    Hi.
    You'd probably want to run Malwarebytes again in the WinPESE environment, until it shows nothing found - sometimes deleting some malware allows others to show.

    Once finished, I would boot into safe mode and reset all browsers on the system - whether you use them all or not.
    reset edge
    Microsoft Edge - Reset to Default in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
    reset all browsers

    .
    Then I would boot into normal mode and run RKILL. RKIL will stop malicious processes from running until a reboot.
    Then run (scan then clean) ADWCleaner. ADWCleaner will reboot the machine to finish the cleaning.
    Then run JRT.

    That should do it. Feel free to post any logs if you'd like some evaluation of what you got.

    Sure. You need to boot the computer to Kyhi's Rescue Media (a WinPESE environment) by either making a CD or flash drive. Malwarebytes can then be updated and run on the operating system drive (while it's not in use and the infections are not active). I would run it until it finds nothing, then reboot the system into safe mode and continue on.

    Yes, that's correct. But you said it found 37 items. I'd like to see that run again, until it finds nothing, because sometimes when you get rid of some malware, others that were hidden begin to show as they've been exposed.

    Hi there , I ran the kyhi,s disc again and ran the malwarebytes . The results were clear . There were no threats. But after that I ran the bit defender disc and 2 threatsvshowedbup . Application.agent.mz and trojan.genericKD.2754010 - I chose disinfect from the drop down box when the scan had finished but that failed - said 2 threats still presrnt on system. Then tried delete from drop down box but would not delete .

    Try this.
    All Settings, Update and Security, Windows Defender.
    Scroll down to Windows Defender Offline and click on "Scan Offline".....see attachment.
