    As I was surfing the 'net today on Google I clicked on a link and this pop up saying I was infected and did I want to run a scan to find out what it was. I clicked the X in the corner of the pop up and then this supposed scan started running anyway. It said I had several virus and malware.

    I know this is not true and just a trick but I ran your scans just to make sure I didn't get infected by the popup.

    Can you please check my logs?

    Thanks.

    Nope, not seeing anything unusual in those logs.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend 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" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. If running Vista, 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.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click 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.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of the READ ME
        for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

    Hi Kestrel13!,

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Nice to see I "dodged the bullet" this time. :-D

    I couldn't use the uninstall directions for Combofix because I had already deleted the files from my desktop.

    Also, when looking for Hijack This! in the Add/Remove Programs it was not there.

    Anyway, thanks again. It is no longer required to toggle the System Restore?

    Yes, did you miss it in the final steps?
