I tried to install Nero 8 and my NOD32 found this file WIN32/toolbar.asksbar.
At first I tried to delete but for some reason it said it was unable to, so I tried to clean it and it was the same thing. So I left it but now I am afraid my PC may be infected. I ran scans with XoftSpySE, NOD32, and VundoFix, I also searched for asksbar and toolbar.exe, and nothing was found for everything. VundoFix didn't found anything. Is everything fine or should I do some other scans, please help.

I forgot to post the log from Hijackthis.
Here it is.

Yes.

Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser

Then

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

  • Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
  • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
  • Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot (shut down your computer then restart it).
