Hello, so a little while ago my pc was infected by a trojan and it blocked avast and malwarebytes but I managed to delete it with avg.
After I had deleted it, I installed avast again but I still got the same error. I scanned my pc many times with AVG but it couldn’t find anything. I also tried to scan with Esset smart security 7 but it didn’t find anything either.
So now I installed avast again but I still get the same error and I can’t fix it.
Could somebody help me with this?
Thanks

Let’s check your system on malware.
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (

) by Farbar and save it to your desktop.
Note: You need to run the version compatibale with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them.
Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
[*]Double-click to run it. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
[*]Under Optional Scan ensure “Driver MD5” are ticked.

and GMER
Hi Turpal,
Please do not be alarm by Gmer’s ‘RootKit’ flags as detections are avast! related. However, I am not fully satisfied by looking GMER log. Simply this requires additional ARK check.
FRST tools shows the active malware presence as well as configuration settings made by the malware. We shall use FRSTScript to kill the malware.
Afterwards, we shall deploy two powerful tool, one known as MBAR and other known as ComboFix.
Download attached FixList.txt file and save it to the Desktop.
NOTE. It’s important that both files, FRST/FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.
NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system
Run FRST/FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.
If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please post it to your reply.
