Multiple viruses on boot scan

[HairLost]

I scanned my computer for viruses and 1 was found, I was then recommended to do a boot scan, so I did. Multiple viruses were found including somoto-J and Agent.fxx. They have been quarantined.

I decided to go through the steps shown on these forums using MBAM, OTL and aswMBR. Although aswMBR consistently paused through the scan, I was able to get reports from MBAM and OTL.

Can someone with more knowledge have a look through and see if everything checks out?

Thanks.

Multiple viruses were found including somoto-J and Agent.fxx.

where they detected as PUP ?
PUP = not virus / Possible Unwanted Programs  (also shown in your Malwarebytes log) usually crap that comes bundled with freeware downloads
avast PUP scan is default off...exept for in BootScan

Malware removers are notified and will check your logs .....if they dont reply today, check back tomorrow

Somoto-J was defined as PUP but the agent.fxx one was not.

• To help AntiVirus to protect your computer and speed it up, I recommend that you download, install and keep the following free programs:
1. Keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update it regularly or from time to time and run a Quick Scan weekly.
Malwarebytes will detect and remove all traces of known malware. MBAM isn't AntiVirus and it can NOT replace it.

2. Keep MCShield Anti-Malware, the tool will be updated regularly and perform auto-checking for malware to each attached USB memory device.
MCShield, has been designed as a lightweight scanner that's smart enough to catch even new worms and work in fully automatic removal mode.

3. It’s recommended to delete Temporary Files every once in a while. Run the tool and click on the Start button and TFC will begin to clean. Then restart the computer.
Temp File Cleaner aka TFC by OldTimer
TFC is small & usefull utility that shall clean up temp files from all userprofiles and system folders.
