Hello misfit21ca,

Your latest set of logs appear to be clean!
This is my general post for when your logs show no more signs of malware.
Before I give you instructions how to keep your computer clean and secure, you need to make a few additional steps.

Step 1.
Update Adobe Reader
Your version of Adobe ReaderX (10.1.11) is out-of-date. There are serious security issues with older versions of Adobe Reader.
I'm not asking you to update any Adobe Acrobat installation... this can be quite costly. I am going to insist that you update your Adobe Reader software.
Then use the Reader for viewing PDF files - you can use the Acrobat software for your other needs.

Remove Program(s)

1. Click on Start, then click the Start Search box on the Start Menu.
2. Copy and paste the value below into the open text entry box:
   (Do not include the words Code: Select all - instead of it please click the Select all button next to Code: to select the entire script.)
   

    appwiz.cpl 

   and press Enter - the Unistall or change a program list will be opened.
3. Click each Entry, as follows, one by one, if it exists, choose Uninstall, and give permission to Continue:
   Adobe Reader X (10.1.11)
4. Take extra care in answering questions posed by any Uninstaller.
5. When the program(s) have been uninstalled, please close Control Panel.

Please download the current version of Adobe Reader...Copyright © Adobe Systems Inc.
Please UNCHECK the box for the: Free McAfee® Security Scan Plus.

1. Click the yellow Download now button. If you don't already have Adobe DLM... you may receive a prompt.
   Adobe DLM software removal instructions available here, if wanted.
2. The Adobe installer will check your system and begin the installation process. Use the default installation parameters.
3. When the installation is complete, please Close and re-open your Internet browser.

Adobe Reader XI - recommended (safety) program settings
When the program is open, click on Edit and select Preferences. In the categories below, use these settings:

• Javascript - Uncheck Enable Acrobat Javascript.
• Security (Enhanced) - Uncheck Automatically trust sites from my Win OS security zones.
• Secure Trust Manager- Uncheck Allow opening of non-PDF file attachments with external applications.

Step 2.
OTL - Run Script
You should still have OTL on your desktop.
Important! Close all applications and windows so that you have nothing open and are at your Desktop.

1. Right click on OTL.exe, select "Run As Administrator..." to run it. If prompted by UAC, please allow it.
2. Copy and Paste the following code into the text box.
   (Do not include the words Code: Select all - instead of it please click the Select all button next to Code: to select the entire script.)
   

   
   
   :Commands
   
   [CREATERESTOREPOINT]
   
   
   
   :Commands
   
   [EMPTYTEMP]
   
   [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
   
   

3. Click under the Custom Scan/Fixes box and paste the copied text.
4. Click the Run Fix button. If prompted... click OK.
5. OTL may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.

Step 3.
OTL-Cleanup
You should still have OTL on your desktop.

1. Right click on OTL.exe, select "Run As Administrator..." to run it. If prompted by UAC, please allow it.
2. Press the CleanUp button.

Step 4.
Hide Hidden and System files

2. Press .
3. Click the Start Search box on the Start Menu
4. Copy and paste the following value, in the open text entry box:
   change search options for files and folders
5. Click on the View tab, then under the "Hidden files and folders" section
   
   • UNSELECT "Show hidden files and folders"
   • Place check mark in check box "Hide extensions for known file types"
   • Place check mark in check box "Hide protected operating system files"
6. Press the Apply, then the OK buttons.

Step 5.
Please download delfix and save it to your desktop.

1. Right-click on delfix.exe and select " Run as administrator " to run it.
2. Check the following boxes then click on Run.
   
   1. Activate UAC

The question is what do you think about Herdprotect dot com as an anti malware application.

As this issue appears to be resolved,
