Hi Guys, So does "no official reply" mean that i dont have anything to worry about? - Did malwarebytes totally get rid of the 15 items it found?

Hi Andrew, you slipped through the cracks in the forums. To answer your questions directly. Yes, MBAM removed some malware. I will fetch Sass Drake for further examination.

Code: [Select]

I don't know how it's done in Australia - but short form of Assignment in Canada is "As". Though I do love the naming convention.

Edit: Do you live in a dorm (or large apartment complex) by chance? I only ask because given enough connections in the area, they can interfere with each other. This is likely related to a hardware (with your router) problem more than anything.

I don't see anything malicous in FRST logs. Can your phone connect to home Wi-Fi?
