I think i got a virus!

[lars.anderssen]

My computer has been acting odd lately and i belive it's because of a virus.
I did as it says on the avast helping site by scanning with different things to get the OTL.txt, Extras.txt and aswMBR.txt.
I dont know what to do with them so i'm posting them here as a attachment.

Hopfully someone knows what to do and can help me

Thanks.

[lars.anderssen]

quick question before i do that. I noticed it said "Reboot" does this mean that i have to backup everything i need on the computer becuase it's going to be deleted?

[Secondmineboy]

Nope, its a system reboot.

Its just deleting empty folders.

[lars.anderssen]

ok finaly did it. here is the log file.

i have not noticed any changes on my computer after this but it might be that i only have been on it for 10 min after running the file.

[magna86]

Hi lars.anderssen,
Command "Reboot;" just forse Windows to preform system reboot after script execution. The very act is legitimate.

Both programs Zoek and CF, they did a great job. Your system would have to work much better now. Still, there is small fix to preform ...


1. Re-run zoek again but this time use this script:

Code: [Select]

Movies Toolbar for Chrome;u
Pando Media Booster;u
AutoClean;
Post me his fresh created log after the execution. FYI: system shall reboot again.
