Here's an update after running all the scans and fixes thus far -- the last scan needed from Screen317 seems to be unavailable.

From what I could tell it looks like there was some spyware/adware and possibly a trojan.

After installing Malwarebytes it kept flagging an outgoing request from BitTorrent to a server in China, so I uninstalled BitTorrent.

I'll be upgrading this computer to Windows 8 and then 8.1 which is one reason why I wanted to make sure it was clean, and other reasons include some slowness, and I noticed a random app called Search Protection which clearly seemed like it was malware.

By and large the computer seems pretty decent. It has Avast antivirus, but apparently that didn't catch everything.

Thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,

What's happening?

I'm understanding correct that your Computer runs fine?

[codesWithaFist]

Yeah -- the computer seems to be fine -- the screen317 scanner isn't available but I'll try again to get it.

In the meantime, unless you see something in the logs that you feel requires more attention then I'd say we're looking good.

I'll wait for your final word.

What's happening when you download the tool from here? On my PC I'm able to download ...

Might have been a connection or network issue -- I kept trying until it worked -- it's running right now (currently at the System Health Check phase).

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top
• Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

- NEXT -

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

I want you to uninstall following programs (Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs):

• ESET

What's with MBAM?

Malwarebytes is a very good free scanner! It isn't a one demand scanner so it won't have any problems with your AntiVirus! It would be good if you scan your PC after Malware every 1-2 months (of course with Malwarebytes).
But if you like to uninstall it, then make that:

Exercise common sense

Having security programs installed is very helpful to you, but none of them have the gift of human thought. The best way to make sure you don't get infected is to look before you leap. Be careful of what websites you visit - if a site looks suspicious, trust your instincts and get out of there. Be careful of what attachments you open in emails and files you download from websites - check them over carefully and look at the file extensions to make sure that you know what you're getting. Using peer-to-peer file sharing programs or downloading cracks and keygens is something else to avoid - the files you will be downloading are infected in the vast majority of cases, and the benefits simply aren't worth the risk to your computer.

Keep up on Windows updates

Along with keeping all of the security programs that you choose to use updated, it is also important to keep up on system updates from Microsoft, as these patch critical security vulnerabilities and help to keep you safe. Typically the windows update icon will appear in your taskbar when new updates are available, whenever you see it you should open the menu up and install the updates that are available. Although it may be an annoyance, that little bit of extra time it takes to stay updated is very well worth it instead of getting infected from an exploit and having to clean your PC again.

Slow computer?

If your computer begins to slow down again in the future for no particular reason, your first step should not be to come back to the malware forum. As your computer ages and is used, its parts wear, files and programs accumulate, and its performance speed can decrease. To restore your computer's performance to its best possible level, follow the steps in this guide (http://www.geekstogo...g-your-machine/) written by tech expert Artellos.

Keep safe!

Okay -- I think I have everything covered now -- I went thru the last steps in your last post and the computer seems a bit more responsive now, too.

Thanks again for all the help.

Cheers,
Codes

[Machiavelli]

No problem.
