My laptop Windows Vista opens to a gray screen with the words Microsoft windows Vista at the top and Memory diagnostic tool at the bottom. Memory diagnostic tool said no errors. Ran diagnostic on F12 key -- said no problem. Ran Avast anti virus -- found nothing. The only way to open computer is to select Microsoft Windows Vista -- select Enter and wait through numerous beeps. I got instructions from Ambucias to download ZHPDiag2, start a new topic in virus-security and send the URL from the test.

I hope this is what you need. It still installed with mostly French so I had to guess a little.

Hello,

OK, so, when you remove the folder of Speed Cleaner, it reappear just after a reboot of the computer ?

I replied to this question but when I hit submit, it was not accepted. Sorry if you get two replies

Actually SearchProtect reappreard.

Speed Cleaner does not run as it used to. I only found these indications of it in the Quarantine section of ZHP when I ran a search:

1. Speed Cleaner. DIR

2. Speed Cleaner. exe. config.

Under the # 1 are all the files I deleted manually a few days ago. Shall I eliminate these files?

Could Speed Cleaner be buried in the registry? If so, where should I look?

Hello,

OK, two possibilities :

- A planified task reintalle the programs after their removing.

- A protection (as Avast) prevents the suppression.

Run again ZHPDiag, we will see the planified tasks.
Otherwise, I will give you another tool which maybe solve the problem.

This was run with Avast enabled. I got two reports on Note Pad. Between them there was an error message in French. I couldn't get it copied before it went off. All I got was -- Violation d'acces a'--. I did not get the rest of it and I don't know how to put the accent marks in. Sorry, I am not familiar with French.

Hello,

OK it's better. :)

Please run again Shrotcut_Module, as the last time : https://ccm.net/forum/affich-746882-virus-hampering-boot-on-windows-vista#15

Verify it is up to date after running it.

I can't get Short_Module to run. I tried to download it again. I was unable to install it. It just ran. I watched it run. It said there were several viruses and then it reported them to Google. I did not tell it to do that.

Should I install what I have left of the first time we used short_Module. There is no exe file to run. There is a quarantine file and a file with the dll's in it

Nothing like you said to look for.

What shall I do now.

No. I tried to delete the app and then download it again. I got most of it off. All that is left is a protect_module. It will not let me delete it as an admin. I did check task manager and it is running under processes.

Is it safe for me to stop the process?

What am I doing wrong?

You've ran Shortcut_Module and clicked on Clean ?

Yes. I am positive I did that. What was unusual was that I could not install it on the desktop like you said. It looked like it was "floating" on top of the desktop.

Apr 28, 2014 at 07:46 PM

I don't know. I have only used Shortcut_Module three times. I can tell you it worked differently the times I ran it yesterday than the first time you had me run it. That time I was able to find the report and there was nothing about submitting the "viruses" to Google.

This may be the report you need. It has the right date.

Something has happened and I don't know what. Avast said it blocked an infection: URL : MAL
URL h_d_khb09w com_xuiow_?g was the message.

When I click on Google Chrome, I get Bing. I have never used Bing.

Something is wrong. Can you help?

Hello,

It's very strange because the title of the report is the good, but it's not a report Shortcut_Module...

Run again ZHPDiag, we will see if we there is Bing and always Speed Cleaner.

I never mentioned this but after the Dell splash screen the next screen is titled Windows Boot Manager. You may have known that anyway.

I cannot believe I never noticed this as I stared at that screen for such long times but neither can I believe that it just appeared yesterday so I just don't know. But the title is now Windows Boot Manager followed by Microsoft Windows Vista and Memory Diagnostics as choices. I get to Vista by selecting the first one and pressing Enter.

Sorry for the omission.

You will get two reports because I ran the first as me and it would not deal with a couple of apps so I switched to admin.

The first is the one I ran as me.

You may get this twice. All of my links that helped me get to things are gone. Anyway I downloaded MBAM. Unfortunately, the site was in French and Bing did not have a translate option. I think I guessed fairly well though. There are two logs because on the May second one, I could not find what you wanted. By the May 2 one, I did locate everything, I think, There were fairly long so I uploaded them.

They were different so I will include both.

Yes it's OK for MBAM.
The account where you do all the manipulations, it is an administrateur account or a simple user ?
