  • Can I please Hijack some assistance.

    had the Trojan Winpc, I've run the Malwarebytes (and it all seems to have gone), the LSP and then the Hijack. Here is the Hijack log, i've taken the lins bit out because I'm a new user and MSE won't let me post the links.

    am I now safe? Do I need to do anything else?

    Thanks for the help so far.

    not correct as it goes...for a novice Formatting then sourcing the drivers can be a nightmare

    Malwarebytes and then combofix will clean up 99% of these infections in 40 minutes

    Another good free antispyware is SuperAntiSpyware, which used in conjunction with Malware Bytes should help.

    http://www.superantispyware.com/

    WinPc Antivirus is a really annoying fake security program. There are plenty of sites with info on how to manually remove this pest, if you feel up to it.

    There were some pretty dodgy files still running. Id hazard a guess you either havnt UPDATED malwarebytes and/or run a FULL scan with it. I really need to see the log.

    Was I talking about a singular virus or a whole glamut of them when I said that?
    And as browntoa has said, it can be a complete nightmare for a novice to work through

    If you wish to walk anyone through the process then by all means do so.
