Re: Do you trust the uninstaller?

Ok, so I used the fix, and it cleaned the problems, but when I rebooted in normal windows, the problems came right back. Those registry keys it deleted returned and i have system restore turned off. I'm still unable to see Device manager or my network adapters.

here's my log ----

That's a first! It is possible you have some securtiy program settings that are blocking the changes? Are you running Adaware with Adwatch enabled?

@cable.rogers

I do have adaware installed, but AdWatch is turned off.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\CsXhrAvFfS45 keeps returning even after deleting that key in safe mode. I ran the fix again in safe mode and it couldn't find anything this time.

Also after looking through my system and googled some files, I seem to have RtKit files on my system, that too will not go away after being picked up by spybot, the spf.sys are all over my computer, deleting the registry keys LEGACY_NPF seem to have no effect as directed by some sites.

Just turning it off is sometimes not enough. It adds them back when you re-enable it on reboot.

Make sure you have disabled Adwatch in this manner:
This to Disable AdWatch

Open AdAware SE.
Go to AdWatch User Interface.
Go to Tools and Preferences.
At the bottom of the screen you will see 2 options Active and Automatic.
Active: This will turn Ad-Watch On\Off without closing it
Automatic: Suspicious activity will be blocked automatically
Uncheck both options. You can enable these after resolving your problem.

So you are saying the AproposFix log now comes up clean?

Those two files I do not see in the log. Possibly you have something else on the system besides this pest? If so, AproposFix will not address those. Go through these steps and post a new topic. We'll see if we can help.

@cable.rogers

ok, I don't have ad-watch on because my version of adaware doesn't have it hehe. I do have spysweeper installed, I've noticed sometimes it blocks things.

The log below is what I get when I scanned again. Still no device manager

ambience,

That log is clean so we've exhausted that. For remaining issues you'll need to go here:
»Security »I think my computer is infected or hijacked. What should I do?

and then post a new topic.
