Possible Malware on my computer

It almost seems like this is a daily problem for me. I get on the computer and it reads that there is a problem. I use Advanced SystemCare as my computer's security and scanner, and when I run the daily scan, it seems that there are always problems found. Also, whenever I get on the internet I encounter a lot of pop ups. Even though I have a pop up blocker. I am afraid that it might be Malware, Spyware, Adware, or some other type of virus. Another thing I noticed is the amount of processes running on my computer. When I go into the task manager, and look at my running processes, it has 41 when I don't have any programs or applications up and running. I feel like that is a lot, but I am not sure.

Hi there Advanced windows care is not an antivirus - hence you are fairly badly infected. I will need a deeper look at your system prior to cleaning. Once I have the majority clear we will look at some Antivirus programmes for you


Download aswMBR.exe ( 511KB ) to your desktop.

Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it

Click the "Scan" button to start scan

On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply
Posted Image

THEN

Download OTL to your Desktop
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Select All Users
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in

    netsvcs
    %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
    /md5start
    explorer.exe
    winlogon.exe
    Userinit.exe
    svchost.exe
    /md5stop
    %systemroot%\*. /mp /s
    hklm\software\clients\startmenuinternet|command /rs
    CREATERESTOREPOINT

  • Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
  • Post both logs
