Just for the hell of it, I ran it again..
After the last one, I deleted 16 nasties. After I just ran it immediately, it found 2 more.. where are these coming from????
I do have a question. I opened up Trend Micro and the quarantine is loaded with 1,095 nasties. In the Trojan quarantine there are MANY versions of
TROJ_SIREFEF - UV,UT,UP, GF ,FU ,CZJ - good heavens!! Is it OK to delete them from there?

Hi,
Go ahead and run Malwarebytes again, delete those items and post a fresh log.
As for the items in Trend Micro go ahead and leave those alone for now.
Good Morning!
Ran another malawarebytes:

So where does this carp** come from? How do those adwares get into my system??
Now what?

Are you or anyone using the computer on gaming sites at all?
Good Morning!
No - I am the only user on my lap top, and I do not like games. I do not play them at all.
Maybe Trend Micro is not the best anti virus software to have…..my husband has Kaspersky on his tower. Or maybe I need to upgrade to a better version of Trend. what do ya recommend?
Hi,
Ok…when you get back I will have more instructions for you…I am going to figure this out so we can nip this one.
As for antivirus programs….I usually only recommend Avast (what I use) and Microsoft Security Essentials. If you would like to try either of those when we are done I can get you the links.
Hi,
Go ahead and run a Full Scan with Malwarebytes and when complete delete anything found. Then run a Quick Scan as well.
Post the logs that are made to your next reply.

Good Morning Jeff!
We had a staff meeting last night, so didn't get home till 9:30pm - Trend Micro is set to do a full scan every night at 9:45pm - so I let it run. I get up this morning and this is the screen I seen. thought I'd attach it. I will run the malawarebytes this weekend. Friday's are just too busy here.
Hi,
I think that Trend Micro is picking up some of the quarantined files that are still on your system.
Whenever you get the Malwarebytes scan completed just go ahead and post that. There is no hurry, but if you need more time please let me know.
Good Morning Jeff! Happy Friday!
I certainly hope so! I feel so violated anymore!!!
we are not riding this weekend, or he hasn't told me yet!!!! I should be able to do this this weekend. No problem!
cya soon!

so far things seem to "normal" - no more pop up boxes from Trend about trojans, etc. But where do these game adwares come from? How can these and others be better blocked?
