Hit by JS/downloader trojan and hijacker

AVG noticed the hits and put it in a log but didn't see it myself until I looked around. Did what I could to clean up the trojan downloader and hijacker but it has affected my system and wont allow me to do updates to windows or any of the effective antivirus softwares...McAfee, Windows Defender, AVG, Spyware Doctor.... The symptoms that I first noticed was that Myspace page was replicating instead of closing and started getting "goole.ws" popups even though my popup blocker was engaged. An example of it hxxp://mtn5.goole.ws/ac.php?bannerid=6& ... out=0&ct0=

Any ideas how to be able to download my updates again?

   (Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

If you can do those few things, everything should go smoothly

Please ensure that any USB/Flash/External drives are connected whilst we are cleaning your machine.

Please Note, your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use.

I apologize for the delay in responding, but as you can probably see the forums are quite busy.
Unfortunately there are far more people needing help than there are helpers.

If you still require help please do the following

Thank you for agreeing to help me with this issue. I greatly appreciate it.

Information

Please can you copy/paste the logs into your reply.
This is primarily a teaching forum and it is easier for the students if they can see the logs.

There is evidence of several Antivirus programs in your log, which one do you use ?
Microsoft Windows OneCare Live
avast
Symantec
McAfee

You should know that you're actually doing more harm than good by running more than one Anti Virus program.
When you do this the programs compete for resources, and the end result is none does it's best and can cause system instability.
I recommend that you choose one that you want to keep.
The other/s I would either uninstall, or disable from startup and use as "on demand" for an occasional scan.
----------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------

Step 1


Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

• Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When completed, a log will open in Notepad. please copy and paste the log into your next reply
  
  • If you accidently close it, the log file is saved here and will be named like this:
  • C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\mbam-log-date (time).txt

----------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
Step 2
