I read your post and you were turning off your web shield, which puts you at risk. You were surfing without protection. I realize you ran MBAM (which is not an AV), but where did Geekbuddy come from?

I’m just trying to give you suggestions to check for malware, which you should if you do not recognize Geekbuddy and since you were surfing without AV protection, and to reinstall AV protection since it sounds like you had corrupt files.
