Infected with an Unknown Virus

Before we continue, I just want to confirm something about MalwareBytes' AntiMalware. I heard it causes WinSock damage. Is this true? And what is WinSock?

In computing, the Windows Sockets API, which was later shortened to Winsock, is a technical specification that defines how Windows network software should access network services.
I personally have not heard anything regarding winsock damage.

Okay, I still need to do the Kaspersky scan. In the meantime, here's the MalwareBytes' AntiMalware Log:

I will await the scans. Is that all of the malwarebytes scan just looks as though it's been cut short.

That's odd... I rechecked the log. That's all of it. I also did a quick google check of other MalwareByte logs. They're all about the same size as the above.

By the way, I'm pretty busy today.

That's ok as we can see what it flagged. when your ready post the kaspersky scan
No rush!

Hi dan12,

Unfortunately, my computer started to malfunction. There was a missing file in the OS. I really don't know how that happened. Anyways, I just re-imaged the Hard Drive. Sorry, but I should've took note of the file. However, I really would like to thank you for the time spent, and effort to help me. I really do appreciate it.

Thanks,

Taha

Ok, your most welcome, thanks for letting me know. If you want to send a log in for me to check,I'm happy to look it over.
I will leave thread open for a couple more days.
