[XWrench3]

so i have accumulated a couple of problems with my computer. i have several websites saved that for some reason, i can no longer get access to them. i stumbled across this file in my laptop, and thought maybe it could shed some light on what is going on. i have no clue what any of this really means, but to me, the many listings under 023 raise suspicion. if any of you can, please tell me if this is a problem or not. thanks.

The only things that are questionable to me are that spectrum.exe and how many files are missing.

 

[XWrench3]

the spectrum.exe is a tv watching app. as far as missing files, i dont have a clue. why would they be missing?

I do not think HiJackThis is supported any longer.... it has not been updated since 2018. You'll be better off to run Malwarebytes and follow up with that using AdwCleaner for your browser

i have malwarebytes on all of my computers. it has not picked anything up in way over a year.

 

[PP Mguire]

Then more than likely they're leftover files from poorly written uninstallers.

 

[XWrench3]

ok, i can see that happening. i just would have never thought of that on my own.
