Re: HJT Log - Changes Windows Background automatically
1. Use Add or Remove Programs and uninstall MBAM
Download the software again, just as in the original instructions.
Using my original instructions, run this again, but slightly differently.
Rather than do a Quick scan, unselect that option (so that a longer scan is done). Be absolutely sure you Checkmark every item shown in the log result prior to asking it to do the cleaning.
I will not need to see a log result from this session.
2. Using your mouse, Highlight and then do a Right-click | Copy of the entire Box below:
Open a new Notepad document. (Do not use a Word Processor or WordPad). Click "Format" and be certain that Word Wrap is not enabled.
Right-click | Paste the Code box contents from above into Notepad. Click File, Save as..., and enter (including quotation marks) as the filename: "TempFix.CMD". Exit Notepad.
Double click your new file to run the batch script. You can then delete this new file.
We should be finished.
Open Acrobat if you have the Full Version installed Click Help and run the Upgrade applet found there. If no update is offered: Use the Preferences, Internet submenu of Acrobat and uncheck to integrate with your Browser. Close Acrobat.
Whether you had the Full Version of Acrobat or not, download and install Adobe Reader 9 and use this as the integrated PDF Reader insider your browser: »www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/r···ep2.html
Clean-up & Prevention:
• Right click "My Computer", Properties, and then click the System Restore tab. Checkmark the box at the top to stop System Restore on all drives. Click the "Apply" button. Agree to the deletion of old Restore Points. Then uncheck the box at the top and again click the "Apply" button. Finally, click the "OK" button. This will create a new Restore Point reflecting your clean system state.
• Click Start, then click Run.
Enter into the command box that opens: combofix /u and then click OK.

• Click on the green CleanUp! button. When you do this a text file named cleanup.txt will be downloaded from the internet. If you get a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTMoveIt attempting to contact the internet you should allow it to do so.

• This step removes the files, folders, and shortcuts created by the tools I had you download and run.
• Run ATF Cleaner  , and checkmark "Empty Recycle Bin", click "Empty Selected" and exit the program. You can delete or keep this utility as you wish.
• Use Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, and Uninstall any entry related to an On-Line scanner we may have used.
If you find any files or folders created during this cleanup operation remaining, please feel free to delete them.
• Configure your Antivirus software to check for updates daily, at a time in which you are sure the computer will be on.
• If I asked you to Disable something like TeaTimer or another malware blocker, please go ahead an re-enable them if you wish.
• Download and Install Windows Defender by Microsoft (free):
• Suggestion: Download and install Comodo BOClean (free):

• Refer to my first set of instructions above, and reconfigure Hidden Files and Folders to your choosing.
Best wishes.
