Alright. You have a rogue antivirus installed. Let's do the following now:

STEP 1

Run OTS

  • Under the Paste Fix Here box on the right, paste in the contents of following code box


Code:
[Unregister Dlls]
[Registry - Safe List]
< BHO's [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE] > -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects\
YN -> {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} [HKLM] -> Reg Error: Key error. [Reg Error: Key error.]
< Run [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\] > -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
YY -> "ParetoLogic Anti-Virus PLUS" -> C:\Program Files\ParetoLogic\Anti-Virus PLUS\Pareto_AV.lnk ["C:\Program Files\ParetoLogic\Anti-Virus PLUS\Pareto_AV.lnk" -NM -hidesplash]
< Internet Explorer Extensions [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE] > -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions\
YY -> {F4430FE8-2638-42e5-B849-800749B94EED}:Exec [HKLM] -> C:\Programs\PartyGaming.Net\PartyPokerNet\RunPF.exe [Button: PartyPoker.net]
YY -> {F4430FE8-2638-42e5-B849-800749B94EED}:Exec [HKLM] -> C:\Programs\PartyGaming.Net\PartyPokerNet\RunPF.exe [Menu: PartyPoker.net]
< ShellExecuteHooks [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE] > -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellExecuteHooks
YN -> "{AEB6717E-7E19-11d0-97EE-00C04FD91972}" [HKLM] -> Reg Error: Key error. []

NY ->  ParetoLogic Update Version2.job -> C:\Windows\tasks\ParetoLogic Update Version2.job
NY ->  Launch Anti-Virus PLUS.lnk -> C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Launch Anti-Virus PLUS.lnk
[Empty Temp Folders]
[Reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  • This will create a log in C:\_OTS\MovedFiles\<date>_<time>.txt where date and time are those of when the fix was run. Open it from there if it does not appear automatically on reboot. Please copy and paste or attach the contents of that file here.


Note: You may receive some errors while running the fix. Just press Ok and the fix should continue normally.
If it seems to get stuck, give it some time. It's probably still working.


STEP 2

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here.

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

  • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Full Scan", then click Scan. Scan all of your harddrives.
  • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
  • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  • Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.


Extra Note:

If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediatly.

STEP 3

Run OTS again and click on the Quick Scan button at the top. Attach the results of this scan in your next reply.

Good job. When you get me the other results make sure to let me know what symptoms you're noticing on the system.

It looks like searches are no longer being redirected and the speed of loading things like email and youtube are much faster, and streaming video on youtube isn't rebuffering every five seconds.

Good Job We're almost done. Let's continue:

STEP 1

Run OTS

  • Under the Paste Fix Here box on the right, paste in the contents of following code box


Code:
[Unregister Dlls]
[Empty Temp Folders]
[ClearAllRestorePoints]
[Reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top
  • Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
  • This will create a log in C:\_OTS\MovedFiles\<date>_<time>.txt where date and time are those of when the fix was run. Open it from there if it does not appear automatically on reboot. Please copy and paste or attach the contents of that file here.


Note: You may receive some errors while running the fix. Just press Ok and the fix should continue normally.
If it seems to get stuck, give it some time. It's probably still working.


STEP 2

I want to run an online scan. This will take quite a while but it's well worth it as it can often find things all other scanners will miss.

Before we do, I need you to update Internet Explorer to IE8. Even if you don't use it, we need to have it updated as its components are deeply connected with Windows itself.

Please go here to download the installer:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/


STEP 3

The online scanner uses Java, so I will need you to download and install the latest version for that.

Please go here to download the installer:

http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp

Reboot your machine when that's done.


STEP 4

Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, visit Kaspersky Online Scanner

1. Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.



2. To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:
  • Close any open programs
  • Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan. Click HERE to see how to disable the most common antivirus programs.

3. Click Run at the Security prompt.


The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database.


Please be patient as this can take quite a long time to download.
  • Once the update is complete, click on Settings.
  • Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
    • Spyware, adware, dialers, and other riskware
    • Archives
    • E-mail databases

  • Click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
  • Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
  • Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
  • Click View report... at the bottom.
  • Click the Save report... button.

  • Change the Files of type dropdown box to Text file (.txt) and name the file KasReport.txt to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply

Alright. Take your time with that one. I've seen it take up to 10 hours one time but it normally takes between 1 and 5 hours
