Hi steviewilson,

Please post the log from the last Malwarebytes scan.

Well for some reason the log never saved! So I removed the highlighted files and malicious files, rebooted, did another scan and ZERO infections came up! I did a HJT scan and have included that log.

Think Im out the water now? Fingers crossed!

      Archives

[*]Click on My Computer under Scan.

[*]Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.
