    Instructions are here for locating mbam log.

    Have you also got the log from RogueKiller? You have actually attached an rkill log.

    Please begin by re running Hitman Pro and having it delete all of the Potential Unwanted Programs.




    http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/9659/rktigzy.gif Fix items using RogueKiller.

    Double-click RogueKiller.exe to run. (Vista/7 right-click and select Run as Administrator)
    When it opens, press the Scan button
    Now click the Registry tab and locate these 3 detections:

    • [V1][SUSP PATH] AffiliatedUpdate.job : C:\Users\Kirk\AppData\Roaming\AFFILI~1\UPDATE~1\UPDATE~1.EXE - /Check [x] -> FOUND
    • [V1][SUSP PATH] SaveSense.job : C:\Users\Kirk\AppData\Roaming\SAVESE~1\UPDATE~1\UPDATE~1.EXE - /Check [x] -> FOUND
    • [V2][SUSP PATH] AffiliatedUpdate : C:\Users\Kirk\AppData\Roaming\AFFILI~1\UPDATE~1\UPDATE~1.EXE - /Check [x] -> FOUND
    • [V2][SUSP PATH] SaveSense : C:\Users\Kirk\AppData\Roaming\SAVESE~1\UPDATE~1\UPDATE~1.EXE - /Check [x] -> FOUND

    Place a checkmark each of these items, leave the others unchecked.
    Now press the Delete button.
    When it is finished, there will be a log on your desktop called: RKreport[2].txt
    Attach RKreport[2].txt to your next message. (How to attach)
    Reboot the machine.



    Download and run OTM.

    Download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

    Code:
    :reg
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{0633EE93-D776-472f-A0FF-E1416B8B2E3A}]
    [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\{580E63DD-0CB7-499C-98B6-637366116625}]
    
    :files
    C:\Users\Kirk\AppData\Local\mysearchdial-speeddial.crx
    C:\ProgramData\Conduit
    C:\Program Files (x86)\BonanzaDeals
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Conduit
    C:\Program Files (x86)\FirstRowSportApp.com
    C:\Windows\tasks\SaveSense.job
    C:\Users\Kirk\AppData\Roaming\SAVESE~1
    C:\Users\Kirk\AppData\Roaming\AFFILI~1
    C:\Users\Kirk\AppData\Roaming\SAVESE~1\UPDATE~1\UPDATE~1.EXE
    C:\Users\Kirk\AppData\Roaming\AFFILI~1\UPDATE~1\UPDATE~1.EXE
    
    :Commands
    [emptytemp]
    [Reboot]
    • Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
    • Push the large http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4174320048_f01c448b32_o.png button.
    • OTM may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
    • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar), and paste it into notepad, save it as something appropriate and attach it into your next reply.

    NOTE: If you are unable to copy/paste from this window (as will be the case if the machine was rebooted), open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and attach the contents of that document back here in your next post.




    http://imageshack.us/a/img841/7292/thisisujrt.gif Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
    • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
    • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
    • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
    • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
    • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    • Attach JRT.txt to your next message.


    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista, Windows7 or Win8) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

    Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now!

    Thanks Kestrel, sorry for the delay. Have been away for a few days.
    Happy Thxgiving if you are into that sort of thing. :)

    Hitman Pro indicated "No Threats" and no "potential unwanted programs" statement, but it was obvious the list was what we were after. The user interface verbiage seems to have changed a little in the past few updates?

    RKreport did not self number, latest report included in attached logs.

    Everything else was as stated.

    See attached.

    Conduit seems to have disappeared as well.

    After I finished up the requested steps I set Malwarebytes and Security Essentials to work together. Then I ran them to see if they would fault each other. They ran fine.

    Malwarebytes found three items related to conduit. I went ahead and deleted them. Log attached.

    Most welcome, safe surfing! :)

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, 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.
    5. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
