    Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.40
    Database version: 2560

    Your version of malwarebytes is WAAAY out of date
    UPDATE malwarebytes (At least twice, until it says your up to date) and rescan

    If it wont update then you need to uninstall it and follow my instructions from the top

    Fine

    And the hijack log?
    (Press the SHIFT key, and whilst holding it RIGHT CLICK and select RUN AS (admin) on the hijack.exe file)
    :idea:
  • AVAST also showed up with no threats, will have a go tonight with the hijack thingy, where will I find it?
  • frankie,
    Just passing to say good luck.I am smiling because you are about as computer literate as me...we all have to start somewhere.

    Sounds to me like it either wasnt the AVG website, or you simply clicked on the version that wasnt free

    Either way, please follow the instructions in post #5
    Hi, As you know I had AVG, and AVG did ask if I wanted 2011 free version., which I did, and it does ask for license for free version., just clicked ok on free version.Ran it for months until I changed to Avast, I had no probs with AVG 2011 free version,But I was persuaded to change, and that,s what I did.Happy with Avira, after couple false positives which you sorted for me.
  • Having installed AVAST and doing all the above, I have just started having further problems. An error came up with my google chrome, and then some emails have been sent from my aol account again. Seems as though I havent unistalled avg, although having tried several times and rebooting it comes up with an error message,saying something like not enough priviliges to continue. I have also uninstalled avast, and basically have no protection other than windows defender, malwarebytes. Please can someone talk me through what to do, as I clearly havent done anything right.

    Run AVG removal tool

    AVG Remover(32bit) 2011
    (avg_remover_stf_x86_2011_1149.exe)


    Then
    Download HIJACK THIS
    http://download.cnet.com/3001-8022_4...3e66c4b678a8f6
    (It auto downloads, do NOT click to download anything off the page)
    Click MAIN MENU then DO A SYSTEM 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)
    If you get a message that you cant write to the hosts file then Press the SHIFT key, and whilst holding it RIGHT CLICK and select RUN AS (admin)
