    Hello,

    I found infections and cleaned it. I only need help to see if there is something more I need to do before I follow the last step, toggle system restore. The only problem I encounter was that I couldn't open the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware log, I attach it and the other logs.

    Thank you in advance.

    The only things I am seeing are the following:

    Download The Avenger by Swandog469, and save it to your Desktop.

    * Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
    * Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
    * Do not change any check box options!!
    * Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

    * Now click the Execute button.
    * Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
    * Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
    * Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
    * A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

    Also delete all files in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from Avenger.

    Thank you for the answer. All done but the Avenger log didn't created. Should I run it again? I run GetLogs.bat anyway and here is the log.

    It removed them.....let's do a little clean up:

    Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixME.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.
    Now tell me if you are having any other malware issues. :)

    I did the clean up and after that a full scan with A-Squared. It found 5 infections and remove them. Should I do something more now to completely clean the computer? I attach the A-Squared report.

    Frankly I would dump a-squared! The items it is reporting are:
    Cookies --> not problems.
    System restore files ---> which nothing removes.
    MGTools file ----> do you think our scanning tools are malware?

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    I used A-Squared because it was recommended early in "How to protect yourself from malware", I just check the post and see that it has been removed. I will follow the final step now. Thank you for the help.

    It was removed for exactly those reasons --- too many false positives. :)

    You are most welcome ...safe surfing. :)
