It 'looks' like I am all back to normal. I did an Avast quick scan and it came up clean.

Just running windows update now and it's pulling some stuff down, so it looks to me like it's working...

Would you say that I should be good to go now? Or should I run anything else?

I would like you to use it as normal for a day and when you are happy let me know and I will remove my tools and tidy up  ;D

Thanks a lot Essex! I sincerely appreciate the help! I'm usually the goto guy for this stuff but I've never had anything this nasty before and since this is my main machine for business I'm feeling well anxious... Just wish I knew how I got this little bugger, I'm afraid to surf now :)

Will let you know tomorrow if everything seems all good.

In the meantime, should I delete my attachments from my posts? Not sure what the implications are of having those logs up there for everyone to review...

Thanks!

To be honest there is nothing really earth shattering in the logs apart from the computer name and what programmes you are running.  But sure go ahead and remove them
