    I found out yesterday morning that someone from Poland hacked into my online Yahoo mail account and sent difference email messages to my entire contact list. I immediately changed my Yahoo mail password and started to run full disk scans. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware found two viruses: Pup.adware.installcore and Pup.Funmoods. I quarantined and deleted the affected files and rebooted by laptop. Then I ran a full disk scan with SuperAntiSpyware Free edition. It found just cookies which were deleted. I then ran a full disk scan with Spybot Search and Destroy. It found only cookies which were deleted.

    I have noticed recently that the computer has been slower than normal but don't know if it is due to the viruses. I want to change the password on all my accounts but don't want to do this until I am 100% sure all viruses have been deleted. I am not sure if the two virus found above could do the damage to my Yahoo mail password.

    I have attached the Read Me First logs requested.

    Thank you for your time in helping me verify that all viruses are now removed from the computer.

    I am not seeing any malware in your logs. You do need to use CCleaner to clean out your temp folders. It is also a bad idea to allow all users to have Admin. privileges.

    I also suggest that you use a different computer to change all your passwords.

    Tell me what issues you may still have, if any.

    I am glad that you are not seeing any more malware. I did use CCleaner on all user's temp folders as one of the pre-log run steps. I will do it again.

    I hadn't thought about changing passwords on a different computer so thank you for that idea. Also I will figure out if my son and husband really need to be administrators for the software they install and run.

    Computer seems still slow at times but it isn't as consistence as before.

    Thank you for your time to double check the logs.
