AVG says and Malwarebytes says WTF?

[jpinks]

Ok I have MBampro and recently added AVG. MBAM is doing a ton of blocking of outgoing all of a sudden and it says I am clean. AVG on the other hand is showing infections and adware tracking cookies on every scan (says its deleting them but still there next scan). Even showing 2 as rootkits but one is a cookie and other shows as a IRP hook under drivers? Uhm WTF? Never had this before and am kinda stumped as to how or where these come from. Is AVG just being paranoid? What tools should I use to try and sort this out?

Hello jpinks,

If you think you are infected, here are the steps needed to get your computer cleaned....

Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process:

Don't use any temporary file cleaners unless requested - this can cause data loss and make recovery difficult

See thats why I posted it here. I am not sure if its false positives from AVG or what. Running a SAS scan now and its showing lots of adware cookies and a pup toolbar I dont know where it came from. I was sugested to try running a Hitman Pro scan on the pc to see if it sees any issues. Not familiar with that program but will probably try it. I am just trying to figure out whats going on. Like I said all of a sudden seeing a bunch of MBAM blocking access alerts.
