    Today I miss-clicked outside of my game screen and hit an advert. My ethernet connection was almost immediately disabled, and when I scanned with Hitman it detected askbar or something like that. I would much appreciate if someone would check my scan logs.

    Remove the Askbar in Hitman. Otherwise, I am not seeing any malware. If you continue to have issues with your ethernet, post in the hardware forum.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8 or 10, 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.
    5. Now goto 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.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Thank you again, TimW. You are quick to respond, as always, and I am quite relieved. Luckily the ad was only an intrusive askbar download, but I am annoyed that none of my protections caught it, and my ad blocker and host file didn't block the ad in the first place. Hopefully I won't be making any more careless mistakes in the near future that would take up any more of your time, for which I am grateful you admitted me. Take care of yourself.
