Vaio Laptop - Possibly Infected [Solved]

bump

Hi Juliet,

Sorry, been away from my 'puter for a couple of days. I re-ran AdwCleaner and here is the log file:

System seems to be running a bit better. Is there anything else I should do

• After extraction please double-click on the new Start Emsisoft Emergency Kit icon on your desktop.
• The first time you launch it, Emsisoft Emergency Kit will recommend that you allow it to download updates. Please click Yes so that it downloads the latest database updates.
• When update is complete, click Malware Scan. When asked if you want the scanner to scan for Potentially Unwanted Programs, click Yes. Emsisoft Emergency Kit will start scanning.
• When the scan is completed click Quarantine selected objects. Note, this option is only available if malicious objects were detected during the scan.
• When the threats have been quarantined, click the View report button in the lower-right corner, and the scan log will be opened in Notepad.
• Please save the log in Notepad on your desktop and post the contents in your next reply.
• When you close Emsisoft Emergency Kit, it will give you an option to sign up for a newsletter. This is optional, and is not necessary for the malware removal process.

No suspicious found:

Good deal

Still running better?

Yes, running better. What's next? Cleanup of the items I downloaded?

thanks
