    The virus infected my computer when I accidentally clicked "okay" to run an online virus scan popup. I tried running a number of things before - Kaspersky, ComboFix, MalwareBytes, Microsoft Malicious Software Removal -but the infection still kept registering. Finally, I went ahead and reformatted everything.

    However, after doing that and running Windows updates, the latest version of Malicious Software Removal flagged the virus again.

    So here I am, at a loss for what to do. I'm not experiencing any visible symptoms of the virus, but don't like knowing that I'm still getting flagged.

    I ran Kaspersky again and deleted a file, ran MBR check and MGTools (which I found on this forum). Hopefully someone can lend a hand.

    Thanks a lot.

    I am not finding any evidence of an infection in your logs. Please tell me what Windows malicious software removal is complaining about ( It may just be a false positive).

    I might add that it would be a good idea to run CCleaner and empty our your temp folders.;)
