    Please try to help me from this detailed explanation.

    My computer at home has been giving me a tough time. I can't post on this site from home or even come to major geeks web site. This thing on my computer won't let me download McAfee programs, not even a firewall. When it is ready to install I have a sudden frame within the web page that says searchand.com. I blocked an ip address that I notice always come up when I try to download McAfee Antivirus, but then the internet won't work with web pages.

    This top half is really wierd I never thought anything like that even existed please let me know especially about the top portion


    For instance, if I go to Yahoo! I can't click on Auto or Sports, or even an article. The computer is extremely slow.
    I noticed the followed malware, these are all that I've seen when I've used Webroot Spysweeper w/ Anti. Adware Alert 07, CWshredder.
    Spysweeper has an alert it wants to send out but always freezes when i try to. Also anti-virus says that its out of date when Its updating. It would be really hard to try to put hijack this logs and etc, but If I have to I will. From this info can u guys give me any leads.

    Vundo (removed)
    CWSMsconfig (remove) Suspicious but I guess its removed
    Mal/Dropper Y (spysweeper supposedly removed this)
    Backdoor (removed) don't see it in any scans

    I used Combofix, but then the Webroot Firewall said something about something attempting to rewrite registry and then it mentioned a change in combofix after its final stage in rebooting computer. I want to see that message again...I guess I want to know for this part how I could completely remove ComboFix from computer by means of registry and then reinstall and then see if that same message comes up after its final stage again, and then post it and then find out what you guys think

    Yes! A WareOut infection. Run this: WareOut Removal


    You must allow ComboFix to run properly. Shutdown or uninstall Webroot. If you are running the READ & RUN ME, complete all steps and attach the logs.

    Okay that's the FixWareOut report. What about the rest of the READ & RUN ME? Are you going to run it and attach the requested logs?

    Did you install this: AdwareAlert ?
    It is not recommended! Uninstall it.

    Is your copy of Spy Sweeper a paid copy of free trial. If free, uninstall it now.

    The below file may have been infected by Vundo and should be deleted:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Abdias Malary\Desktop\New Folder\mkvtoolnix-unicode-2.0.2-1-setup\mkvtoolnix-unicode-2.0.2-1-setup .exe

    i no longer have the adwarealert program...it hit me that it wasn't Lavasoft after like a week, I felt stupuid (how embarrasing) and Spysweeper is paid for, although at one point I did try to download and install via torrents, and then gave up and just bought it with antivirus program.

    I get an error with AVG saying that it is corrupt.

    Then you are violating important guidelines from the READ ME. You must only have ONE antivirus program installed. I saw AVG7 installed in your log. You must uninstall all but one antivirus.

    Which AVG program are you referring too? And when is the error occurring? When you download it? When you install it? Or when you run it?

    ok, I have uninstalled AVG antivirus, and kept the paid spysweeper w/ antivirus, the problem was occuring with AVG antivirus, it couldn't completely scan so I uninstalled it, after the error. I used CCleaner earlier to eliminate issues with registry in case that existed, afterward I uninstalled and then rebooted the PC. I have the report of AVG anti-spy

    Which can be due to having multiple antivrus programs installed.

    You need to complete the rest of the steps in the READ & RUN ME and attach the other requested log from MGtools.
