Hi Adam.

 

 

Here's the results of the things you asked me to do.

 

Java updated to V65.

Versions 22 and 45 were uninstalled.

 

 

This is the MBAM Scan log.

 

Attached File  mbam-log-2014-07-25 (19-36-37).xml   4.63KB   94 downloads

 

 

This is the ESET log.

 

C:\AdwCleaner\Quarantine\C\ProgramData\Updater\Uninstall.exe.vir multiple threats
C:\AdwCleaner\Quarantine\C\ProgramData\Updater\updater.exe.vir a variant of Win32/Toolbar.WebApp.A potentially unwanted application
C:\Users\Dave\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\46\5a2bb2e-720b8790 multiple threats
 

Hope this helps.

 

Dave.
