antivirus xp 2008

Please re-run MalwareBytes and have it fix everything it finds. No point in running it if you don't let it fix the problems.

Then run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from MalwareBytes.

 

MalwareBytes log:

Are you having a problem removing the items it finds?

 

The program will remove them...you just have to tell it to.

 

You need to attach the new MGLogs.zip after running MalwareBytes.

And no there is often not someone here after that hour at night. This would go faster if you would follow the instructions given .....I could now be looking at the MGLogs and seeing what else needed doing and giving you a possible final cleaning.

 

Not attached...try again.

 

That means you are trying to attach a log that you already attached and it is not a new run of the logs ...do that by running the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file

Sweet ....Avenger did remove them ....I'll look at the MGLogs in the morning, though I believe they will not show any malware .. (Time for me to rest.....and while I do that, you can peruse this:
How to Protect yourself from malware!)

 

You are very welcome......let's do some clean up:

Run thisDisable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Please use add/remove programs to uninstall:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
Java(TM) 6 Update 3
Java(TM) 6 Update 5
Java(TM) 6 Update 7
