holy cow what a mess
I PURCHASED SpyDoctor because all the anti-whatever "free" applications I had didn't catch the infections that SpyDoctor did (even with recent updates). Can't clean what isn't found, right? (that included malwarebytes). I purchased it via another PC that is clean and not the infected one.
I ran it, so far no more pop-ups, no more security alert warnings. Looks GOOD!! IE 7 and mozilla are both working well and no more "not found" websites on sites that I know are good (for example, mail.yahoo.com).
Also, AVG anti-virus was finding all those same viruses again but this time in the system restore saved files. I didn't know it was active. So I went and turned it off which I THINK deletes all the previous restore points. Just in case though, I'm running a full antivirus scan again.
Once that's done I will reboot, run all scans one last time, reboot again and THEN turn back on the system restore.
should I then run another HJT scan for your review??? Do you want any other logs to view? Reply and I'll attach whatever you want.
THANKS SO MUCH for all your help (everyone who's replied).
