Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.
Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on icon and select Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

How is your system now?

Thanks, seems to be ok. What was wrong with my computer/what were the infections?

[dbrisendine]

It looks like the adware / PUP corrupted your HOST file.  And added a strange service / file.


Clean up of Malware Removal Tools
Now that we are through using these tools, let's clean them off your system so that should you ever need to have malware removed again (we hope not) fresh, updated copies will be downloaded.

• Download Delfix from here to your desktop and double click it to start the program
  
• Ensure Remove disinfection tools is ticked
  Also tick:
  
• Create registry backup
• Purge system restore

• Click Run
  
• The program will run for a few moments and then notepad will open with a log. Note: Please save this log first before rebooting your system (if asked to); DelFix does not save the log as it is trying to remove all traces of our work on your system.  Please attach the log in your next reply.
  

You can delete any log files left on your desktop as these are no longer needed.

Sorry for the delay, I leave first thing in the morning for work and get back very late during the week.

Do not worry about the delays; we all have to deal with work in the real world.  Hope everything is going well on your end.  If you need anything else, come and ask.

Should I just delete Delfix now?

Do you see it?   

Delfix should remove itselfe when run
