Hiya,
Basically, a few hours ago - it was brought to my attention that I had a potential trojan lurking on my PC. I was talking to my friend in a Skype call when my UAC informed me that Adobe Flash Player needed an update. I was skeptical about this because the publisher listed was not Adobe Systems Incorporated, it was unknown/unverified. When I selected ‘No’, the UAC window refused to disappear. It would keep popping up aggressively, expecting me to run the exe. I got a little panicky and restarted my PC before scanning everything with Malwarebytes.
It found and quarantined a trojan, and this is what it was from the logs:

I was scared so I relayed this info to my friend and he advised me to get Avast because I’ve mostly been relying on MSE/Malwarebytes and haven’t had too many problems. I did this and scanned again, and was greeted with another Trojan called BV:Agent-ANZ. I scanned and quarantined that, and allowed Avast to do the boot scan thing as well. Nothing untoward was picked up, as far as I’m aware.
Now, I was jittery for a couple of hours after this but managed to calm down after I scanned my system several times and nothing dodgy appeared. I was just about to head to bed but I decided to check one last time before hopping off and was greeted with another threat?

I’m not sure what’s going on. My friend said that I may have to reformat my PC/reinstall Windows, and I’m a little stressed about that because I do not have the Windows disc on me. I don’t know how I managed to pick up these trojans, or if they’ve been latent for a while and have only decided to start being a pain now. I’m worried that this may’ve been a keylogger because I was having issues with my keyboard being slow/unresponsive when inputting text. Silly me thought that it may’ve just been the fact that his keyboard is wireless and I’d actually damaged the dongle so I just assumed it was faulty hardware. However, since I’ve scanned my system and quarantined the buggers, I haven’t had any issues so I’m guessing it was related to this trojan.
One thing that I’m thinking may be the root of the issue is that I did visit a website that I trusted earlier yesterday. I have AdBlock installed and NoScript but I was still seeing porny/dodgy ads on the site. Upon checking the URL of the site using AdBlock, I found that the actual site was hosting the ads from its own servers to probably circumvent the filters AdBlock has in place. I’m finding this really suspicious so I’m wondering if this is related.
Please help, I’m not sure what to do. I’ve never had a trojan before (as far as I’m aware) so I’m really anxious and probably won’t get any sleep until I can hopefully get this resolved/know what course of action needs to take place. If you need more info, I will be glad to provide it.
