The ESET scanner had no log option... It said "No Threats Found" though. Here is the log from OTL and the Malwarebytes log after.

Hi newjackridi,

The logs are showing no indication af a Malware issue and I suspect your issues may not be malware related.

Could you give me more details of the security certificate issues, the exact wording of the error?

Something like "The certificate is not valid. Someone may be trying to trick you." Or something along those lines. Is it possible that a hacker is attacking my computer via my IP address?

It's the same error message you get every time you get a certificate error. It says not to continue to the site, etc. It hasn't happened since a couple days ago, so I don't know the exact wording.
If it is a hacker is there any way to protect my computer?

Before I use ComboFix, is there a reason why I'm using ComboFix? It seems dangerous, I'm not an experienced computer user, so I don't want to mess up and ruin my computer. Is there a safer alternative? Can I please just get a detailed explanation as to why I need to use ComboFix and if there is any other solution?

Hi newjackridi,

is there a reason why I'm using ComboFix? It seems dangerous


The scans that have been run so far have failed to identify any significant signs of malware on the computer and so we need to use more powerful tools to investigate further.

Whilst there can be no guarantees of safety, in this case I am of the opinion that Combofix is the appropriate tool to use. The choice however is yours.

Please let me know how you would like to continue.

Is there something else? I don't have a printer so I can't print out the directions.

Hi newjackridi,

Due to unwillingness to run the requested tools the topic will be closed.

Please follow these steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure.


Clean up with OTL

  • Double-click OTL.exe to start the program. This will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.
  • Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
  • On the OTL main screen, press the CleanUp! button
  • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.



Update your AntiVirus Software and keep your other programs up-to-date
Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
Secunia Software Inspector
F-secure Health Check

Security Updates for Windows, Internet Explorer & Microsoft Office
Whenever a security problem in its software is found, Microsoft will usually create a patch so that after the patch is installed, attackers can't use the vulnerability to install malicious software on your PC. Keeping up with these patches will help to prevent malicious software being installed on your PC. Ensure you are registered for Windows updates via Start > right-click on My Computer > Properties > Automatic Updates tab or visit the Microsoft Update site on a regular basis.

Happy surfing and stay clean!
