Do Not use advanced tools or any tools used on this board without supervision.
Malware removal can be difficult over a forum as it is, without a user doing their own actions, the tools used are more advanced and thus have added danger that comes with that. This board is protected so that only Malware removers, Admin and Mods can reply to a users thread but all members can create a thread asking for removal of Infection(s)
Make changes to your computer only when the Malware Expert specifically states it. The Malware Experts request specific steps to be followed, as some malware removal requires multiple steps and evaluations along the way. When you take other advice or make other changes, this often negates the work done by the expert, and can sometimes result in an inoperable system. This also includes any tools or steps other than those the from the Malware Expert. We need to be certain about the state of your system to see what actually is going on, and what is required to fix the system while not harming the rest of the system. Most often, well-intentioned independent efforts can make things much worse. The malware remediation tools are more advanced than othe tools, and can often create bigger problems when used without expert guidance.
Follow all the directions in order, and to the end. Please perform all steps in the order they are listed in each set of instructions. As you might imagine, some steps are a bit complicated. If things are not clear, be sure to stop and let the Malware Expert know the problem. We don't mind clarifying a situation, as others might have the same question. If a tool does not run as expected, don't force it. Stop the steps, and update the forum topic with the current situation. It is better stop and let us know, than to force a tool to run and cause bigger problems. Also, when your computer is clean and we are finished, the Expert will tell you we are finished. Malware removal is a process that requires verification, and we want to be sure your system is completely clean before we're done.
When describing your problem, provide as much information as possible, as soon as possible. Explain as best you can what happens with your computer, e.g. it beeps three times, black screen with cursor then goes no further, system gets stuck at the Windows startup logo, etc. This helps the expert to understand what is happening to the system and what may be wrong. If your computer cannot start up successfully please provide details about your installed Windows Operating System, including the Version, Edition and if it is a 32bit or a 64bit system. (e.g. Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit)
When the user follow instructions and things still go a little haywire, and it does happen, it is up to us to sort the extra problem out.
Take longer to read if your language is not English, so that hopefully it is understood.
Reply stating you have read the post fully.
I also if it is busy (have a lot of systems at once to deal with) like being in a supermarket checkout line, waiting their turn, I use the forum like a checkout line.
And the Forum is VERY BUSY at the moment for just 2 Removers, so Please be patient as no one would want us to do a script wrong and hurt someones Computer / System

Read Slowly and all of it and carefully Please download www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/ You need to download both the 32 bit and 64 bit version.Transfer both frst.exe and frst64.exe on to the Flash Drive. Then take the Flash drive and plug it into the infected PC Enter System Recovery Options. (infected system) To enter System Recovery Options from the Advanced Boot Options:
Restart the computer. As soon as the BIOS is loaded begin tapping the F8 key until Advanced Boot Options appears. Use the arrow keys to select the Repair your computer menu item. Choose your language settings, and then click Next. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next. Select your user account and click Next. On the System Recovery Options menu you will get the following options: Startup Repair

Select Command Prompt
In the command window type in notepad and press Enter. The notepad opens. Under File menu select Open. Select " Computer" and find your flash drive letter and close the notepad. If trying frst.exe with the instructions does not work and you get an error message about the Subsystem especially change to frst64 to load.In the command window type e:\frst.exe (for x64 bit version type e:\frst64.exe) and press Enter Note: Replace letter e with the drive letter of your flash drive. The tool will start to run. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer. Press Scan button. It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. restart the system and load Windows Please attach the log in your reply back, Or with this forum you can paste the log into a message as some logs are already for bb code Quads

I went to download the recovery tool for the 32bit version. warning bar opened: "FRST.exe is not commonly downloaded and could harm your computer." I selected:"run anyways" message box opens (user account control): "make changes to computer?" I selected "Yes" message box (Farbar Recover scan tool): this version is not compatible with your OS. please use FRST64
I downloaded 64bit version to my flash drive with no issues.
