Downloading norman atm, quick question. Why is the download so big for a scanning tool? Is it a full featured AV?
Not quite no but more comprehensive than that, further information can be read here.
I would also like to use chrome instead if possible for ESET.
Fair play it appears you opted to run the scan with IE I am surmisng; for intrest sake this is how you would run the scan using Chrome...
ESET Online Scanner:
Note: The below instructions relate to running the scan with Google Chrome only. You will need to disable your current installed Anti-Virus for the duration of the online scan, how to do so can be read here.
Windows 7 users: You will need to to right-click on the either the Google Chrome icon in the Start Menu or Quick Launch Bar on the Taskbar and select Run as Administrator from the context menu.
- Please go here to run the scan...
- In the window that now appears called Launch ESET Online Scanner
- Double-click on esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe to download the ESET Smart Installer
- Then in the lower left hand corner of the browser window double click on >> follow the prompts
- In the new window that appears select the option YES, I accept the Terms of Use then click on Start
- Now in the Computer scan settings window that appears:-

- Do nottouch either the Mouse or keyboard during the scan otherwise it may stall.
- When completed select Uninstall application on close if you so wish, make sure you copy the logfile first!
- Now click on: Finish
- Use notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files (x86)\ESET\ESET Online Scanner\log.txt
- Copy and paste that log as a reply to this topic.
Just one of the variations based upon my other set of instructions created for Chrome that can be adjusted to suit the situation/actual operating system etc.

Now from a Anti-Malware point of view all looking fine so far so lets run a few checks pertaining to the actual Operating System itself as follows...
Run Windows 7 SRD:
Boot you machine up using the Windows 7 Startup Repair Disk you created.

- At the the System Recovery Options screen click Windows 7 to highlight then Next>
- Now click on/select Startup Repair
- If prompted to use System Restore, select Cancel.
- The same if prompted to Send information about this problem (recommended), select Don't send.
- Click Finish when Startup Repair has completed, run it again another two times.
- Upon completion of the third run, remove the SRD disc and then click on Restart
Windows 7 - System File Checker:
- Click on Start(Windows 7 Orb).
- Then click on All Programs >> Accessories
