So I decided to perform a routine C: scan with Avast free, and it turns out it found two malicious files described as
Win32:BProtect-D [Trj]:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\HA9PC1V5\pack[1].7z|>bprotect.exe
C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\HA9PC1V5\pack[1].7z|>protector.dll
I tried fixing them, then putting them under quarantine, then deleting them, but nothing worked, so I decided to start a topic here. I already used Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware as advised here:
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0 but from what I've understood, you don't use another program until after you post a log file and get a reply, so for now I'm just including the results of scanning with this one program. If anything more is needed just inform me. Thanks in advance for any help.
