Hi guys,
I need some help!
Somehow, this annoying malware (anythicago .com , bestdriverstar .net  etc.) has moved into my computer. I get Avast alerts like a million times a day and it drives me crazy. I saw that people with the same problem got their solutions here, so I hoped you will help me avoid the boring Windows reinstall process. 

I already ran a FRST scan. You can see the logs as attachments.

 

Any idea what I should do next?

 

Thanks in advance!

I think it did the trick. Haven't seen an alert since I did this.

Thank you very very very much!
