Hello again GatorDawg,
but I'm a bit concerned about this first two lines.
In what way?
The Spybot one had already been identified by Spybot but had been kept in recovery in case you had wanted to recover it. The recovery folder can be purged by going to Spybot > Recovery and selecting the items you want to delete and using Purge Selected Items.
In this case ESET has seen it there.
For the other one, see this
link.
Malware can take a "lift" with a legitmate program so to speak lol.
Both of those files have been dealt with, see later in the ESET scan.
NowIt seems to be running much better
I think you are good to go.
We have a couple of last steps to perform and then you're all set.
Please run OTL.exe
Next- Double-click OTL.exe to run it. (Vista users, please right click on OTL.exe and select "Run as an Administrator")
- Click on the CleanUp! button
- You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the Cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.
To remove AdwCleaner double click on
adwcleaner.exe to run the tool.
Click on
Uninstall, then confirm with
yes to remove AdwCleaner from your computer.
Any remaining tools may be deleted.
Next, we need to clean your restore points and set a new one:
Open System by clicking the Start button, right-clicking
Computer, and then clicking
Properties.
- In the left pane, click System protection. Administrator permission required If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
- Under Protection Settings, click the radio button Configure.

- Click Continue, and then click OK.
