|
Answer» Here is the ESET removal: Just wondering if I should be deleting the ESET quarantined items, I still have the old Java updates in add/remove, will that get rid of them for good?Yes, get rid of them. Could you please try that file in Jotti's as described in Reply # 25. Hey SD, Got rid of the quarantined items and the old Java Versions seem to have successfully uninstalled (i.e. I rebooted and they didn't come back). As for "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\pblkx.sys" I had PUT in reply #26 that when MRT was able to run successfully and restart the computer successfully, I tried going to Jotti's and the file could not be found. I've checked the Drivers folder manually as well and the pblkx.sys driver no longer exists. So, is your computer working well now?Yes it's running very well, I've done full scans of SAS, MBAM, AVG, ESET and everything is coming out clean as a whistle! It's safe to say that you are an absolute lifesaver, and DARE I say a king among men! Well, that sound goods to my ears.
