Hi,
I am following the ‘logs to assist in cleaning malware’. I have tried numerous times to remove edeals and its associated pop ups from my browsers, but to no avail. I use google chrome but uninstalled it today to see if anything would happen, but edeals still is on my computer, and is even more agressive on IE. attached are the logs to a scan run with MBAM.
Attach your basic logs. (MBAM, FRST and aswMBR…!!)
Instructions: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
sorry, attached should be all the required logs.
Could you let me know what problems remain after this

If all is well tomorrow let me know and I will tidy up

Subject to no further problems 
I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

: Keep Java Updated :
WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)
If you do need to keep Java then download JavaRa
Run the programme and select Remove Java Runtime. Uninstall all versions of Java present
Once done then run it again and select Update Java runtime > Download and install Latest version
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73555776/javara.JPG
Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:
CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

Click Open folder
Right click on the Unchecky_setup and choose to Run as Administrator
Once open click the Install button.
