    This will sort things for you.

    • Download Fixlist.txt **** to the same folder FRST is in
    • Run FRST and press Fix
    • The PC will reboot to complete the fix

    Please upload the Fixlog and let me know how things are running.

    This is quite possibly script based malware. Please upload and share logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST).

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/

    • Run FRST and press Scan.
    • Two logs are created in the folder that FRST is run from, FRST.txt and Addition.txt.
    • Upload the logs to OneDrive, Google Drive or any file sharing service.
    • Post the share link.

    Note: If you are downloading FRST with Edge, smartscreen will initially block it.

    Click on the 3 dots next to the warning and select Keep-> Show more-> Keep anyway.

    Hi, at present the logs are inaccessible. Please change the sharing permissions.
