HELP! Windows32:installer-M in virus chest, but still infected

Viruses and worms

HELP!!! I don’t know what to do, I ran avast! and it put 6 files labeled Windows32:installer-M, but it’s still in my browsers… firefox and chrome. When I click on things another window opens another tab.

I tried uninstalling firefox and reinstalling, but it’s still infected.

I have Windows 8. Do I have to do a complete delete of my hard drive and reinstall everything in order to get rid of this??? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!
Laura

Follow this guide and attach the logs from OTL, Malwarebytes and ADWCleaner: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0

No need to reinstall.

Please make the link not clickable, it leads to some malicious website with a fake Chrome and Flash Update.

3

I went to edit my post so the link wasn’t clickable, but it didn’t work. Should I just delete it?

4

Just delete the link then.

5

There were 199 infected from the Malware scan. Here are the files from OTL…

6

Can you attach the Malwarebytes Log Text file if possible?

You can find it under History>Application Logs.

7

Here’s the one from Malwareytes.

After I got all this, I hooked up an external hard drive to back up my pictures and docs. Do you think I should also scan it?

8

Thats not really needed for this, only PUP Junk.

I can recommend you Unchecky: unchecky.com

But i can recommend to do a backup of important data or the full system every 2 weeks or so in case
something is wrong.

9

What did you happen to find out looking at those logs? (thanks again for all your help!!!)
