As far as the computer goes, I haven't had any problems
Everything seems to be running fine and although I haven't used it a lot since running the script, it runs perceivably faster.
Please let me know if I need to run anything else.
I have a quick question though, in running all of the tests etc., my homepage is now Google. Is there any problem with me going to the AVG toolbar, or is it problematic?

thank you for the time you are spending with me.

Question-
Is it wise for me to keep IObit Malware Fighter and also Malwarebytes? I believe the freeware version of Malwarebytes might be more comprehensive than the freeware verion of IObit Malware Fighter, but they are both effective. Does it matter if I have both running?

The computer seems to be running very nicely now, and once the initial scans are completed at boot-up, it seems more responsive and quicker.

Thank you
tulsa

[gringo_pr]

Hello

I am biased when it comes to IOBit because it was found out a couple of years ago they were stealing Malwarebytes database detections and calling it there own - you can research this yourself just google search IOBIT and malwarebytes



These logs are looking very good, we are almost done!!! Just one more scan to go.

:Remove unneeded start-up entries:

This part of the fix is purely optional
These are programs that start up when you turn on your computer but don't need to be, any of these programs you can click on their icons (or start from the control panel) and start the program when you need it. By stopping these programs you will boot up faster and your computer will work faster.

• Run HijackThis (rightclick and run as admin)
• Click on the Scan button
• Put a check beside all of the items listed below (if present):
  
  • 
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AVG_UI] "C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\avgui.exe" /TRAYONLY

• Close all open windows and browsers/email, etc...
• Click on the "Fix Checked" button
• When completed, close the application.

Hello tulsa

There are some minor things in your online scan that should be removed.


delete files

• Copy all text in the code box (below)...to Notepad.
  

  @echo off
  rd /s /q "C:\AdwCleaner\"
  C:\Program Files\IObit Toolbar\IE\8.1\iobitToolbarIE.dll"
  del %0

• Save the Notepad file on your desktop...as delfile.bat... save type as "All Files"
  It should look like this: <--XP<--vista
• Double click on delfile.bat to execute it.
  A black CMD window will flash, then disappear...this is normal.
• The files and folders, if found...will have been deleted and the "delfile.bat" file will also be deleted.

The rest of the Online scan is only reporting backups created during the course of this fix C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\, and/or items located in System Restore's cache C:\System Volume Information\, Whatever is in these folders can't harm you unless you choose to perform a manual restore. the following steps will remove these backups.




Very well done!! This is my general post for when your logs show no more signs of malware - Please let me know if you still are having problems with your computer and what these problems are.


:Why we need to remove some of our tools:

Some of the tools we have used to clean your computer were made by fellow malware fighters and are very powerful and if used incorrectly or at the wronge time can make the computer an expensive paper weight.
They are updated all the time and some of them more than once a day so by the time you are ready to use them again they will already be outdated.

The following procedures will implement some cleanup procedures to remove these tools. It will also reset your System Restore by flushing out previous restore points and create a new restore point. It will also remove all the backups our tools may have made.
:DeFogger:

Note** Defogger only needs to be run if it was run when we first started. If you have not already run it then skip this.

• To re-enable your Emulation drivers, double click DeFogger to run the tool.
  
• The application window will appear
• Click the Re-enable button to re-enable your CD Emulation drivers
• Click Yes to continue
• A 'Finished!' message will appear
• Click OK
• DeFogger will now ask to reboot the machine - click OK.

Your Emulation drivers are now re-enabled.

:Uninstall ComboFix:

• turn off all active protection software
• push the "windows key" + "R" (between the "Ctrl" button and "Alt" Button)
• please copy and past the following into the box ComboFix /Uninstall and click OK.
• Note the space between the X and the /Uninstall, it needs to be there.
• 

:Remove the rest of our tools:

Please download OTCleanIt and save it to desktop. This tool will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.

• Double-click OTCleanIt.exe.
• Click the CleanUp! button.
• Select Yes when the "Begin cleanup Process?" prompt appears.
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.
• If asked to restart the computer, please do so

Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTCleanIt attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.



:The programs you can keep:

Some of the programs that we have used would be a good idea to keep and used often in helping to keep the computer clean. I use these programs on my computer.

Revo Uninstaller Free - this is the uninstaller that I had you download and works allot better than add/remove in windows and has saved me more than once from corrupted installs and uninstalls

CCleaner - This is a good program to clean out temp files, I would use this once a week or before any malware scan to remove unwanted temp files - It has a built in registry cleaner but I would leave that alone and not use any registry cleaner

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware The Gold standerd today in antimalware scanners

:Security programs:

One of the questions I am asked all the time is "What programs do you use" I have at this time 4 computers in my home and I have this setup on all 4 of them.

• Microsoft Security Essentials - provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.
  
• WinPatrol As a robust security monitor, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge.
  
• Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is a new and powerful anti-malware tool. It is
  totally free but for real-time protection you will have to pay a small one-time fee. We used this to help clean your computer and recomend keeping it and using often. (I have upgraded to the paid version of MBAM and I am glad I did)
  
  
  Note** If you decide to install MSE you will need to uninstall your present Antivirus

:Security awareness:


It is good security practice to change your passwords to all your online accounts on a fairly regular basis, this is especially true after an infection. Refer to this Microsoft article
Strong passwords: How to create and use them Then consider a password keeper, to keep all your passwords safe. KeePass is a small utility that allows you to manage all your passwords.

As Java seems to get exploited on a daily basis I advise to disable java in your web browsers - How to disable java in your web browsers - Disable Java


The other question I am asked all the time is "How can I prevent this from happening again." and the short answer to that is to be aware of what is out there and how to start spotting dangers.

Here are some articles that are must reads and should be read by everybody in your household that uses the internet

Here is some more reading for you from some of my colleges

Conclusion

There is no such thing as 'perfect security'. This applies to many things, not just computer systems. Using the above guide you should be able to take all the reasonable steps you can to prevent infection. However, the most important part of all this is you, the user. Surf sensibly and think before you download a file or click on a link. Take a few moments to assess the possible risks and you should be able to enjoy all the internet has to offer.

Gringo, thank you for your time and effort. Everything is working nicely. Thanks for the helpful advice as well. I'm going to re-think my anti-virus and try to protect myself better.
I'll watch how things go for the next couple of days, but I think you managed to nail everything down.

kindest regards,
tulsa

You mentioned several good programs to use for security. I am currently using different ones, but want to change to the ones you suggested. Is it advisable for me to run OTCleaner after I've uninstalled the current ones?

OT cleaner will only clean out some tools we use - what you would want to use is the CCleaner the temp file cleaner
