    Hi, recently I believe my computer has been infected with a virus. Eset Smart Security has been trying to remove it but to no avail.

    The notification keeps popping up consistently as well for these viruses:

    It's as if these viruses cannot be removed or it kept coming back? Is there any way to remove it permanently? I cannot do a system restore as it was not turned on.

    I've read through and run the
    "READ & RUN ME FIRST Malware Removal Guide (incl. spyware, virus, trojan, hijacker)"

    I've attached the respective logs here.

    Yes, the proxy is set by my internet operator. It seems like Eset isn't detecting anything for the moment now.

    Hi, I've confirmed that everything is running fine now regarding that error. However, something is wrong with my windows defender and firewall.

    For windows defender:
    A problem caused this program's service to stop. To start the service, click the Start now button or restart your computer.

    I tried clicking on the start now button but it hanged.
    When I tried to start the Windows Defender service in Services:

    Windows could not start the Windows Defender service on Local Computer.
    Error 126: The specified module could not be found.

    Same for windows firewall:
    Windows could not start the Windows Firewall on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 5.

      • Now press ENTER
      • ComboFix will extract its files one last time and you should receive a notification that ComboFix has been uninstalled shortly after.
    • You can re-enable your Disk Emulation software at this time via DeFogger.
