Hello and welcome to the forum.
My name is Airscape and I'll be helping you with your malware issues.
HijackThis logs can take time to analyze. Please be patient with me.

Take note of following before we begin:
  • Post to this thread only and please stick to it until you are given an All Clean. Absence of symptoms does not mean that your computer is clean.
  • The instructions I give are for This computer only and should not be used on any other pc.
  • Do NOT run any tools/scans unless I instruct you to.
  • Try not to install/uninstall any programs while we work. This will add extra time researching your logs.
  • If you have found assistance elsewhere and no longer require our help, please say so, and this topic will be closed.
  • If you have any problems, please stop and ask before proceeding with any fixes.
  • ALL USERS OF THIS FORUM MUST READ THIS FIRST


Note: As I'm in training here at MRU, everything I post must be checked by an expert first. So there may be a slight delay in between posts.

No reply within 3 days will result in your topic being closed. If you need more time, please let me know.


In the mean time please post an uninstall list and a new HijackThis log:

Uninstall list with HijackThis
  • Launch HijackThis and click Open the Misc Tools section
  • Under System Tools > Click Open Uninstall Manager
  • Click on the Save list... button. By default it's named uninstall_list.txt
  • Please post the uninstall_list.txt in your next reply along with a new HJT log.
