I'm currently running Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. I have basic computer skills and can follow directions as required. I'm new to forums and I'm not sure if my system needs further help.
A few months ago, when running MSE alone, a root-kit (ID by Microsoft) was transferred to my system. TDSS Killer was used to remove it. Over the past few months my system has run well and without notable issues.
Post root-kit removal I ran full scans using MRT.exe (nothing found), Spybot (now off my system), Malwarebytes, RogueKiller V10.0.3.0 (x64) and FRST64 scans. RogueKiller identified 14 PUM registry remarks and FRST64 found an EXE Association (whitelisted) "HKU\S-1-5-21-...-...-...-...\Software\Classes\.exe: => <===== ATTENTION!" The "..." specifics reside in the attached Addition.txt file. This same file identifies a series of application, system and Microsoft Office sessions errors. Help in fixing any of these issues and/or recommendations on further follow-up (if needed) would be greatly appreciated.
Most likely unrelated to the above:
Once in a while I run Linux on an external drive that is attached to the system. I also occasionally notice the INT and ETH lights on DSL modem/router blinking as though someone else is using it even when my system is tuned off, sleeping, or in static use. At these times my WIFI light does not blink.
Thanks in advance for your help.
