My computer has been getting numerous alerts over the past few days and I have no idea how to fix this…
There appears to be 2 types of malwares (shown in the tittle) plaguing my computer
Could someone point me around and show me what needs to be done in order to clean this mess?
Thanks!

============================================
How’s your computer running now?
Hmmm,
I haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary on my computer ever since starting this procedure so… I suppose thats a good sign?
Here are the loggs:
It is necessary to uninstall ComboFix :
[*] Click Start (or
http://amf.mycity.rs/pg/images/VistaStartButton.png
) then Run.
On Windows7 or Vista you may use Start Search field if Run is not available.
[*] In the line of text type in (Copy) the following:
ComboFix /Uninstall
Note that there is a space between " ComboFix " and " /Uninstall " .
[*] then click OK (or press Enter ).
Wait for the uninstall process is complete.
----- Next -----
Please download DelFix by “Xplode” to your Desktop.
Run the tool and check the following boxes below;
[] Remove disinfection tools
[] Create registry backup
[*] Purge System Restore
Now click on “Run” button. Wait for the programme completes his work.
All the tools we used should be gone.
Tool will create and open an log report (DelFix.txt)
Note: The report will also be stored on C:\DelFix.txt
I don’t need DelFix log report.
----- Advice -----
I recommended to use MCShield if you will.
You may download MCShield from one of the following links:
MyCity - Official download link
Softpedija - Mirror download link
It will prevent infection by computer via USB flash drive, mobile phone or any other memory card.
And not only will prevent infection, but it will immediately clean flash drive, memory card or external HDD.
Be safe
Well, what can I say?
You’ve done a wonderful job and I’m darn pleased with the customer service
You’re the man of the week for me! lol
Thanks
This is not the customer service, this is the user forum.
And the malware removers here are volunteers and not associated with Avast.
Oh shit!
That makes it even better O_o
I was completely sure it was your job
thanks even more O_O
