    Hi
    I downloaded some malaware "superiorads" in error, It kept opening in internet explorer.
    I seemed to have got rid of it using spybot, ad aware and ccleaner, but I keep getting this error message

    Error loading
    C:\windows\system32\spads.dll
    The specified module could not be found

    Thanks for any help, here is a copy of the log file

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!


    As you likely already know is that malware is a massive pest these days and does its level best to hide itself in any number of places, also having one malware forun by a scanner does not always mean thats all you have as malware is sneeky and the main infection can download others, so you end up with multiple infections.

    So just a Hijackthis log may not show all the malware that can be on your PC, the full guide of our below has a few other logs that show alot of the malware on your PC and where they are located,

    So logs that you will get to attach are:

    MGlogs.zip (which has 5 logs inside it, including Hijackthis, just attach the whole Zip )
    AVG
    Combofix logs.
