Hello,
last November I installed and ran the Gov't Malware Program by Amnesty Int. called "Detekt".
It found that my PC was infected, with "Ghost": Unfortunately, this program only finds spyware/malware but does not offer any removal tools. I tried running Avast and CCleaner but they were not able to find anything on my Computer, Detekt would still find "Ghost".
Later in 2014 I installed a new Avira Anti Vir program (instead of Avast whih I used before) plus Malwarebytes Anti Malware. All programs were updated. Neither one of these three programs did find anything at the time (to the end of 2014).
Now today (Jan. 5, 2015) I updated and used Malwarebytes and it found "Babylon.A" (a kind of "Ghost", if I understand right) in the "Unlocker" (1.9.2) program files.It was put into quarantine by MWB.
I will try to do as you describe the process, and first post the log files that MWB put out today. My external Hard Disc Drive was connected during the scans.
Please let me know if my Computer is safe now, and if there are any safety measures to take (like , not using old USB sticks, or the like)
Thank you for your help!
