I hope you're able to get your PC cleaned up. If this is an instance of the installation of unwanted items and that's happened before, that might suggest that your security software isn't doing its job. And/or that your internet use habits need to be reviewed a bit. Once you get things back to normal, if you're not using one already, you might consider using a well rated security system. When you use a comprehensive program, utilities like Win Patrol become unnecessary. Attached as information for other readers is a link with trusted ratings of available programs. The not-free versions tend to be more comprehensive. The better rated free ones are capable but many have fewer features. Getting a multi-user license you share within your family or friends can reduce the cost. Also, many internet providers provide top rated products for free to subscribers. Good luck Antivirus software ratings

A text file is a text file (letters and numbers). A jpg is a type of image file and it can't be converted to a text file without being processed by some kind of character recognition software. Some types of"text" files, like MS Word and equivalents, allow you to imbed an image in the middle of text but it remains an image. Like a photo or drawing. If your niece sent you scans or photos of text on a page, you need to read by using a photo or other image viewing software. Good luck.

No you are not infected. Somehow you simply opened the log. It's just a file that logs the activity of background processes that keep your system running.

Just for the record! And to extrapolate on what Maifleur has contributed. When you "save as" a photo or any piece that you find on the internet that you want to use for your own or post to a thread...please...change the name or number of the photo or piece to your own name [i.e. "winters woof"] or number [winter 123] when you "save as". Otherwise...you're stealing bandwidth and that is not only technically illegal...it's considered very bad manners by the internet community as a whole. Some copyrighted material is coded so it won't allow linking but not all. Some sites are careful with their material and they move it around from time-to-time. If you saved it and didn't "own it" by giving it a new name...wherever you used it...the vision will suddenly disappear from view. Read through the info linked below. It will explain much more than space allows here. And...you'll be a much more appreciated internet user. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inline_linking
