Hi
I picked up a spyware infection on my PC last week, the main symptoms of which are:
1. PC running slow
2. Unrequested Internet Explorer windows and popups opening up
3. My AV software (Symantec Corporate Edition) picking up various trojans, downloaders etc., which I don't normally get
I've run through all the stages in your preliminary malware/spyware removal instructions. The various anti-spyware applications seemed to pick up a lot of suspicious items, which I've removed.
PC seems to be running quicker now, but I'm still getting some popups, and the AV software is still picking up intermittent attacks.
I've posted the suggested logs with this message. AVG Antirootkit didn't find anything. Does HijackThis indicate that I need to do anything else?
Thanks a lot for your help.
