Logs to reply with: MBAM and DDS/GMER

NOTE: If Malwarebytes won't run or DDS/GMER won't run please still create a new post in the Malware Removal - HijackThis Logs forum and explain what happens.

NOTE: Please DO NOT post back to your post within the first 48 hours. Replying to your own posts changes the post count and will often cause helpers to think that you're already being helped and thus they won't open and look at your post.
