Bug (Java??)

[oolongcranberry]

Long story short I wanted to watch a show, which then redirected me to a page saying I need to update my Java, so I clicked the button and installed it (twice by accident) and avast sent me several messages saying that the content was blocked. On the window on the right side (the one that pops up) the source of the bug was IN my laptop files, not a website.
Either way, now my computer works a lot slower, there are two files installed and a program with an empty folder (before I ran the scans anyway).
Also my google homepage was changed to something else
I did all the scans and I just want to know if everything is okay and if I need to do anything else now

Logs attached. The aswMBR is not compatible for Win8 but I ran the scan anyway, so that log is attached too.

Thank you!

I ran the scans and fixes and I'm attaching the logs

I also wanted to know, for future reference, if I should upgrade my version of avast for one that you have to pay for? Would it make a big difference in preventing me from getting bugs and PUPs?

[SafeSurf]

It's up to you, or you can layer your security with something like Malwarebytes (MBAM).  Are you using a 2-way firewall preferably with HIPS?

[oolongcranberry]

SafeSurf: I have no idea; this goes beyond my computer knowledge, sadly

[essexboy]

Generally Avast free will be sufficient, unless you need safezone for online banking etc. 
Windows 8 firewall is again sufficient.

For PUP's you can set Avast to detect them and harden how Avast works, it is a tad noiser (a few alert popups) but definitely an option

How is the computer behaving now ?

[oolongcranberry]

It seems to be back to normal

Thank you so much for all the help uvu

[essexboy]

In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way

Subject to no further problems   

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems 

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean  :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset  System Restore points:

Download and run Delfix



Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware



Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean


It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
