    So... the first time I ran the ESET scan, it found like 23 malicious files, but the program uninstalled itself after use and I was unable to find a log. So I restarted the computer and reran it...

    Once again do the following:

    Scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

    Please open Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, click the Update tab, and click Check for Updates. Then, click the Scanner tab, select Perform Quick Scan, and press Scan. Remove selected, and post the log in your next reply.

    I started getting some BSODs that indicated I needed upgrade my BIOS. I did that and then Windows refused to reboot, even if I flashed back to the original BIOS, or used other restore points. So I reinstalled Windows. I didn't format the drive and then reinstall, so if you think I should rescan the system I'm willing to go ahead and continue to follow your lead.

    If you think I'm good, well, you're the guy with the knowledge. Either way, I dropped a donation into the pot to thank you for your help.

    Thanks for that, it is indeed appreciated. I think that your computer should be fine now. See the following, please:

    If you don't explaining what I was actually doing, I'd love to hear it, but other than that nope. Thank you VERY much.

    We originally disinfected the computer, which made sure that the drivers and other code was totally disinfected. I'm fully confident about the state of your computer. If you have anymore general questions, you can contact me by PM.

    Marked as solved. √
