After I followed your instructions (and got the log files), the pop-up from Avast stoped but I don’t know if this is enougth.
So, I’ll be thankfull if you could have a look at the log files and help me further. If I have understood correctly, there is specific fix for every machine.
Also MBAM found some threats but I have delete them yet (they have been quarantined). Should I delete them “immediately” ?
Please go to START (Windows Orb) >> Control Panel >> Uninstall a Program or Programs and Features and remove the following (if listed):
Freemake Video Downloader
Freemake YouTube To MP3 Boom
To do so, left clicking on the name once and then click Uninstall/Change at the bar above the list window.
Follow the prompts of the uninstaller BUT please read carefully any questions it asks before answering; some uninstallers will try and deceive you into keeping the software.
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, called Fixlog.txt.
Please attach it to your reply.

Download MCShield to your desktop and install
It will initially run a scan and show the result as a toaster by the system clock
Then in the control centre select scanner and tick unhide items on flash drives
We are not sure where this comes from; your system had two different infections. One could have brought the other … One more item to delete please …
Open notepad by pressing the Windows Key + R Key, typing in Notepad in the Run dialog and then pressing Enter. Please copy the contents of the Code box below. To do this highlight the contents of the box by clicking [Select] next to Code: , then right click on any of the highlighted text and select copy. Paste this into the open notepad. Save it to your desktop as fixlist.txt
NOTE. It’s important that both files, 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 FRST64 by right clicking on the FRST64.exe file, selecting “Run as Administrator…”. The User Account Control may open up; if it does, select Yes to continue to let FRST open and load.
The tool will check for an updated version of itself every time it loads; please allow it to do this and the program will either inform you it is downloading an updated copy (and to wait until it is safe to continue) or show nothing (meaning there is no update found) and you can continue on. Press the Fix button just once and wait. The tool will create a restore point, process the script and ask for a restart of your system.
Formatting ?
Doesn’t make much sense to me to first clean it and than format it.
But I do suggest that if the system is clean and working fine to create a image of the drive(s) and ofcourse backup the data on a regular base.
Once the System Restore issue has been looked at, unless you have any other issues ....
Clean up of Malware Removal Tools
Now that we are through using these tools, let’s clean them off your system so that should you ever need to have malware removed again (we hope not) fresh, updated copies will be downloaded.
[]Download Delfix from here to your desktop and double click it to start the program
[*]Ensure Remove disinfection tools is ticked Also tick:
[]Activate UAC
[]Create registry backup
[]Purge system restore
[*]Reset system settings
[*]Click Run
[*]The program will run for a few moments and then notepad will open with a log. Note: Please save this log first before rebooting your system (if asked to); DelFix does not save the log as it is trying to remove all traces of our work on your system. Please attach the log in your next reply.
You can delete any log files left on your desktop as these are no longer needed.
Entirely up to you; all DelFix would have done was change the System Settings back to default secure settings (things like the File / Folder view settings, etc.).
