I recently installed KMSpico a couple of months after my windows 10 expired just so I can get rid of the watermark in the corner, it's a PC used for gaming mainly so I didn't care much however, I was mistaken, I downloaded malwarebytes days after an ad showed up in my desktop and found a couple of adwares which it removed, so I removed KMSpico thinking nothing would happen but now windows defender, windows firewall and windows store no longer work. I included the scan files in the topic
Hey thank you for your response, I downloaded a free anti virus and did a full scan, found 2 KMSpico files that were marked as harmful, the software deleted them, however, I'm curious as to why I had that IP on my PC, could you please tell me what it is before I do all of that?
I am not really sure how/why you have that IP on your system, I do know it has been identified as responsible for spamming activities and hijacking. Using KMSpico and other such free software always seem to come with a hidden price....
Hello, I made my first computer about 5 months ago, I activated the Windows with kmspico. For the first 2 weeks everything worked fine: Windows update, Windows defender etc. But then problems started to occur: I stopped getting the update, the Windows defender stopped working and the computer started acting strange, sometimes it would shut down or restart or lose the signal from gpu. I would just like to try to fix the windows update and the windows defender because I do not feel safe while using this computer. Even though I know reinstalling Windows will be the best option, I do not wont to lose all the data and files, first I want to try to fix it.
Please download the attached Fixlist.txt file to the same folder where the Farbar tool is running from.
The location is listed in the 3rd line of the FRST.txt log you have submitted.
I installed KMSpico and after that my windows started to lag when i don't move my mouse, like when i'm watching a vdeo or i get up from the chair and come back momments later. All softwares stop working and just normalize after 5min or so. I already uninstalled it and ran malwarebytes and AdwCleaner, but the problem persists. If someone could help me i would be pleased...
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system that cannot be undone.
Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.
The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt) or wherever you ran FRST from. Please attach or post it to your next reply.
NOTE-1: This fix will run a scan to check that all Microsoft operating system files are valid and not corrupt and attempt to correct any invalid files. It will also run a disk check on the restart to ensure disk integrity. Depending on the speed of your computer this fix may take 30 minutes or more.
NOTE-2: As part of this fix all temporary files will be removed. If you have any open web pages that have not been bookmarked please make sure you bookmark them now as all open applications will be automatically closed. Also, make sure you know the passwords for all websites as cookies will also be removed. The use of an external password manager is highly recommended instead of using your browser to store passwords.
Important: items are permanently deleted. They are not moved to quarantine. If you have any questions or concerns please ask before running this fix.
Please run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready.
Temporarily disable your antivirus or other security software first. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed.
Temporarily disable Microsoft SmartScreen to download the software below if needed. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed.

STEP 03
Please download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your desktop.
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit
Please run FRST again and click on Scan and attach both new logs. But again, I need proof via screenshot or something else that is showing KMSPico running as I don't see it.
Now, it may have damaged Windows beyond what we're able to repair, but the main program for it is gone.
I am having issues turning on windows defender. I read the article titled: "KMSpico Installed, problem with windows 10" and saw that the user had the same issue. I followed the following steps and pasted scan results.
"Download Farbar's Service Scanner utility
-service-scanner/dl/62/
and Save to your Desktop.
If using Windows 7 or above, Right-Click on fss.exe and select Run As Administrator.
If using XP, double-click to start.
Answer Yes to ok when prompted.
If your firewall then puts out a prompt, again, allow it to run.
Once FSS is on-screen, be sure the following items are checkmarked:
Internet Services
Windows Firewall
System Restore
Security Center/Action Center
Windows Update
Windows Defender
Other Services
Click on "Scan".
It will create a log (FSS.txt) in the same directory the tool is run.
Copy & Paste contents of FSS.txt into your reply."
Please run the following steps and post back the logs as an attachment when ready.
Temporarily disable your antivirus or other security software first. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed.
Temporarily disable Microsoft SmartScreen to download software below if needed. Make sure to turn it back on once the scans are completed.

I've attached the information you've asked below. I am having difficulties opening windows store and windows defender. I've tried a lot of things including typing some logs in powershell etc. I've found a solution long ago about fixing windows store, but that solution required to run windows defender first. I could not turn on defender. I really need help. Thank you for your interest.
The act of torrenting itself is not illegal. However, downloading and sharing unsanctioned copyrighted material is very much illegal, and there is always a chance of getting caught by the authorities.
Torrenting non-copyrighted material is perfectly fine and is allowed. We have seen an increase in malware being bundled with software downloads over P2P.
Please keep in mind when sharing files that you're increasing the risk that your system might get infected. Scan all files prior to running them, a better choice would be to consider stop using uTorrent altogether
I've done fixing. But still can't activate firewall. FRST.exe and fixlist.txt were both on desktop. I ran fix and it took a while and computer restarted. A fixlog.txt has been made. I did one more scan and the results are attached.
