After the short scan in step 1, nothing was found from the short scan but there was a window pop up from Dr.Web that said "Windows operating systems use the HOSTS file to map text hostnames to IP addresses. Modifications to the HOSTS file indicate possible operation of malicious software. Do you want to restore the default HOSTS file? (A copy of existing HOSTS file will be stored in the Dr.Web Quarantine directory.--- written in a lighter color) Yes or No?"

is rebooting at the end all it will take to restore the default file (if that should be done)?

When I refreshed this page to see your response, I didn't see the second to last one about deleting the antivirus programs until now. I hope it's ok that I did the DR.Web before I deleted the antivirus programs (it was turned off during the scan).

Dr.Web moved OTL.exe somewhere, can I just download another one?

Side note: somehow "Clean this" icon is on my desktop but I never click on it because I didnt trust it. This happened during the time my comp was infected with a virus.

Dr.Web log is clean. All that it found is quarantine files. Did you remove one of your antivirus software? Let's see where we stand now:

Download OTL to your Desktop

  • Run OTL.
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Click the "Scan All User" checkbox
  • Change "Extra Registry" option to "SafeList"
  • Click the Run 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 Extra.txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
  • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of this files, and post it with your next reply.

yes, I deleted Microsoft essential & I only have symantec Antivirus program now (not including aswmbr & Dr.Web)

I tried to download OTL on my flashdrive and copy it to my desktop on my other computer, but I couldn't remove my flashdrive. It kept saying "Generic volume cannot be stopped right now." I tried to download a Unlocker but I couldn't find one/ the website didnt work. I didn't want to pull it right out and data might be lost. What's weird is the only thing I did was download the OTL to the flashdrive then I existed when the download is complete--I didn't open any other file on my computer so I don't know why I can't safely remove it.

You can remove your USB memory by unplugging it from your PC. There are very low chance to lose your data. If you have very important data then first turn off your PC then unplug it from it.
