Hey guys, I have a problem and don’t know where to turn.
For the past month I have been getting the rogue antivirus program “antivirus soft ( known by MANY MANY other names, as you probabyl know.)” I had a previous incarnation of it, vista antispyware 2010, but now I have this. Whenever it comes, I boot into safe mode, reinstall malwarebytes, update and scan, and it removes it. The next day however it is back. How do I remove it? It seems to be rooted into my system. I am currently in safe mode, I installed avast, and it is scanning. Will report back soon. I can do other things, such as hijackthis, upon request.
Not to be rude, but don’t you think I have already done that? My problem is, it comes back every single day. FOr more clarification, it puts randomly named folders into the appdata folder, and in those folders is a randomly named exe.
Follow this guide from Essexboy and post the log`s here

I suggest you use Hitman Pro - Second Opinion Malware Scanner.
How to start Hitman Pro in Force Breach Mode:
Hold the left Ctrl key while starting up Hitman Pro and it will terminate all non-essential processes.
