    Tools/Internet Options/General/Home page is set to http://www.google.com/, but when I'm on the page, Google asks me if I want to set Google as my home page. I also have "Display mixed content" enabled, but I keep getting asked if I want to display mixed content when I visit some websites.

    Logs from the scans attached. Please help! Thanks!

    I am not finding any malware in your logs. However, from your MBAM log, you need to flush your restore files.

    I suggest that you post in the software forum.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.

    If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.

    Now go to the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.

    [*]After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:



    Malware removal from a National Chain = $149
    Malware removal from MajorGeeks = $0

    Hi Tim - I appreciate your reviewing the logs. Google seems to be working (e.g., not asking me to make it my home page when it already is, etc.) now that I ran the scans. Thanks again!
