Am I Infected? Weird Download


Recommended Posts

Issue: File downloaded from website after popup happened, I'm guessing. 
Browser I used at the time: Google Chrome
File: something.htm from a site with xyz as the extension. Malwarebytes blocked me from visiting the site.
Happened: February 23rd at 10am.
Issues: Just worried if it could have infected my computer
Additional: My space saver came on, but I am not convinced they are related as I cleaned a few things out of my computer and now have more space.
What I Have Done: Ran scan with premium malwarebytes (threat) and adwcleaner. Turned off automatic downloads in Chrome.
Results: Found no issues or viruses/etc.
Additional Question: Do you know how to delete temporary files safely without losing any of my actual files? As I think that might be where all of the space is being taken up at.

I have attached the threat scan txt and the farbar scan FRST and Addition txt.

Thank you! ☺️

Hi! Thank you so much for helping me!

I turned on system restore for both hard-drives on my computer. I chose 11gb for one and 18gb for the other, is this an okay option or should I make it higher/lower?

I have ran the fixlist and attached the fixlog!

The fixlist cleared up a good amount of space! And I haven't really noticed any problems so far. My display had a little glitch for a second but I think it's because the system was still booting up. I was mostly just worried I might have a virus, do you think I did?

Thank you so so so much!

When I visit a site that I currently run, it says I cannot visit due to a trojan? But myself and my host has checked and so far there's nothing. I'm thinking malwarebytes might be flagging it, I want to say as a false positive, unless it's a plugin. But everyone says they aren't getting any warnings and that the site is secure with the green lock. The url is in the attached screen capture.

I have also attached the files from a quickscan, FRST (and addition), ADWCleaner. And I ran a  scan with Sophos Virus Removal Tool and it said my computer was clean.

I have visited the site in both firefox and chrome.

I'm not syncing on any devices. I have reset my firefox and it still persists. Do you think it's a false positive on the site? If it is - is there any way to have it removed from malwarebytes' list as an infected site?

I have ran a scan on the site itself, inside of the cpanel (since I run it), and there's no viruses.
