PUP = not a virus/ Possible Unwanted Program
IBryte is some adware crap that will display ads when you browse
also the log say no action taken, so run again and click remove selected
i recomend you also run AdwCleaner to remove any crap files from your browser. run it and click delete
you may post log here
you find it here. http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
Thank you …will do Pondus!
Pondus…I forgot to remove the iBryte from the MBAM
I must rescan MBAM and remove and then do the ADw cleaner again?
only MBAM…update it, run quick scan…if still detected click remove selected
OK new updated MBAM is clean (not attaching)
thank you for your prompt help!
Should I… how do I set my Avast to detect such PUP??
avast is a bit more strickt in its PUP detection… it will for eksempel class many factory installed programs from hp / Dell / Thosiba as PUP because of what they can do…programs that can be good or bad if abused
so when using avast PUP scan you need to know what it is before you remove it, and i Guess that is why it is default off in quick/full scan
i recomend you stay With default avast settings and run a weekly quick scan With avast and Malwarebytes, remeber to update MBAM before you scan as they can have 10 updates released a day
Thank you Pondus
…I did a full Avast scan after removing the iBryte from MBAM
but last night Avast found the iBryte again…is now in virus chest
…this morning I update quick scanned with MBAM again and clean
not sure why it was found again after removing
I originally scanned due to an advertisement was following me around and appearing everywhere I went on the internet,
Is this iBryte a difficult one to remove??
see the guide here… http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=53253.0
scroll Down to OTL…follow instruction and attach (not copy and paste) the diagnostic log
Essexboy wil then have a look and check for any leftover files that need to be removed
Essexboy
Thank you
here are the OTL logs attached
Looks nice and clean, have all the problems gone ?
Thanks Essexboy!
I am thinking that the advertisement that is following me is google related maybe part of their adwords
Am relieved to get your all OK blessing …many thanks as always!

No problem Avast probably found an orphan file ;D
Run OTL and press the cleanup button to remove it and its associated files
