    Recently, looking at my history show a TON of visited sites that I certainly haven't gone to. In fact, I only use Chrome and not IE so I'm not even sure how it is happening. When shutting down my computer, sometimes I see windows shutting a bunch of IE windows that I wasn't aware that they were opened in the first place. Also, recently my computer sometimes go into a boot loop and never gets to Windows. Attached are my log files. I'd appreciate any help you fine people can give. Thanks

    Hello there. :)

    I have reviewed those logs and I can say that it's probably the cleanest computer I've seen for a couple months. No malware at all. Do feel free to post in the software forum about any non malware related issues you are having.

    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. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others) and running MGclean.bat did not remove them, you can delete these files now.
    3. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.
    7. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

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

    Hmm, thanks for your time and for reviewing my logs. It seems since I've run those scans and posted them, IE stopped populating my history like it was before. Correct me if I'm wrong, but since those scans didn't find or clean anything, they couldn't have fixed my problem right?

    No, no changes were made at all. I am just glad everything is okay again for you. :)
