    Windows 7 keeps freezing, Safe Mode works. Here's my logs!
    « on: March 24, 2014, 08:19:54 AM »
    Hello, I'm Alli. I apologize for putting this in the wrong thread initially, and thank you for redirecting me here.  I have a Asus Laptop Model number U46E-RAL5, which is running Windows 7 Home Premium. Yesterday, I started having trouble loading Windows 7 on my computer. Windows 7 loads up normally, albeit slowly, but then once I try to click on any programs, it freezes and goes to "not responding." Thinking it had something to do with the windows update, I simply did a system restore in safe mode and that seemed to do the trick. However, when I shut down my computer and booted it back up this morning, I found that the problem was still persisting. This time I ran MalwareBytes and it came up with Trojan virus, which I quickly deleted. However, when I restarted my computer again, the problem didn't go away, so I did an earlier System Restore, and after that I did another MalwareBytes scan, which showed a few errors, but not Trojan, so I deleted them. This was around the time I posted in the Windows 7 thread (very sorry), and after seeing the reply, I went through and acquired the logs requested. During this process, I noticed that I was able get on to the internet using Firefox in Normal mode, but my computer froze up again when I went to open MalwareBytes. I had to go back to Safe mode, but it was encouraging to see I could get onto the internet, no matter how briefly.

    The logs requested:

    Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

    1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
    2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
    3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
    4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
    5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
    6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
    7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

    If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.
    *************************************************************************
    Did you make any changes to your computer prior to this problem occurring such as installing new hardware or software?
    The Security log shows you have two AV's active on your computer; AVG AntiVirus Free Edition 2014 and McAfee VirusScan Enterprise This could very well be one cause of the problems you're having. One will need to be de-activated/uninstalled. Having more that one AV and one Firewall active on your computer could cause conflicts.
    You really should update your IE.


    Update your Adobe Reader. get.adobe.com/reader.

    Be sure to uncheck the Free McAfee Security Scan so it isn't installed.

    *********************************************
    Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

    Warning! Once the scan is complete JRT will shut down your browser with NO warning.

    Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.

    •Temporarily disable your Antivirus and any Antispyware real time protection before performing a scan. Click this link to see a list of security programs that should be disabled and how to disable them.

    •Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click JRT and select Run as Administrator

    •The tool will open and start scanning your system.

    •Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.

    •On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.

    •Copy and Paste the JRT.txt log into your next message.
    **********************************************
    Malwarebytes' Anti-Rootkit

    Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Rootkit and save it to your desktop.
    • Be sure to print out and follow the instructions provided on that same page for performing a scan.
    • Caution: This is a beta version so also read the disclaimer and back up all your data before using.
    • When the scan completes, click on the Cleanup button to remove any threats found and reboot the computer if prompted to do so.
    • Perform another scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit to verify that no threats remain. If they do, then click Cleanup once more and repeat the process.
    • If there are problems with Internet access, Windows Update, Windows Firewall or other system issues, run the fixdamage tool located in the folder Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit was run from and reboot your computer.
    • Two files (mbar-log-YYYY-MM-DD, system-log.txt) will be created and saved within that same folder.
    • Copy and paste the contents of these two log files in your next reply.

      Hi Dave, thank you for your help.

      You asked: Did you make any changes to your computer prior to this problem occurring such as installing new hardware or software?

      I did not. The day before the problem started, the only thing I did was download an album off of iTunes and had a a windows update.
      initially I thought the update was causing the problem, so I did a system recovery. However, the problem persisted.

      I have unistalled McAfee Virus Scan

      When I tried to update my adobe reader, it failed because it said "Windows Installer service could not be accessed." Is this because I was running in safe mode?

      I just Downloaded IE 11. When it finished, it asked to restart my computer, which I allowed. This is when things got weird. My computer started doing a Chkdsk on the c: drive. I remember reading about this in a forum, so I thought maybe it was a good thing. I let it run its course and then my computer started up in Normal mode again, acting just like it had before the problem started. I was thrilled. However, as I was typing this message, my computer went to a BLUE screen and said Windows had encountered a problem and it was going to shut down and restart to prevent further damage. I'm a bit scared now. I don't know what to do. It seems to have reconfigured the updates that I got rid of during the system restore, could they be it?

      here are the logs you requested. I did these before I installed window 11, so I will probably do them again to make sure, but here are the current logs for now, in case something happens.

        That's possible. Did you try it in Normal Mode?

        No, that's ok.

        1. Click Start, click Run, type chkdsk /f /r, and then click OK.
        2. At the command prompt, type Y to let the disk scanner run when you restart the computer.
        3. Restart the computer.
        4. Chkdsk will run.
        *************************************
        * Go to Start > Run and type mrt.exe then press Enter on the keyboard).
        * (Vista and Windows 7 users go to Start and type mrt.exe in the search box then press Enter on the keyboard.
        * Click Next.
        * Choose Full Scan and click Next.
        * Once the scan is finished click View detailed results of the scan.

        Look through the list and let me know if anything was found infected.
        ******************************************
        Please download and run MicroSoft Safety Scanner. This will take about 20 minutes to run and will produce a log if your computer was infected. Please post the log. This scanner only has a shelf life of 10 days so you will need to download a new one if you want to run a scan after the trial period has expired.

