So I'm infected with something...

[scarletbanner]

Background: I noticed one day that I was download/uploading a significant amount of more traffic than usual with that I normally have open. I ran Wireshark it turns out that my computer has been essentially clicking ads in the background. I ran scans of AVG, Spybot S&D, etc. and nothing. I've been looking for an excuse to uninstall AVG anyways so I uninstalled that and installed Avast Free.

Avast at least recognizes that there is something going on:

Those pop up with variations of the same URL but different search terms they're using every couple minutes. What's actually causing it however doesn't show up running a scan. From the stickied thread, I've attached AdwCleaner, Malwarebytes, OTL and aswMBR logs.

Hi,


Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool by Farbar and save it to your desktop.

Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

• Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  
• Under Optional Scan ensure "List BCD" and "Driver MD5" are ticked.
  
• Press Scan button.
  
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) in the same directory the tool is run. Please attach it to your reply.
  
• The first time the tool is run, it makes also another log (Addition.txt). Please attach it to your reply.
