my removable drives goodbye forever (due to ComboFix)? Your insight appreciated. Cheers.
  8. Okay, MrC. I've unistalled ComboFix and Adwcleaner and run OTL in "Cleanup" mode to get rid of it. I also manually deleted all other programs and files we've used today. I have subsequently updated Java, Adobe Reader and Firefox to current software specs (for my XP machine). The ship seems to be running nicely now, Captain. Any other instructions appreciated. Cheers.

  10. MrC...per your instructions attached here is the AdwCleaner removal log info. AdwCleanerS2.zip
  11. Hi MrCharlie. Attached is the AdwCleaner Log file. I've looked it over and (to be honest) I can't make heads or tails of any of the items on there. Please have a look at it and advise me if anything looks important enough to keep. Thanks again for all your help. Cheers. AdwCleanerR1.zip
  12. MrCharlie, I got ComboFix to run in safe mode successfully. I've attached the log for you. Cheers. CFLog.zip
  13. MrCharlie, do I just dump the current ComboFix in the recycle bin or do I need to completely uninstall it?
