Damn bro. You have quite the adware city there.

Hi,

AVAST scan showed a rootkit and removed it.
Can you post the screenshot of what avast! has been flag as rootkit? I would like to see that ...

The host changes are legit, they are created by Spybot S&D.

I do not see any real malware, only PUP leftovers. Same goes for RogueKiller, only PUP. We need to hunt the leftovers …

First from Control Panel > Programs and Features try to find and uninstall the following if you may.

YTDownloader
Shopper Pro (Goobzo Ltd is the company)
Optimizer Pro

If something can’t be uninstalled, skip it and go to the next one/step …

THEN …

Re-run OTL.exe.
