I clicked on the linked and never got any trojans. I'd run Malwarebytes if I was you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy from micro pc did show all the errors on the system - it's those I need to deal with! What do you mean by make an image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingJ Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Just off the top, Solomon1, I would suggest getting the offending machine to someone who knows what they are doing, because, with respect, you don't - and it does sound as if some kind of remedial work is required. Because I have used him, and know he knows what he's doing, I suggest MoZaLan off this forum. This is his site: http://www.byteitltd.co.uk/ ---------- Post added 06-07-2015 at 14:15 ---------- Not tried a System restore yet....

Those 'errors' are more than likely nothing to be concerned about, M$ records lots of little system hiccups as 'errors' or 'warnings', but they can be safely ignored.
