Here's the Malwarebytes log from 7-23, showing a virus deleted. Two scans I ran later show nothing.

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
[*]Open OTL again and click the Quick Scan button. Post the log it produces in your next reply. [/list]

THEN

Download and Install Combofix
 
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2
 
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
 
* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
[*]Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
[*]Accept the disclaimer and allow to update if it asks

 



[*]When finished, it shall produce a log for you.
[*]Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
[/list]

Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
3.  If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.



Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now

Essexboy: I followed your instructions (to the best of my knowledge). Unfortunately, even after two reboots, the malware alert still comes up when I use Firefox.

I removed Advanced System Care after reading about their database theft, even though this happened a couple of years ago and CNET has given the program a good review. Before running Combofix.exe from the desktop I disabled the following antivirus programs in my system:  Avast, Malwarebytes, and Windows Defender. I believe I disabled Superantispyware, but am uncertain about WinPatrol.

The Combofix program seemed to run normally, through 50 or so stages, etc. etc.   

As you requested I am attaching the OTL and Combofix logs.

I appreciate your persistence in this matter.

michael266:
Superantispyware and Spybot Winpatrol are the free versions and only scan, not protect.
