Or at C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt

Post new HJT log.

[AustinKU]

everything is working good. i already had MBAM, the problem was that I couldn't update any of the anti viruses of the malware tools. I was un aware that there were 2 site mirrors to update MBAM and the second one was successful. These DNS Changers are particularly nasty.

[cohen]

Can you pls post the MBA-M log as well as a HJT log, as there still could be a problem there!

Thanks,

Cohen

Can you please do the following.

===============

Scan with HijackThis and then place a check next to all the following, if present:

O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINNT\web\related.htm
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINNT\web\related.htm

Now, close all instances of Internet Explorer and any other windows you have open except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

After rebooting, rescan with hijackthis and post back a new log. Please let me know how your pc is now.
