I haven’t noticed any changes with my computer so far except that avast keep notifying me that the virus is being blocked and moved to the chest.

Thanks in advance.

Added aswMBR log.

Notes:

  1. Do not mouse-click Combofix’s window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
  2. Do not “re-run” Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
  3. If after the reboot you get errors about programmes being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.

Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now
