above is thread for reference to my problem, have run MBAM, SAS, and my current antivirus, all run clean, was referred to this forum, for the possibility of a deeply embedded infection.
As you can see in the thread, have tried every possible solution to restore system properties, this is my last resort before reinstalling the os. Thank You.
not this part:
evidently, you did not explain that you were referred and why, so pasting the above should help clarify, the link they posted to you was to try and get system properties restored to you.
post an update when you get another one.
