Look, it wasn't even that "infected" to begin with. At this point, unless you've already gone through the trouble of a full Windows reinstall to wipe out all that junk from System Mechanic Professional and similar bloatware, you aren't truly done.
Elizabeth Adams11 said:Can someone help me with this part? (did you clear out everything from the startup? winkey+R---msconfig---startup?)
I already have Malwarebytes, but where am I supposed to upload the log?
It's all right there in the instructions.
Hit the Windows key and the R key at the same time on your keyboard. Type msconfig and hit Enter. A new window will pop up. Go to the Startup tab and uncheck every single program listed under startup.
Just copy the log and paste it here; it should open in Notepad.
Did you make sure to move everything out of the startup? Hit winkey+R, type in msconfig, and check the startup tab. After that, head over to the Boot tab and select Safe boot along with Network. Download Malwarebytes, run a scan, and wipe out anything it detects. Once the scan finishes, it’ll generate a log; copy and paste it here.
First off, it would be helpful if the OP actually specified which motherboard they're working with. For instance, on an ASUS board, Recovery is frequently mapped to the 3 key, whereas other manufacturers tend to use F8, F10, or F12 depending on the specific model.
Like my colleagues already pointed out, you need to verify whether a recovery partition even exists on this drive.🙂
Nicholas Miller6 Try installing the drivers from the CD that came with your graphics card. If you're still getting a BSOD after that, your card is officially dead in the water.😢
Wait until it actually finishes... The screenshot you posted was taken right when it started booting Mem-test. It needs to run through the entire memory test; once the screen displays "FINISH," then we have something to look at. If any red text shows up, your RAM is toast.
