cc cleaner on windows 7

I have had some malware issues for about two months in spite of help from hw and microsoft..finallyon this forum todayi think i got rid of the trojan/powessere.

However when this issue developed my cc cleaner would only analyze 25%   i finally do a manuel abort and then clean and it also freezes at 25%..I am a novice and basically using  microsoft essentials and virus scanner and  Windows 7..explore 11  

i also got the same result with slim clean

Any suggestions? thanks so much

Hi,

We do not recommend using Optimizer Programs such as SlimCleaner.

And when using CCleaner never use the Registry Cleaning Tools.

See if this assists you:

Download, install, update and scan your System with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware and if necessary do this in Safe Mode with Networking:

Then run SFC command;

"How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or on Windows 7"

Use the System File Checker tool (SFC.exe) to determine which file is causing the issue, and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER:
   sfc /scannow
   The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

Cheers.
