Thanks so much for all your help, ShadowPuterDude. You've helped immensely, and I've learned a lot. OctoberCrow

ShadowPuterDude, What is TDLFS? OCrow PS Purchased EAM and Internet Security Pack today! This has been a great experience!

The latest OTL Fix Log. OctoberCrow

Attached is the disk management screenshot. Thanks, OctoberCrow

ShadowPuterDude, Will complete thie next step you outlined tomorrow, as I am not at my PC right now. Wondering: I have Rollback Rx installed, which I have learned installs itself into the boot sector so that it is able to "roll back" the computer to an earlier date before Windows starts up. Could this be what Emsisoft is seeing as a Rootkit? OctoberCrow

Here we go... This time OTL did not produce the second log report called Extras.txt. Tried twice, but it did not come up either time and it is not in the OTL file on my C drive. OctoberCrow

ShadowPuterDude, Followed the last set of instructions, and attached is the OTL log file. The computer is running well, though I have not re-run EAM to see if the rootkit is gone. I will await your next instructions. Gratefully, OctoberCrow

Will do this today, ShadowPuterDude, and post back tonight. Thanks, OctoberCrow

Thanks for this info, Thomas. OctoberCrow

When Emisoft Antimalware scanned my computer, it found a rootkit, which could not be quarantined or removed. The program referred me to the Emisoft forum for help in removing this. An extremely knowledgeable tech has been very generous with his time in helping me address removal of this rootkit. As part of the process, I have run and posted to the forum the content of various scans using the programs TDSSkiller, ComboFix, OTL, among others. My question: Is it safe to post this information in a public forum? Would they contain personally identifiable information that could be used to compromis

ComboFix report attached. Everything seems to be running fine, but I have not re-run Emisoft Anti-Malware to see if the original problem (Heuristic.Possible.MBR.Rootkit!E1) has disappeared after ComboFix. Shall I do so now? Thanks, OctoberCrow

ShadowPuterDude, Here is the screenshot you requested. Thanks for your continuing assistance, Octobercrow

ShadowPuterDude, Here it is. Thanks, OctoberCrow

My Emisoft Antimalware scan shows Heuristic.Possible.MBR.Rootkit!E1. Following that alert is this: Rootkits: \\.\PhysicalDrive0 I have attached the requisite report files. Your help will be IMMENSELY appreciated. Also, if you can tell how this came to be on my computer, I'd really like to be enlightened. OctoberCrow
