    Hi guys, this is my first post here.

    I wanted to ask if I'm in the clear with a virus I had.
    Bascially, it was fake antivirus that told me that google was a virus site and gave me fake BSODs. I panic reformatted my computer and fresh installed Windows 7. Am I rid of this virus or should I still be concerned?

    If you really want our opinion as to whether your PC is clean, please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the logs we ask for:
