Picked Up Unwanted Programs-removed? How Do Logs Look?

Looking for someone to review logs and let me know if I’m good to go. I hit a site last week that auto loaded a tool bar, back up software, hard drive optimizer etc.. a whole bunch of crap I didn’t ask for but in my haste I must have clicked on something to allow the loading of a pile of unwanted programs. I went to control panel and removed or uninstalled everything that I could see that was unwanted then scanned with Mbam and deleted a whole bunch of detected threats. After that I rescanned and Mbam said I was clear. I then scanned with MS security essentials and it said it found a Trojan and deleted it. I rescanned and it was clear. I still had some Asian pop up on start up and an Icon in the taskbar. I downloaded ADWcleaner and did a scan and clean. I also did a system restore and the pop up and the icon no longer appeared. I downloaded Avast and scanned and it found threats and so I put them into quarantine. I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and things seemed normal but the hard drive at times was clicking along when not much was happening on my computer by me. Also, at time things seemed a little slow and unresponsive. So finally I went through the procedures listed by MG and downloaded and scanned as directed and have logs that I am hoping someone will look at and tell me if there are still problems and what to do to clean up if any more clean up is necessary. One note when I was using Hitman it said I had to register by putting in my email, so I did and clicked next but I think the software may have auto cleaned or quarantined detections it picked up. I know the instructions said DO NOT clean or quarantine and I did not ask it to do so but I think it may have done it automatically. I have attached all logs from the various scans required in the instructions and I followed them in order. I already had Mbam on my system but I downloaded it again and changed the file name as directed. I used the new downloaded Mbam with the new file name as I opened and executed the program from the downloaded history. I hope that was the proper way. Anyway, would appreciate a set of expert eyes on my logs and hope I am good to go. Hoping that any further cleaning will be minor if any at all. Lastly, can a virus hide on my Linksys wireless router? If so how do I check that? Thanks you so much in advance.. Sincerely, mtnbkr

 

Hi Tim, Thanks so much for jumping in.. They seem OK. At times the computer just won't do or execute when I click on something..I have to click and then click again. The hard drive isn't doing the "heavy activity" even if I'm not doing anything anymore. Things seem to be ok but I really thought I should reach out to MG to be sure. Is there anything you would like me to do as a double check and have you look? Thanks again for your prompt response and taking this on for me. Mtnbkr

 

Hi Tim, OK I will follow the instructions and let you know how things go.. I'll rescan w/ mbam and if anything pops up I'll let you know... I cannot find "hijack this" to remove but will do the rest.. I'll update my Mbam again and select a firewall. I used to use Comodo but it ran so slow on my XP.. Has it changed in the past few years? I use XP and use Firefox.. what would be your recommendation for AV and firewall? Your advice is most appreciated. Henry - MTNBKR

 

I guess time to upgrade to 8? I believe support for 7 is going to stop soon too.. I think with 8 defender is included? Actually maybe I should check cost of new computer with ms 10.. the cost of just the windows upgrade may make getting a new computer with windows 10 all together more sensible. Thanks Tim.. You've been a big help. I'll reach out if I have any problems... Henry
