Hijack.Displayproperties and Hijack.Homepage Virus Removal?

[CharrX]

Hey guys

I've got this virus here that apparently permanently creates new tracking cookies.

Before this, I had a dropper virus on my USB stick (formatted etc., it's gone now), which dropped a fake lsass.exe on my comp, got rid of it with Malwarebytes & Avast!.

Here's the MB-log.
