Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Help needed. Red X in taskbar that says "Your computer is infected!

Like most security applications, Malwarebytes' AntiMalware is frequently updated. Your version is badly out of date, and is still susceptible to a bug in the application which was fixed long ago. Before you ever run it again, update the application and it's definitions, otherwise you'll continue to reintroduce the bug to your machine.

It doesn't appear that ComboFix removed anything related to your wireless.

What is AVS?

ComboFix was not allowed to install the Recovery Console. Did you have troubles with that?

===================================

First, reboot the machine. See if internet is reestablished.

Please go to Start > Run and copy/paste the following, then press Enter:

C:\QooBox\ComboFix-quarantined-files.txt

Post the contents of the logfile which will open.
