Ran Malware removal guide to see if we're infected. Attaching logs. Thanks, Bill

Please remove the conduit item in MBAM. Then rerun RogueKiller and remove the Adw.WifiHotSpot.

Reboot and rerun both scans and attach the new logs. Be sure to tell me how things are running.

Thank you Tim for your prompt reply. I am attaching the logs from the new scans after removal and reboot. That WifiHotSpot looks like some nasty stuff. Also, MGTools would not install to the root C:/ "access denied". I ran it from my desktop. Thanks again so much, Bill

How are things running now? Your logs are clean.

Thank you so much Tim. Computer is running great. Seems to be running quite a bit faster on the net. You guys are the best. Thanks again, Bill

You are welcome.

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

We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.

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.

If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have re-enabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.

Now go to the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 or 10 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.

Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

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