I have done all the steps you have mentioned and Malwarebytes is not showing any threat. Other than that I dont have any other way to know whether my computer is still infected or not.

I will run the farbar program later today and post the results.

Another thing is, I am unable to run farbar tool anymore. As mentioned earlier, it goes into an infinite loop of updating itself again and again. I have run it from both desktop and documents folder with "run as administrator".

HI,

Temporarily disable your AV program so it does not interfere.
Info on how to disable your security applications How To Temporarily Disable Your Anti-virus, Firewall And Anti-malware Programs - Security Mini-Guides.

Download Zoek tool from here

When the download appears, save to the Desktop.
On the Desktop, right-click the Zoek.exe file and select: Run as Administrator 
(Give it a few seconds to appear.)

Next, copy/paste the entire script inside the code box below to the input field of Zoek:

createsrpoint;
autoclean;
emptyalltemp;
ipconfig /flushdns;b

Now...
Close any open Browsers.
Click the Run script button, and wait. It takes a few minutes to run all the script.

When the tool finishes, the zoek-results.log is opened in Notepad.
The log is also found on the systemdrive, normally C:\
If a reboot is needed, the log is opened after the reboot.

Please attach the zoek-results.log in your reply.

Also, please provide an update on how the computer is behaving after running the above script.

Hi,

Please download the attached Fixlist.txt file to  the same folder where the Farbar tool is running from.
The location is listed in the 3rd line of the FRST.txt log you have submitted.

Run FRST and click Fix only once and wait.

The tool will create a log (Fixlog.txt) please post it to your reply.

Please post the Fixlog.txt and let me know what problem persists.
