    Yes you will need to click "remove selected" as you will be still infected if you don't.

    Re-run Malwarebytes on full scan and remove all items found and then post the log file in your next message.
  • just to add- update definitions prior to rerunning full scan!
  • ok scan results are:

    Also ive had no pop-ups, the desktop symbol has disappeared, and its gone from the program files...looking better yes?
  • That's very strange that the malware aren't showing up especially with the first log showing no action taken.

    Check under quarantine and see if anything is in there? Should not be there according to first log but...
    If not there, update definitions and rerun the scan and hopefully it will be found.

    Is the above post the 2nd or 3rd scan?
  • hello, yes the above was the 2nd scan after reboot and update, ive just updated and run a 3rd scan and the results are:
