AskWoody LoungerThank you to everyone. Have a brainwave logon as admin and removed the file from family and friends. Why did I not think of that before?
But the mystery remains where did it come from?

rubyjim
AskWoody LoungerThank you for your help.
The only place I can see dnwfcwyfzmma is on the login page click start > switch user in the list of A/Cs is dnwfcwyfzmma if I click dnwfcwyfzmma a new version of Win 10 starts to install.
To help to confuse Although I am running Win 10 I have installed Classic Shell that makes Win 10 Look like Win 7as I don’t like the Win10 Tiles.
As dnwfcwfzmma can only be seen on the logon screen I can’t take a screenshot. However, took a photo with my mobile and is attached. MS Explorer can not thind this executable file -

AskWoody LoungerGroup G Yes it is an executable file but I can not find it on my laptop

AskWoody LoungerTry right-click, View, Medium/Small icons.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart

AskWoody LoungerThat sounds like a cable or connector problem that can occur over time through opening and closing the lid.
Can it be fixed?

rubyjim
AskWoody LoungerHave you let the troubleshooter correct what it finds?
Have you turned off any services?
Joe
Thank you Joe. I have not turned off any services. Troubleshooter found a unknown network problem and advised me to get help.
I have no issues with my Network.

AskWoody LoungerI’ve been having a similar problem with Chrome freezing, usually when multiple windows are open. I’m running under Windows 7, so the other replies don’t seem to apply to my case. Any other thoughts?
Just discovered the freezing only happens with multiple Windows open.
However, chrome is back to normal? -

AskWoody LoungerNo, Win10 is not missing an ISO burner. As others said, Rt Clk the ISO file & 2nd item down on the menu Burn disc image. Click on that & will (natively) burn “Burn Inagthe ISO to DVD. No added (3rd Party) burning software is needed to be installed.
Drew The Win 10 I have does not have an ISO Burner Right clk gives many options except “Burn Image” I believe MS removed it
I suspect the free ISO burners mentioned previously may install PUP’s
Must be CLEAN burners somewhere.
Thanks Jimmy -
rubyjim
AskWoody LoungerYou don’t get Burn disc image if you right-click an ISO?
Does Device Manager recognize your CD/DVD drive?
Yes problem CD/DVD drive ISO burner missing in Win 10

AskWoody LoungerAre you operating from a TRUE admin account?
Sorry for taking so long in replying to you. Yes I’m using a true admin ac.
I started getting problems down loading updates for windows got an error 80070002. when I googled this error code I had to open Administrative Tool s folder and found the folder empty. I think this may be the problem. I searched and and found the services file clicked it and Services opened I deleted the troublesome files and got update working again.
However, I still can not open settings from the charm bar.
I am keeping my fingers crossed when I upgrade to Win 10 setting will be repaired?????
Thank you for your help

AskWoody LoungerAre you getting an explorer.exe not associated message? If so, I hope you have made a good-working image backup, ’cause when that happened to me, I had to haul out my earlier backup & restore. I hope for EZ solution for you
No I did not get any message

AskWoody LoungerIn MBAM/Settings/Detection and Protection you can set it to Ignore detections in the PuP dropdown while you install Chrome and then change it back again to Treat as malware or whatever.

Just wondering if google.co.uk will be changed to google.co.scotland if there’s a Yes vote ;):D
I used your link ]http://www.google.co.uk/chrome and still get infections.
Found this in MBAM log, Astromenda and mysearchdial.com are the files that keeps reappearing with Chrome even if I uninstall Chrome with Revo and install using your link.
