    I have run the malware tools, I was told that my computer was compromised and I could not tell from the logs what the issue was.. I have attached them. What should I do now??

    Who told you and in what way are you supposedly compromised? I am not finding any malware in your logs.

    Thank you very much for your help. My brokerage account at Charles Schwab was hacked into and they told me that I most likely had been compromised. Going through it I did not think that the software was finding any viruses, but I wanted to double check with someone who knew what they were looking at because there was a lot at stake.

    I am sure that you are right, but my son said that with a banking hack my best troubleshooting step was FDisk and Format. He said it is more work but you don't have to be real smart for it to work. I thank you very very much for your help.

    You are most welcome. And yes, with a banking hack, it would be best to reformat and re-install. You can save any doc's and personal info to disc before you reformat.
