What is this software, what is its purpose: (Nenad Hrg (SoftwareOK.com)) C:\Users\User\Desktop\AutoHideMouseCursor.exe

What are these strange entries in your downloads folder.....

Regarding iTunes, there is a helper running at boot, what is its function, what does it do:

HKLM\...\Run: [iTunesHelper] => C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe [176952 2016-07-05] (Apple Inc.)

I see that you`ve disabled that entry via msconfig...

FRST logs are not showing anything malcious or infected...

[Halffull]

The auto hide mouse cursor is to stop me from seeing the mouse loading when I'm reading not moving it or waiting for something to load

The downloads you asked about I had never noticed. I clicked on properties and saw " This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help this computer" It also said it was available online and had full control. I cannot open them

I can't find I tunes helper on my computer. I had an issue with I tunes working for a long time so the helper being disabled could of helped but I'm not sure

 

 

[kevinf80]

If the mouse software is not working correctly try uninstall and then reinstall, same goes for iTunes....  The odd files that show in your Downloads folder should really be deleted if you are not sure of them, what there purpose is etc...

If no other issues or concerns run the following to clean up:

Download "Delfix by Xplode" and save it to your desktop. Or use the following if first link is down: "Delfix link mirror" If your security program alerts to Delfix either, accept the alert or turn your security off. Double Click to start the program. If you are using Vista or higher, please right-click and choose run as administrator Make Sure the following items are checked:   Remove disinfection tools <----- this will remove tools we have used. Purge System Restore <--- this will remove all previous and possibly exploited restore points, a new point relative to system status at present will be created. Reset system settings <--- this will reset any system settings back to default that were changed either by us during cleansing or malware/infection Now click on "Run" and wait patiently until the tool has completed. The tool will create a log when it has completed. We don't need you to post this. Any remnant files/logs from tools we have used can be deleted… Next, Read the following links to fully understand PC Security and Best Practices, you may find them useful.... Answers to Common Security Questions and best Practices Do I need a Registry Cleaner? Take care and surf safe Kevin...

[Halffull]

I couldn't log in to my main account just a morning after watching a youtube video of a hacker (was curious to know If I'm being hacked) . Then in the comments I saw somebody say you should change somebody's password for  when  they next try and log in. I typed my  password in 3 times and it didn't work so I'm using another one of my accounts.

 

I am going to try and delete my strange files in downloads

I accidently quoted you sorry about that
