Hi, I'll try to send in the logs you need tonight if possible. The MBAM is still scanning and I don't know how long it'll take. I might fall asleep. If that happens I'll send the logs tomorrow then. Thanks.

Sounds good.

Hi,
ComboFix
βββ-
Post the new ComboFix log and let me know what remaining problems you are having.
ComboFix
- Please open Notepad (Start -> Run -> type notepad in the Open field -> OK) and copy and paste the text present inside the code box below:
ClearJavaCache::
File::
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Real\Update\UpgradeHelper\RealPlayer\10.40\agent\stub_data\stubinst_pkg_en-ap.cab
C:\Users\user\Downloads\camfrog.exe
C:\Users\user\Downloads\ezvid.exe
C:\Users\user\Downloads\EZVID_Setup.exe
C:\Users\user\Downloads\orbitdownload_setup.exe
- Save this as CFScript.txt and change the "Save as type" to "All Files" and place it on your desktop.
[external image: Posted Image]
- Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before following the steps below. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
- Referring to the screenshot above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe.
- ComboFix may request an update; please allow it.
- ComboFix will now run a scan on your system. It may reboot your system when it finishes. This is normal.
- When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Copy and paste the contents of the log in your next reply.
