Summary and next steps (short, practical)

This looks like a typical adware/trojan cleanup in progress: ran ComboFix and posted logs, and has been guiding removal. The most useful outstanding step is to confirm the nature of any remaining suspicious binaries with multi‑engine scanners, then remove leftover autorun/startup entries and perform deep scans before assuming the system is clean.

Concrete next actions

  1. Submit the suspect files that @crunchie asked about to at least two multi‑engine online scanners (as previously suggested) and paste the results here. Those reports are the quickest way to know whether remnants are active malware or false positives.
  2. Download and run Autoruns (Microsoft Sysinternals) to find leftover startup items and BHOs. Export/save the current Autoruns list first, then uncheck/delete entries that match the items you or helpers marked as malicious. Download link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

Deep cleaning and verification

  • Boot into Safe Mode (or Safe Mode with Networking if necessary), disable System Restore, run an updated antivirus full scan and run an on‑demand antimalware scanner such as Malwarebytes (https://www.malwarebytes.com/) to catch PUPs/tertiary malware. Reboot and re‑scan.
  • Run a dedicated rootkit scanner if anything still looks suspicious. If removal requires manual registry/startup edits, export keys/entries beforehand so changes can be reversed if needed.

Safety and recovery advice

  • Do not use that PC for banking or any sensitive logins until the machine is proven clean; change passwords only from a known‑clean device.
  • If logs/scans are ambiguous or removal is incomplete, back up personal data (scan backups with a clean machine) and consider a full OS reinstall — that is the only guaranteed way to remove deeply hidden compromises.
  • Post the multi‑engine scan reports and a fresh HijackThis/Autoruns snapshot so or others can review the results.

Right click on hijackthis, select rename and change it to analysethis. Hit the Enter button when done.

1. Download this file from one of the following links :


2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply, along with a new hijackthis log.

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

Combo fix log: (if it matters...this was not the first time i did this....i downloaded combo fix yesterday and ran it and it actually appears to have solved the popups...just want to make sure Im clean so here's the logs:

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

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure you are able to view system and hidden files/ folders:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\YSTEM3~1
C:\Program Files\PartyGaming
C:\Program Files\Common Files\??stem32

files...

C:\WINDOWS\system32\bkinmxss.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\artchker.exe

-

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in Safe Mode by doing the following:

  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear.

Select the first option to run Windows in Safe Mode hit enter.
