    After a quick read of your thread, I suggest a clean install.
    Tutorial: Windows 10 - Clean Install
    Read all Information, Note, Tips, and Warning colored boxes
    Watch the Video
    Ask questions first, then proceed

    Overview of the process
    • Backup your personal data (Downloads, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, etc) to an external drive

    • Create an audit with Belarc advisor

    • Create new install media on an uninfected machine (friend, family, library)
      Tech Bench
      - OR -
      Get Windows 10
      either choice, Scroll down to Before you begin

    • Boot the problem machine using the install media you just created

    • Press Shift F-10 to open a Command Prompt
      diskpart
      list disk
      select disk #
      ** the number is the drive that contains Windows - normally 0
      ** make sure you select the correct disk.
      ** The next step removes everything from the disk
      clean
      exit
      exit
    • Continue the install
      Select Custom install
      Install to the empty disk - you might have to scroll if you have more than one HDD
      Let Windows do the heavy lifting
      - it will initialize the disk
      - it will and create the partition schema
      - it will install device drivers (only backfill drivers if there are errors or warnings in Device Manager).
    • Re-install your favorite applications, one at a time
      Download up-to-date versions instead of using old install packages
      Purchased software might have a download or you have to use the original disk.

      ** If problems arise - uninstall that application and continue installing other programs

    • Scan your personal data for malware before restoring it
      Bitdefender Rescue disk is a good tool for this

  2. Not solved - I tried all the different methods. Sorry, that I haven't provided more for you to work with but on the when on the computer I rarely get time to other than start some virus check, and re-install. Other then that I feel sick just looking at it. And I rarely manage to focus more than a few minutes as long as I am not interrupted by this idiotic time consumer. A couple of times it has been running well after full clean of harddisk from usb and running bitdefender in linux. Yesterday I did it again and had a flash made ready from another machine with windows 10. I had spent the whole day again moving everything off ...again. Then flash drive didn't work so I used an old one - probably already infected. For a couple of hours everything was fine. I had mbam, defender and mrt running... and then some signs told me it started again. I had a tech from HP remotely logged on - he came with a lots of advice... Just to reinstall the factory package, but I needed the factory partition intact - and when he saw that I had deleted I was told that I had to buy the software one more time. I basically told him to **** off, some service... My is still five months inside warranty, and of course I had to wipe the machine clean. I hate this computer... That's really all I have to say...-

  3. I anyone stop by here - can you tell me if it is normal to have files i "System Volume Information" looking like this {3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752} and totally impossible to delete. Only way to delete is format the hard drive from linux on flash. The biggest I have seen was at 90 gigabyte. When I saw that internet connection was still running full speed in 'Airplane' mode I went into horror mode thinking I my machine was loading up on childporn and serving the Scandinavian marked. But what do I know, maybe it's Microsoft files...

    Good advice, followed the procedure - and was clean for a few days. I had three-four antivirus running on shift pretty much all the time when I noticed some files growing inside 'System Volume Information' connected usbdisk. When I checked other partitions, they all had the same files - the biggest at 90 gigabyte. Tried every possible way to take control/become owner but it was impassible. Not 'takeown', icacls, del, rmdir... nothing. I got so angry I just formatted the whole lot. Well, probably spending another 8-10 hours on shifting pictures and all over to other media. Great fun...

    I am still waiting for you to follow my instructions in post #12, provide scan logs, and report on the results as things go along. If you are at another clean install, please run all the scans BEFORE re-loading your data and photos. Use the Panda USB Vaccine BEFORE connecting any external drives to the clean system. Scan each drive the minute you connect it.
