It's still found 1 thing:
which MBAM will delete on reboot, so you do need to reboot, and I would run the quick scan again and make sure it finds nothing.C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msimg32.dll (Adware.MyWebSearch) -> Delete on reboot.
The other stuff is just being cleared out of your system restore points.
There are another couple of programs that could be run, but I would be interested if anyone else thinks it's needed.0 -
Is it safe to do my banking etc online again? I use the laptop for all shopping etc and I am worried now that it would not be safe to do so. Thankyou so much for your help I cannot beleive how quickly I am able to use it again. Jacqui
It's only safe if you have - at the very least - a first-line form of defense in your armory. And it's only safe if your machine is 'clean' :cool:. Ensue that your anti -virus/-malware definitions are up-to-date; ensure you have a decent firewall and that it's turned on; periodically run a check on your machine with malwarebytes; ensure your router's firewall is on. What's your existing anti -virus/-malware solution?

Hi there, I am currently using avast and the firewall is on. Is there anything else I need to use?0

Any anti-malware protection? Windows Defender or Spybot or Spyware Blaster - I use all three. Using IE:eek: Dump it and install the exceptional Firefox with the safety catch of NoScript.Hi there, I am currently using avast and the firewall is on. Is there anything else I need to use?0 -

Better? I absolutely abhor IE's interface, and if that wasn't bad enough...
