    Please open malwarebytes, goto LOGS and post the WHOLE of the log that was created

    reboot

    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    Click DO A SCAN AND SAVE A LOGFILE (Takes seconds) then post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else with Hijack but scan and post the FULL log)
    :idea:

    To start with just run MalwareBytes. Make sure it updates after install, run a full scan, fix what it finds and then post the log here.
    After that reboot and use HijackThis - run it, but don't fix anything, just post the log here.
  • ok gonna post log now
