    Hey guys, decided to do a checkup to see what kind of nasties were hiding in my computer.
    I ran all the tools fine, except for RootRepeal, which crashed twice, on the second time giving a BSOD. The BSOD lasted a millisecond, it appeared and then disappeared then the computer restarted, so i didn't get what it said.
    RootRepeal crashed shortly after looking through the Manifest folder.

    Ill attach the rest of the logs for you guys.

    Thanks.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Your logs are clean; however you should uninstall the below old Sun Java versions and install the current version as requested in step 3 of the READ & RUN ME:

    J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 12
    Java(TM) 6 Update 22
    Java(TM) SE Development Kit 6 Update 10



    If you are not having any malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Go back to step 6 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. If running Vista, 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.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click 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.
    9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Thanks for that :)
    Just a quick question, i shouldn't have windows defender on if i have Trend Micro running, right?

    Also, do i have to uninstall ComboFix the way you said or can i just delete it?
    Because when i type what you said into Run, it just opens ComboFix and it attempts to run a scan

    If your Trend Micro program includes antispyware protection, you probably do not need Windows Defender running but unless you are having performance issues on your PC, I would leave it for now.

    You really should use the uninstall. Copy & paste what I gave to avoid mistakes. You MUST have the quotes included and there must be a space before the /uninstall

    Yes, Trend Micro is also an anti-spyware program.
    And when i executed the MGTools executable to remove it and its components, ComboFix was also removed, so i didn't bother trying the cmd command again, would you recommend still doing it?

    No it is not really necessary. Although it would have been better to use ComboFix's uninstall command, MGclean.bat will cleanup as best as possible to remove ComboFix changes, so you don't really have to worry about it now.
