follow this guide an post the logs

( post the logs here and not in the guide )

To avoid using multiple post with copy and paste you have to attach the log`s
Lower left corner: Additional Options > Attach ( malwarebytes log / OTS log ) save OTS log as ANSI

Essexboy will look at the logs when posted

that would help but the problem is that neither AVAST nor Malwarebytes could NOT find this virus and this has jeopardized my work and i have been told by many computer technicians that this is a virus that creates a back door and i need it fix because command prompt has been disabled and i am no allowed to enable it to get the work off and if i send it, it wont pick up the virus i have tried already and so far i cannot find a solution and i cannot get AVAST or Malwarebytes to make a log

That is why you should run OTS and post the log
