Windows Recovery Virus

[SPL]

Hi,

I am new to the forum. My knowledge of computers is pretty average. I contracted the Windows Recovery Virus last night from a website i think. I knew it was dodgey right away, then ESET NOD32 blocked a website it tired to access. I ran a scan using a free ware Malwarebytes, It found 4 trojans and they were deleted and computer rebooted.

Thank icons went missing. Background was black. Windows Recovery Virus popped its ugly head up again. I couldn't update malwarebytes, i assumed the virus prevented me. So i dont a little google search and found other people had the same issue. I folled intructions on the BC windows recovery uninstal.

I ran RKill. Done a malwarebytes scan, i trojan found and deleted. Restarted PC and what do you know Windows Recovery was back again...

I found one of your members post and followed the instructions.

Ran ComboFix, followed the directions. Everything seems good now, Updated Malwarebytes. Currently doing scan now. Most of my desktop items are back up. The back ground is still a black screen, quick launch icons are still missing. Windows recovery hasm't popped up yet.

Is there something else i can do to make sure i am virus, spyware , malware free?

Im not too happy ESET nod32 didnt stop the attack. Im thinking of upgrading to the paid version of Malwarebytes.

I will post up the malware log when finish.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me make sure i am full virus free.

Thank you

Please, never run C/Fix unless an expert thinks it suits your problem , if you read the directions it says to only use with expert help -

You need someone to diagnose the problem and read the results of the scan also -

Please only follow the directions below by daledoc1
