I run a key gen programme eventhough I knew I shouldn’t have but I was quite desperate and what is done is done I am afraid. So as a result I got a nice MyBrowser appearing and a few programmes trying to be installed on my laptop. I used Malwarebytes and Avast scan and fix at start up and windows protection seemes to have quarantined the virus threat. Nonetheless I cannot uninstall Mybrowser. Any help would be welcomed. Still unsure whether my laptop is hacked or if more attempts will be made in the future.
Attach your basic diagnostic logs. (MBAM, FRST and aswMBR)
Instructions: https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
All attachments as requested. Please note that my MBAM scan log is dated 27/8/2015. Eventhough I run the programme twice it did not produce a new scan log
OK, now you’ve to wait a bit…
no problem
Let me know what problems remain after this ![]()

Remove tools

: 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
