Hi Argus, thanks for your reply.
In the meantime, I have run malwarebytes antirootkit as recommended at http://malwaretips.com/threads/browser-reset-does-not-remove-speedchecker.38732/
I don't know if it was a good idea, it found two infections that I cleaned up. No new ads coming up at the moment...
I join the two logs, you may want look at them.
So the tools that I have now installed are Malwarebytes Antimalware, Malwarebytes Antirootkit, HitmanPro, Spyhunter 4, and the McAffe antivirus. I may need to remove some of this I think....
I go on with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool.

Yes indeed, this has been really helpful. The tools mentioned in the thread I told you about seem to have become old...I don't know..
I will report if something wrong appears again.

Thanks a million!

FRST.gif
Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

  • Right-click on
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    Run as Administrator to start the tool.
    (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
  • Press the Fix button just once and wait.
  • If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  • When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.
  • Run the tool by right click on the
    51a5ce45263de-delfix.png
    icon and Run as administrator option.
  • Make sure that these ones are checked:
    • Remove disinfection tools
    • Purge system restore
    • Reset system settings
  • Push Run and wait until the tool completes his work.
  • All tools we used should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)
The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.
