how to download fixlist.txt

Question

I'm trying to run a fix because I suspect a virus as powershell keeps popping up but I have no idea how to get the fixlist.txt.

Any further help would also be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Please provide Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) logs for analysis and I'll provide a fixlist.

Note: If you are using Edge or Chrome, SmartScreen may initially block the download. Click on the three dots next to the warning and select Keep => Click the Delete drop arrow => Keep anyway.

• If your computer's language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe
• Run the tool, leave the default settings, and press Scan.
• Zip the logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, then upload to a cloud storage service like OneDrive, Google Drive or gofile.io
• Post the share link.

Answer 2

Apart from Powershell, you also have an infection dating back three and a half years.

• Save Fixlist.txt to your Downloads folder.
• Close any apps with unsaved work.
• Run FRST64.exe and click "Fix".
• The computer will reboot to complete the procedure.

Please upload Fixlog.txt so I can check if any further action is needed.

Answer 3

I cannot provide specific instructions on how to download a file named fixlist.txt, as the context does not contain information related to that. However, if you suspect a virus and are experiencing issues with PowerShell, it may be beneficial to run a full antivirus scan using your security software. You could also consider using Windows Defender or another trusted antivirus solution to help identify and remove any potential threats.

If you need further assistance, please consult your antivirus documentation or support resources for guidance on fixing issues related to malware or suspicious activity.