          When I ran the chkdsk, I only got a small amount of text that said something about being clean I think. I will try and run it again if you'd like. I apologize for not  remembering, I saw your message at 3 am here and thought I'd get the ball rolling. haha, prolly not the best idea. I can run it again if you'd like, but I'll show you about the other stuff first.

          When I performed the mrt.exe, it was able to find an infection in JS/Medfos and delete it. I clicked in it to learn more and came back with this:

          http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=Trojan%3aJS%2fMedfos.A

          It says it's called Trojan:JS/Medfos.A

          I do primarily use Firefox, so it makes sense.

          I also downloaded and ran Microsoft safety scanner after mrt.exe. I wasn't sure which one to choose, but I chose Quick Scan. I hope that's ok? If not, I can do a full scan. It came back saying my computer was clean, though. It didn't produce a log.

            Hi. MalwareBytes AntiRootkit came back clean.

            I'm still not able to use Normal mode however. I can get it to start up, maybe open Firefox or IE, but pretty soon it does freeze. Right now, I have it so steam starts up when I am booting up as well, and since this problem started, it seems be the first thing to freeze. I was wondering if I should disable it at start up? I don't really know how to do this, so if you think it could be a problem, could you help me disable it at startup?

            Also, I was wondering, since the Trojan virus came from a firefox add on, and I have no idea which one it is, should I uninstall and reinstall firefox?

            A couple things I noticed. My computer is asking me to Turn on Windows Security Center, and To Solve a Problem with Windows Server 2008 R2. Am I able to do those things in Safe mode with Networking, as that is the only way I can get my computer to not freeze. Also, when I was in Normal mode before it froze, I noticed that it wanted me to do a Windows Update by shutting down. I haven't tried it yet, since it froze on me before I got the chance, but do you think I should.

            I apologize for my large amount of questions. My computer knowledge leaves much to be desired.

            If FF is working correctly, that won't solve much.

              Hi Dave.

              I noticed the Turn on Windows Security Center message only appears in Safe mode. In Normal mode, this message does not appear. When I went to try and download the program you linked to regarding the Window Server 2008 R2, it said it could not run in Safe mode. I tried to go into Normal mode, but unfortunately Firefox froze when I tried to click on the link you provided. I also tried to click on the message directly, but the action center also froze. I then tried to shut down the computer to see if it would update at shutdown, like usual, but the log off process also froze. I'm now in Safe mode and clicked on the action center and it brought me to this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2632149
              Should I do what it says on the page? Will it work in Safe mode?

              I ran Startuplite in Safe mode with Networking and restarted my computer. It didn't have any visible effects. Is it because I ran it in Safe mode? I can't run it in Normal mode as the computer freezes if I try to open any programs, including internet explorer.

              I ran Process Explorer in Safe mode. I have attached the txt document.

              We can't pinpoint the problem while running in Safe Mode. The only thing I can suggest is to open the Task manager in Normal mode and stop the highest usage processes until you find the one that causing the freezing. You can stop any process except explorer.exe

                Oh dear, I'm afraid I've been doing all of the scans you advised me in Safe Mode with Networking. I can try and go back and redo them all if you'd like, although I'm not sure how many of them I will be able to do.

                I was able to run Process explorer in Normal mode. I have attached the file.

                I was able to open Task Manager. but I was a bit confused on your directions. There were about 129 processes going on on my computer. Can I really stop any and all of them except window Explorer? Even Java and the Windows Desktop manager? I stopped Skype, Steam, the Side Bar, and something called Pando Media something.  I was not able to run Startuplite. I will try again shortly, but here is the process file for now.

                No problem. It's just the last two scanners, StartupLite and Process Explorer that need to be run in Normal mode to see what's actually running.
                Have you noticed what the CPU usage is when the computer freezes? You will need the Task Manger open to see this.
                We can try test the RAM.


                That could be a problem with bad RAM. Please run this check just to eliminate that possibility.
                Test your RAM here.

                  Hi.

                  That's good to hear. I thought I had done something terribly wrong. I ran in Normal mode and opened IE to see if I could do the Memtest in Normal mode. IE was the first thing to freeze and at the time the CPU peaked at 50% but average was around 36%. I tried to go close IE in the task manager but despite going through, the window didn't disappear, and it was still running, but the CPU had dropped to lowest 9% and averaging 26-9%. I then tried to go into Start and that's when the whole computer went into not responding. Unfortunately, I had minimized the Task Manager window so I didn't see what it was when the whole computer froze.

                  About the ram tester, Can I run it in Safe mode? I have downloaded it and extracted the files, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't supposed to put it in Normal mode first. Ah, and it says I need a usb flashdrive, I currently only have my terabyte external harddrive. I will run and get a USB Flashdrive, as the program mentioned it would delete everything on the flashdrive? Or did I misunderstand it?

                    Sorry for the second reply in a row, I was able to perform the ram test in Safe mode with networking, but am still working on getting it to work in Normal mode. I ended up using the CD method instead of the USB. I have attached the log.

                    While trying it in Normal mode, my computer stopped responding (I could still move my mouse, but couldn't click on any programs) when I was trying to install my new USB. This time, the CPU percentage was as low as 9% and at the highest around 15%.
