    I clicked on a link that redirected to downloading a .swf file and tried to run it but Kaspersky immediately caught it and asked me to remove it. I was worried so I tried googling the filename and it appears to be a keylogger.

    I ran the cleaners and it detected nothing but I'm not too sure.

    Is there any way to check for sure? Thanks.

    Your logs are all clean.

    If you are not having any malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommed you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
      • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    4. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    5. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Is it common for my task manager to have 2 rundll32.exe running simultaneously? I never really noticed until I was trying to look for any suspicious processes. And how do you remove GoogleUpdate.exe (already removed Chrome).

    Thanks.

    What is normal for one persons PC may not be normal on another. You are probably loading a couple of DLLs at startup that cause rundll32.exe to appear twice.

    This is not a topic for the malware forum, but you can just delete the startup entry from the registry or use the below registry patch to remove it automatically.


    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.
    Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
    to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.




    Note I did not comment on the below last time since I figured you installed it but you should read the below and reconsider your use of NetMeter.

    Well I got a success message but the process is still there.

    So you're saying that NetMeter might be collecting my information anonymously? Hmm, do you know an alternative to measuring bandwidth usage that's safe?

    Did you reboot? The patch only removed the startup entry. It does not kill the running process. You can delete the file and folder later after the reboot.

    A question you should post in the Software Forum.;)
