LucyInTheSky Posted October 27, 2014 ID:897241 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I've gotten about six alerts from Avast for a malware called Win32 Spigot, or SP.dll when I move it to quarantine. It always says "No other action required", but my computer is slowing down and "eating" documents (it replaced one with all # signs- although this is a known OO error). Malwarebytes removed five PUP programs, the last of which was called "My Emoticons" or something like that. Please assist. ----Logs: attached Running Windows 8.1, with Avast and Malwarebytes Addition.txtFRST.txtShortcut.txt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyInTheSky Posted October 27, 2014 Author ID:897264 Share Posted October 27, 2014 UPDATE: I ran an Adwcleaner scan and got rid of the Search Protection program that's often associated with Spigot programs. Here's the log of that: # AdwCleaner v4.002 - Report created 27/10/2014 at 14:43:15# DB v2014-10-26.6# Updated 27/10/2014 by Xplode# Operating System : Windows 8.1 (64 bits)# Username : jsc - YAKIMA# Running from : C:\Users\jsc\Downloads\AdwCleaner.exe# Option : Clean ***** [ Services ] ***** ***** [ Files / Folders ] ***** Folder Deleted : C:\Users\jsc\AppData\Roaming\Search ProtectionFile Deleted : C:\Users\Public\Desktop\eBay.lnk ***** [ Scheduled Tasks ] ***** ***** [ Shortcuts ] ***** ***** [ Registry ] ***** ***** [ Browsers ] ***** -\\ Internet Explorer v11.0.9600.17344 ************************* AdwCleaner[R0].txt - [781 octets] - [27/10/2014 14:40:21]AdwCleaner[s0].txt - [700 octets] - [27/10/2014 14:43:15] ########## EOF - C:\AdwCleaner\AdwCleaner[s0].txt - [759 octets] ########## Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
