Every time i try to download something on the internet it will start the download but before its finished it says "failed-virus scan failed", also, when i have a window open, it changes and opens a new tab with something completely different in it. help is very much appreciated. thank you.
Lets see whats going on. Please do not run any malware tools on your own, it will just make things more complicated. All the tools and scanners we use run more efficiently from the desktop so follow the instructions please. Also, all the logs we ask for from the programs we may run will open in Notepad, I prefer if you will just copy and paste the logs into this thread in lieu of attaching them.
[external image: 1QYkxTZ.jpg] Please download aswMBR to your desktop.
Right click the aswMBR icon and select Run as Administrator
XP users just Double Click it to run
If it says that this computer supports VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGY do you want to use it say Yes
Click the Scan button to start scan.
Select Quickscan on the dropdown list
If you are asked to update the Avast Virus database please allow it to do so.
The scan could take 20 minutes or more , please be patient and let it finish
It will say Scan Finished when its done.
When it finishes, press the save log button, save the logfile to your desktop and post its contents in your next reply.
I just want to see the report….Please Do Not Fix Anything
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your DESKTOP
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Just keep the defaults as in the picture checkmarked
Press Scan button.
It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
Please copy and paste log back here.
The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.
