Hi theReaper0908,
You’re most welcome, theReaper0908.
OK, let’s do this next.
First of all, we will need to disable a few security applications as they may interfere with the fixes that we need to make.
We need to disable your Windows Defender real-time protection as it may interfere with the fixes that we need to make.
To disable
Windows Defender:
- Open Windows Defender.
- Click on Tools, General Settings.
- Scroll down and uncheck Turn on real-time protection (recommended).
- After you uncheck this, click on the Save button and close Windows Defender.
To disable
Ad-Aware’s Ad-Watch:
- Right click on the Ad-Watch icon in the system tray and select "Restore Ad-Watch".
- At the bottom of the screen there will be two checkable items called "Active" and "Automatic".
- Active: Switches Monitoring On or Off without closing
- Automatic: Switches Automatic Blocking On or Off
- Uncheck (red X) both items.
NEXT:
Please run
HijackThis and click "
Scan". Place a check (tick) next to the following entries (if present):

Your log shows that you have disabled some startup programs using msconfig. This is not recommended because I cannot clearly see everything that is loading on your computer at startup. This can be bad if they are malware, so I would like you to re-enable those startup entries.
To re-enable all startup items please follow these instructions:
- Please go to Start -> Run and type (or copy and paste):
msconfig
- Click OK.
- If not already selected go to the General tab.
- Under Startup Selection select "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services".
- Click Apply and then Close.
- When you are prompted to reboot, select "Exit Without Restart".
- Post a new HijackThis log when you are done.
NEXT:
Please
REBOOT your computer normally into Windows and post these logs in your next reply:
- The log from OTMoveIt.
- The reports from VirusTotal.
- The log from the Kaspersky scan.
- A new ComboFix log.
- A new HijackThis log.
(You might have to paste the logs in multiple posts in the event they are too long and breach the post length restrictions of the forum software).
Also, please let me know how things are running now and if you encountered any problems while you were following the directions I posted.
