Hi Juliet,

Thank you for your reply.

I ran a scan with FRST and the log is attached.

 

With regard to MBAR, I had this already on my computer. But I downloaded and ran the rootkit - the message that came up was No Cleanup required. I could not find a log for this.

 

Then I ran MBAR, and the log for this is attached.

 

Thank you once again,

Aj
