    I've noticed. I'm removing part of MBAM in the below fix so don't try to run anything other than what is requested. We'll be able to see if it returns or not without MBAM from the new logs you attach.

    Just double-check that you are running OTL as Administrator and then use the updated fix (I have updated it again).

    Let me know if that still does not work. We may need to resort to another tool to finish up.

    Also, what happens if you press OK to that error you receive?

    After i finished running combo fix, a log came up and i accidentally closed it :cry

    I went into my disk :C and there was a combofix.txt, i hope this is the same thing!?

    one thing happened after i ran combofix.

    In my networks and sharing center i can see a new, never seen before network 3.

    and it is impossible to delete it from there. Is this be the network setup from the malware?

    i also did the next step of running the .bat file for the MGlog

    thanks!

    The link you sent me said it was a false positive!??? however i still have a 'network 3' on my list of network and sharing center, and my internet is still not at it's fastest as it should be. Someone is still stealing some of my internet bandwidth. I can tell because the LED on my etheranet port used to be green.

    It is a false-positive. It's still a hacktool and is not recommended. Read: Warning about Porn, Keygens, Cracks, and other Illegal Software

    I'm not seeing any actual malware in your logs.

    You can run this scan below while I double-check with my colleagues to make sure I am not missing something.

    Download Virus Removal Tool from Here to your desktop

    Run the program you have just downloaded to your desktop (it will be randomly named )

    First we will run a virus scan

    Over the stages of malware removal my internet connection has gotten better and returned closer to normal by the way. its just not as it used to be.

    And the verdict is... your logs are clean ;)

    Not sure why it is slower than before but it's not due to malware.

    If you are not having any other 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 of 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 if it present
    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. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    10. After doing the above, you should work through the below link:

    Take care and be safe! :)
