    Hi, Since yesterday, I couldn't access certain sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, or my live account). It would just say that it couldn't connect to the server. However, I could still go onto those sites with my laptop; it uses the same connection via the same modem, albeit wireless.

    After running through the Read-me first though, the problem seems to be gone now. I am attaching the logs to make sure the problem is truly gone though. Thanks. ;)

    Interesting because no real malware was found and removed. The only thing I question is what are all the below folders from?
    Code:
    "C:\WINDOWS\"

    Strange you should say this since I just checked previous threads of yours where Kestrel13! questioned these in the past and attempted removal. So they must be due to something you are running.

    However they don't seem to be malware related and since you say you are not having problems anymore, and due to the fact that no malware was find and removed, we should just complete final instructions to remove what the READ & RUN ME configured.

    Since you are not having any 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 oof 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 or Win 7, 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.
    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. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
