Hi
did we delete all those threats found by the ESET scan?
the ones that were not on the "D" drive were in quarantine which means that they were no threat and will go when we clean up.
Good job, it appears that your computer is clean.
Now that you’re free from malware, as long as your computer seems to be running well, please follow these simple steps to tidy up you computer and decrease the likelihood of getting infected again:
Uninstall Combofix
Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix- click START then RUN
- now type Combofix /uninstall in the runbox and click OK.

===================================================
Uninstall OTL- double-click OTL.exe
- click the CleanUp! button.
- select Yes when the Begin cleanup Process? prompt appears.
- if you are prompted to reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
- the tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.
NOTE: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTL attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.
You can delete all other logs and programs we’ve used that are on your desktop. Just click on them and press
Delete.
===================================================
Antivirus
You have no active antivirus on your computer. If you use the Internet without an antivirus your computer will certainly become infected again. It is also imperative that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week, (even more if you wish). If you do not update it, it will not be able to catch any of the new variants of malware that come out on a daily basis.
Do NOT install more than one or they will fight against each other and render both ineffective.
Here are some of the better AV products.
Download and install
one of these free antivirus programs:
Free Avast Home Edition
Avira AntiVir® Personal Edition Classic
Microsoft Security Essentials
===================================================
Windows updates
I notice that Windows updates are waiting to be installed. Click

Update installed programs
You have old versions on your computer which are vulnerable to infections.
Java & Flash- from the Start menu, select Control Panel.

- select Javaâ„¢ 6 Update 31 and Adobe Flash Player then click Uninstall.
Install the latest version of and Adobe Flash Player:
Flash
===================================================
Update and run
Malwarebytes. This really is an excellent program that you should also update and run on a regular basis, probably weekly.
===================================================
It’s important to keep programs up to date so that malware doesn't exploit any old security flaws.
FileHippo Update Checker is an extremely helpful program that will tell you which of your programs need to be updated.
===================================================
MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well known ad sites and other bad sites. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer, meaning it will be difficult to infect yourself in the future.
