"O10 - Unknown file in Winsock LSP" ~ the fact theres loads of these points to a definite infection
LSPFIX and HOSTS EXPERT should (Hopefully) rectify that
SAS is to attempt to find what the source of the problem is (for starters):idea:0 -

Have done everything you said. And yes I did reboot as malwarebytes instructed.
Bullguard came pre-installed on the computer the shop claimed it was the best one available....I had my doubts though, any salesperson would say theirs is the best!
What do you recommend I have instead of Bullguard ..... McAfee or Norton maybe ??:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Seriously tho what is a good thing to have?
Reading the SAS log I can see my kids names appear rather alot....Can you tell which websites I should be telling them to avoid?Banana LoversBuy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday.

mcafee is worse than useless, nortons not much better either.
kaspersky is the best paid for suite around, or if you want free security, avira antivir and either pctools firewall or the comodo firewall are the best ones to go for.0 -
I completely agree with gaming guy
As for the sites. SPYBOTS IMMUNISE feature will auto prevent some of them ~
Download SPYBOT (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION' ~ make sure TEA TIMER is UNTICKED on installation)
http://www.filehippo.com/download_spybot_search_destroy/
UPDATE and IMMUNISE (Make sure it reads ZERO unprotected) and SCAN
And the safest way to browse is to use FIREFOX with the NOSCRIPT plug in ~
Download FIREFOX
http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/
NOSCRIPT
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
NOSCRIPT works by blocking ALL website scripts (Which is how dodgy websites infect your computer ~ the easiest way to catch a virus after downloading). So you need to UNLOCK all websites you use for them to work properly (Like this one for example)
It also prevents 'page hijacking' (clicking to goto a BANK page for example and being redirected to a BOGUS page which would give scammers your login details!)
I personally set it so that it DOESNT show messages about blocked scripts. Then all you need to do is use common sense. Think to yourself 'does the site work ok'? If so it doesnt need touching. But if you wanted to watch a video on youtube say, youd need to unlock parts of it. Look bottom right, If theres ANY red on the 'S' symbol, then something is being blocked.
(You will also need the other addons like FLASH etc)
