SearchScopes

Hi JimBob,

There's no obvious signs of infection in either of the logs you've attached.

SearchScopes is not an infection as such, it is a Key in your Registry ... HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes ... which is used when running Searches.

Some infection processes utilise this key, however so do legitimate processes, so the fact that you have entries in this key does not necessarily mean that you have an infection.

To check that I haven't overlooked something, please run the following scan for me ....

Please run a scan with ESET Online Scanner

Note: You can use either Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox for this scan. You will however need to disable your current installed Anti-Virus, how to do so can be read here.

• Please go HERE then click on Run ESET Online Scanner
