Somehow infected with trojan(s), please help! [FIXED - thank you!]

[REDACTED]

Thank you, essexboy, for your help!

I hope it's okay that I've added the files as attachments. <3

Weird thing is, when I tried to submit this post, my net went down for a few seconds.

A scan with MBAM should now show no problems .. Can you confirm that

Yes. :3

edit:
Is it ok for me to also check with MCShield to see if my USB has any traces of the trojan on it? I was stupid and transferred files that I wanted to salvage over there while I was cleaning out the initial infection. It's only a 2GB USB stick, but some of the files on there are important.

Also noticed that since I did what you asked, my net keeps disconnecting randomly. I don't know why. I think it is Avast's secure DNS that is acting up, actually.

To test the secure DNS problem out switch it off

Download MCShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives

Plug in the drive and McShield will start a scan

Then get the log which will be located under the logs tab on the main page

And post that

Is there an improvement after you stopped secure DNS ?  Also do you have any other problems ?

[REDACTED]

I think there's been a marginal improvement since I turned the DNS thing off.

The thing is, my ISP's a bit crap when it comes to the net going down due to area faults, etc. If the problem persists, I'll give them a ring.

I don't think I've had any problems since you've saved my computer, thanks so much for your help. Is there a way to give you rep or something or is my account too new for that? c:

[essexboy]

We don't use the rep thing here

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:
