Hi Gonzaba,
Ok let’s do a little clean up and remove the tools and send you on your way.
Your java is out of date. Click your start button > Control Panel
[*]Use the drop down menu beside view by and change it to small icons
[*]locate java (32bit) in the list and click on it
[*]when the java console opens click the update tab
[*]Click update now
There should also be java (64bit), open it and please repeat the above steps to update it.
Next, Right click on OTL.exe and chose Run as Administrator to run it
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
[*]Do Not copy the word CODE

Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered
From your desktop, please delete, if present
[]any notepads/logs that we created
[]TDSSKiller
[]RogueKiller.exe
[]aswMBR.exe
Next
Click the Start button, click Run. [Vista and Win7 users, go Start>“Start search”] Copy and paste the following line into the run box and click OK
“%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe” /uninstall
(don’t miss the " mark at the begining)
Next
Open OTL then click the Clean Up button. You may get prompted by your firewall that OTL wants to contact the internet - allow this. A cleanup.txt will be downloaded, a message dialog will ask you if you want to proceed with the cleanup process, click Yes. This will do some clean up tasks and delete some of the tools you have downloaded plus itself.
I suggest you keep MBAM. Keep it updated and use it regularly.
Some Recommendations and prevention tips
Basic security consists of 1 antivirus program, 1 resident antispyware program, 1 on demand antispyware program and a firewall. Add a firewall to what you have.
- If you are behind a router Windows firewall should be fine. Otherwise a 3rd party firewall with outbound monitoring is recommended.
Click FIREWALL for links and tutorials to good, free and paid for firewalls. (Note: Zone Alarm is becoming bloatware)
You should also use Spyware Blaster to help immunize your computer.
- SpywareBlaster will add a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer
settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.
