ran both the adwcleaner and malwarebytes and rebooted - both found some things to clean up. Ran them again after reboot and they came back clean now. Thanks. Hopefully it is gone for good ;)

Hi Ken,

My popup is not exactly the same but pretty similar. On the couple of times that I saw it, I just closed the tab to make it go away.

Here's what I have in my recent apps:

Hi,

I just started seeing the popup in Firefox a few days ago. I ran a Windows Defender full scan and nothing was detected. I saw it again today, so I am a little worried that there is something...

I ran through the Avast uninstall again. I think it missed them before as I might have chosen the wrong version. Mine was the free version. Just did an Everything search for some of the drivers I...

I did use that tool. When my system is back, I'll try it again. Would that be why the verifier dies such an instant death?

I just noticed in the driver verification choices, there's a lot of AVAST drivers. I thought those should have been removed with the remove tool? 180219

OK, done. I'll start the process again.

I don't think it gave me any option for bug check when I got the bluescreen. I'll take a photo next time but it really dies fast, before any menus or clickable stuff is available. All I could do...

I started the verifier, checked all boxes as appropriate and rebooted. It did not take long before it blue screened & collected logs for about a minute till 100%, then I rebooted again, and same...

zbook, make an image of just the C: drive? Is that in addition to 3) backup all files?

[QUOTE=zbook;1313069]1) For Ccleaner un-check:
a) Memory Dumps
b) Windows Log Files
c) Close Ccleaner
d) After the next reboot reopen Ccleaner and confirm the settings > post an image into the...

I have attached the logs and also here is a link to dropbox for other images requested:

I thought it was OK for a while but it didn't last two days. Froze again and had to hard boot. Should I collect new logs?

lrw

I'm not seeing any of the processes that are supposed to be ended in task manager. I did see USB 3.0 Boost Service but not the .exe that is in that linked solution.

I did stop the asComSvc...

You're the best, Rich! Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes.

lrw

I forgot ... but now I don't see it running or any uninstaller for it in Control Panel. Is there a manual method to remove it?

Thanks,
lrw

Thanks Ztruker,

I have done the steps to remove the Nvidia drivers and reinstalled only the Graphics and PhysX ones back on. I'll see if that helps. It might take a few days for me to be sure it...

I recently added a USB WD MyBook external HDD. Also have a USB My Passport HDD. A few days after adding the MyBook, and every few days after that I am getting system freeze, where the mouse and...

Hey, Florio! File manager / options / view tab/ then at the bottom, checked Show all Folders - that worked for me too to show the D: in FM but I may still have an issue with it not recognizing...

You are most likely correct. Kind of a shame though, this one is barely used even though I bought it 6 years ago.

Yes, I have tried uninstalling both the DVD/CD-ROM drives and the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers from device manager and rebooting. Not sure which controllers you are suggesting are missing. Also...

Rebooted and still no difference after that last regedit.

lrw

I believe that I did that manually but will repeat and reboot.
