Hi I was playing games last nite on my laptop and I had a pop up that I could not remove,I have Norton on my lt and it alerted me I had Trojans....I tried to click to fix but could not get the pop up from the site to close, it kept saying I needed to run and I could not do anything on the screen. In the end I had to take my battery off! I then restarted and run Norton but it never detected anything, I did notice when it was scanning it scanned certain files called Trojan.busky and infostealer.banker.b! Are these spyware or even worse hidding in my computer? I really sont know what to do as I'm not very good with computers...Please can anyone help me and put my mind at rest.

I cant see anything bad as such in the log
But im not convinced Malwarebytes has got rid of it as theres no mention of an actual trojan
Please do a scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner
Note: If you are using Windows Vista, open your browser by right-clicking on its icon and select 'Run as administrator' to perform this scan.
Click on the Accept button and install any components it needs.- The program will install and then begin downloading the latest definition files.
- After the files have been downloaded on the left side of the page in the Scan section select My Computer
- This will start the program and scan your system.
- The scan will take a while, so be patient and let it run.
- Once the scan is complete, click on View scan report
- Now, click on the Save Report as button.
- Save the file to your desktop.
- Copy and paste that information in your next post.
