which would lead me to believe that a trojan has injected itself into the file. If this is the case, why are both programs saying I'm clean?
Trojans does not inject itself and no security program have 100% detection or zero false positives

Virus inject itself then? I read online somewhere that they can inject themselves into regular windows files. You can probably both tell that I don't really know what I'm doing :P
And according to that addition.txt file I have 30+ driver errors in Device Manager that I didn't know about. Going to see about fixing those.

Ok so I ran windows update and oddly enough all of the Windows 7 security updates failed to install... more reason to believe I have a virus. Both Avast and Anti-malware found items and removed them previously but since they haven't found anything. Not sure what else to do at this point.

*Update* I looked through the windows update history and found the KB code for all of the failed updates. I downloaded them all manually from the windows download website and they all say either that they are already installed on my computer, don't apply or "is blocked by another condition on your computer".

Base System Device has no drivers installed; this sounds like a serious hardware issue.  Is this a custom built machine?


Explain why all the Adobe entries in the Host file are there please??????

Ok so Malware Bytes and Avast both say that my system is clean which is why I assumed that the infection was gone. Oddly though Malware bytes keeps stopping my SvChost.exe file in the Windows/System32 folder from accessing a website both inbound and outbound which would lead me to believe that a trojan has injected itself into the file. If this is the case, why are both programs saying I'm clean? I did an Avast Boot time scan and a full Malware bytes scan.

I don't run any pirated or illegal software.

30th line of your Additions.txt file.

dbrise, this is a custom system. No OEM will give you 32GB of RAM + an OCable CPU. Let alone 5 SATA ports for internal storage. (Not even Alienware would do this, you might be able to coax something out of DigitalStorm though).

You did not answer my questions. 


Have you looked into the Base System Device / driver issue as this may be what is causing the crashes on reboot?  Does the system crash on reboot normally or only when certain routines want to run during start-up?


Your logs do not show any major malware but there are some things that could be cleaned up.  However, cleaning will involve shutting down processes and rebooting the system so making sure that can happen correctly would be helpful.


You are not on trial here but we would appreciate your removing Adobe or at least resetting your Host file.
