Thanks for the reply Gringo, I figured out that there were 3 programs that had installed themselves and I forgot to record their names. One of them was called solid savings, one was called browse 2 save or something and for the life of me I can't remember the other one. The solid savings program had created several folders under google/chrome in appdata/local, which is where MBAM initially detected some of the malware. The four in that log that I attatched are not the only ones it found, because I had done prior scans and those ones persisted but it now appears to have removed them. I also remember the initial file that caused this and I can't beleive I didn't notice that it wasn't normal when it first happened over 4 months ago, which is strange that it took so long to surface. The file/program that caused this was the softonic downloader for gedit, which i don't know why i used when there is an official site for it prior to it in searching for gedit. I had unchecked all extras it wanted me to install, but obviously it was the installer or something. It appears to be functioning again and all has been remedied, because I installed it so long ago, would you recommend that I delete all affected recovery points and create a fresh one now that it is clean?
