Dam redirects etc. I am my wits end, no hair left.

I have tried many times using Malware removal, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition and a few more.
They say they find and fix but nothing seems to change.
I keep getting many pop up adds.
Also get many redirects and word on pages that display as links.
I went into add and remove programs and got rid of anything I didn't recognize.
Any ideas?
Thanks
James

It has been over month and unfortunately it can't wait because there is a timer on it before the changes become permanent. Thanks for your willingness to help others. Could any of you please tell me if reseting to factory would fix this problem?

Of course after I just got help for my sister's laptop, now it seems I'm infected with something. Everytime I open my Google browser I keep getting popups from Avast saying it blocked a harmful webpage. Such as:

I installed Adware Cleaner and copied and pasted the following report.

Hi
My PC has been hacked .
First on logging into any user account two cmd windows open and then a dialogue comes that your system will reboot for upgrade.
And before reboot my default browser opens and there is a message from the hackers.
The names are Jon Snow on Ygritte I'm Not sure about the second one.
But the PC works fine in safe mode.

Trying to remove Inspasio.exe

I have been trying to remove inspasio.exe from my computer for a little while now but I have found myself unable to do so! I had tried numerous things and nothing has prevailed so far so I thought I would try and get some help from an expert seeing is how im definitely no expert on these types of things! I have malwarebytes but that does not seem to remove it, the problem lies with inspasio.exe making my computer lag and slower by maximizing the cpu usage! I have found the file and have tried deleting it but it will not let me! I am the admin on my cpu but I can not get permission to delete this malware! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I saw this posted earlier after searching on this forum and the reply seemed very specfic, from OCD, so I thought I would request a reply from my specific problem. I use AOL for my email and each time I open an email I get a new open window, usually several, with the address "http://securepaths.com/pixel.cgi" It does not seem to be causing any problems but then again I'm no computer genius. Can anyone help to remove whatever is causing this?

Hi there,

I'm pretty sure everything was running fine until I downloaded a VLC player (which I have removed recently). My computer began shutting down and rebooting after giving me a blue screen. That's since stopped, but now my mouse constantly starts freezing. Occasionally it will allow me to move it after a few minutes but remains unstable. Often, when my computer monitor powers out and goes to the black screen in hibernation, I cannot wake it by moving the mouse. I have tried several different mice and still have the same problem.

I have run the avg scan, the malwarebytes scan, and a spybot scan. Still the same problem.

Hi,
After owning my laptop for several months now, it might be time to do some cleanup. Not just to reduce a slow response time but also to rid the system of a probable malware infection .
I really dont want to introduce anymore system cleanup software programs . As this is where I may have downloaded a virus or malware.
Now last night, things came to a head when I could not access my aol mail .........each and everytime I got an error: username and password not recognized .
What the heck ? I have only a few password variations and each one produced the same error msg

Obviously, I have an issue right malware right now. I would appreciate any help in getting my computer clean and responsive like before.

Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
  • Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Make sure that under Optional Scans, there is a checkmark on Addition.txt and Shortcut.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please copy and paste it to your reply.
  • The tool will also produce another two logs (Addition.txt and Shortcut.txt). Please attach these to your reply.

Internet Issues: Automatically Completing Passwords, Links in E-Mails Not Working, et

eddie 5659, thanks for the reply. I didn't receive an e-mail that you replied but when I checked TSG I saw your reply there. I tried running SystemLook again and a the program produced another report, but I find the computer really can't stay connected to the Internet long enough to send the report in a reply. The computer takes a little while to connect, and then when I click on a link in a site, I get a message saying that the connection was lost. All in all, after installing more RAM the computer is running very well, with the exception of the Internet. I bought the "mini" computer to take with me when travelling and not being able to surf the Internet is a real hindrance. Do you have any suggestions as to why the Internet keeps disconnecting whenever I click on a link within a site? Thanks again for your help.

Browsers are taken over-Windows says isn't authentic

I have a laptop (SysInfo below) that I loaned to my son while I fixed some broken hardware on his. When I got it back, the browsers are jacked...always popping up windows wanting me to download some utility, messages saying my system is seriously compromised and must call a number for tech support, wont let me exit pages, can't keep up with the popups, etc..

While I had it, I used MS security essentials and their malicious sw removal tool and on occasion malwarebytes. Since he only had limited access to the internet, he downloaded and blogged what he needed--just did his own thing, isn't into anything covert, but not all that careful. And, he did not keep the MS tools updated or scanned and Malwarebytes updates were way outdated. Through a lot of effort I was able to uninstall malwarebytes, uninstall Java, and update MS security essentials, and downloaded the latest copy of their malware removal tool. Other than wanting to just get the laptop generally cleaned up so I can use the browsers and java again, I have two major concerns. First, when I got the laptop back, it now says I don't have a legitimate copy of windows anymore, which it is (Was Vista OEM, but upgraded to a legitimate version of 7), and the second concern I have is that when security essentials was updated and scanned, it came back with a message saying that items detected on my system need further analysis by MS to determine if they are malicious. The path for what they are looking at is: C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\SanDisk\SanDiskSecureAccess_Manager.exe . I have to check the entry (it was the only one found) and then choose to send the report to MS or not. I'm a little uneasy sending it to MS, first because my experience with info that gets reported to most organizations generally merits no response and thus no assistance either. The thing I'm a little concerned over is that they are asking to evaluate a utility that comes stock with every sandisk usb flashdrive for allowing you to save files on their drives with SanDisk proprietary encryption. I guess my concern is with the file they are wanting to examine more closely (I know this sounds a little paranoid when it comes to corporate espionage--and I'm not a conspiracy freak by any measure). First because of the proprietary encryption, and second, because it's under my user profile (I created a windows user profile he could use while he had it), especially now that it's saying I don't have a valid windows license. I don't want to be busted for going against anything in their windows agreement and loose the license (that is if it's not already lost). I'm sure I've plugged dozens of flash drives into the laptop, as has my son. So my specific questions are:
1. Should I send the info to MS they are requesting?
2. How do I get my old laptop back in working order?
3. I'm even wary about making backups of it in it's current condition--if there's all kinds of ugliness on there, I'm not sure if I want a copy of whatever it is, roaming around on my external backup hard drive--and there's too much stuff to backup to DVD and, btw, the burner has stopped burning any disks as well he said.

Any and all help is appreciated. I know it's an old dog of a box, but it's been a good laptop and I'd really like to hang onto it for a backup or second machine still. Thx in advance!
