OK, now we can begin. And there are a few other uninstalls I would like you to take care of, along with the programs we already talked about before.
1. P2P program
You have
Bittorrent installed in your computer. This is a
P2P program. P2P programs form a direct conduit on to a computer. They have always been a target of malware writers and are increasingly so of late. P2P security measures are easily circumvented and if your P2P program is not configured correctly, you may be sharing more files than you realize. There have been cases where people's passwords, address books and other personal, private, and financial details have been exposed to the file sharing network by a badly configured program. If you don't uninstall it, your computer will probably get infected again, as soon as you use it again. But it is your computer and of course your decision.
- If you decide to keep it, DON'T use it during the cleaning procedure.
- If you decide to uninstall it, uninstall it now.
2. Java
There are very few reasons these days to continue having Java installed on your computer. However, if you do elect to keep Java, it needs to be updated to the latest version which you can find here: J
ava SE Runtime Environment 8 - Downloads.
For now, please uninstall:
Java 8 Update 171 (HKLM-x32\...\{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F32180171F0}) (Version: 8.0.1710.11 - Oracle Corporation)
Java 8 Update 271 (64-bit) (HKLM\...\{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-2F64180271F0}) (Version: 8.0.2710.9 - Oracle Corporation)
3. Wondershare
You won't need the following program, so please uninstall it now:
Wondershare Helper Compact 2.6.0
4. Popcorn Time
Popcorn Time is advertised as a program that will allow you to watch movies online for free. Although this may sound like a useful service, the Popcorn Time program is adware, thus it is detected by all the tools we use for cleaning a system. So, please uninstall that too.
5. Fresh FRST logs
After the above removals, please attach for me fresh FRST logs to check.
In your next reply please post:
- What did you decide to do with the Torrent client
- If uninstalling Java, Popcorn Time and the Wondershare program ran smoothly
- The fresh FRST logs, Addition and FRST
