Trouble removing rootkit

Viruses and worms
1

Hi all

Like a few people on the forum I am having difficulty removing a rootkit that was detected by Avast.

I have run MBAM and also OTS and attached the logs.

Any assistance would be appreciated as I’ve exhausted my (limited) abilities in this area.

Cheers

Matt

I ran the aswMBR scan again, hit “fix” and rebooted.

It looks like its done the trick but ive attached the post reboot scan log just in case.
