I know I keep saying it, but thank you so much for taking the time to help me!!
You're most welcome.
Wow that ESET scan took forever!
That is quite an in-depth scan so depending on the amount of files it has to scan it can take some time.
My computer seems to be running pretty good right now.
That's good news
Can you tell where I got the malware from? I mean, if it was from one of my kid's game sites or a facebook app
Unfortunatly it is impossible for me to tell but Facebook is a possibility, it just takes you to click on the wrong link to infect your computer.
If you see something on facebook that says something like "hey check this out" you click it and your infected it's that easy.
Well the good news is your latest set of logs appear to be clean!
This is my general post for when your logs show no more signs of malware.
Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
Clean up with OTM
- Right-click OTM.exe And select " Run as administrator " to run it. If Windows UAC prompts you, please allow it.
- This tool will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.
- Close all other programs apart from OTMoveIt3 as this step will require a reboot
- On the OTM main screen, press the CleanUp! button
- Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.
You can now delete any tools we used if they remain on your Desktop.
Protection Programs
Don't forget to re-enable any protection programs we disabled during your fix.
Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.
I recommend you keep Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, keep it updated and run it once a week.
I also recommend you keep ATF Cleaner to clean out temp files.
