  3. "If I unplug the USB connection to the first external hard drive it will then proceed and boot up" That sounds like the drive was connected when Windows was installed. Upload to a site of your choosing, a screenshot of Disk Management. Give us the link please.

  5. Comodo is a VERY weak AV. Try running a quick scan with Malwarebytes and fix all it finds. If that doesn't rectify the problem, run Trojan Remover and Hitman Pro untill they run clean.

  6. First thing, I'm a little surprised you posted a log before having one requested, especially because it recommends not posting it unless requested.

    First thing, I’m a little surprised you posted a log before having one requested, especially because it recommends not posting it unless requested. Secondarily I agree with part of the above I see at least three semi malicious toolbars. If I am reading things right you may have too many anti virus programs running which may have been where the virus snuck in.

    Malwarebytes might be easier to remove the toolbars

    What was the detection for the virus that caused you to know something was wrong?

    edit: I see there are multiple posts looking there now

  7. This is no way around a HDD password. It's a security feature built into laptops & would be useless if it was easy to bypass. Someone enabled the feature & created the password, you'll have to ask him or her.

  9. TASKKILL /f /im process1.exe /im process2.exe /im process3.exeYou'll have to make your parent batch file run through the above script though, you wouldn't be able to click close and they disappear.Hope that helps

  10. It's mostly just building your date-time element: @echo off & setlocal set dtst=%date:~4%_%time:~0,8% set dtst=%dtst:/=-% set dtst=%dtst::=_ echo date-timestamp looks like: %dtst% pause :: edit: foll. line had unmatched, and misplaced quotes. this is fixed: for %%a in (*.*) do move "%%a" "e:\wheRead more

    It’s mostly just building your date-time element:
    @echo off & setlocal
    set dtst=%date:~4%_%time:~0,8%
    set dtst=%dtst:/=-%
    set dtst=%dtst::=_
    echo date-timestamp looks like: %dtst%
    pause
    :: edit: foll. line had unmatched, and misplaced quotes. this is fixed:
    for %%a in (*.*) do move “%%a” “e:\wherever\%%~na_%dtst%%%~xa%”
    ::==== end batch
    If you look examine lines 2,3 and 4, you will see what they do. First line 2 assembles substrings of date and time (date from the 4th character on, time from 1st thru 8th).
    Then 3 replaces the / in the date with -, then 4 replaces the colons in the time with underscores. Understanding this, you can experiment around with whatever format you actually want. You should run the batch from the directory that has the files, preferably from the command prompt (running batch from icons almost always results in confusion and obfuscation.)
