JavaCritical Virus: Still here after following your steps

[CaliDad]

I saw the javacritical popup and realized it was a virus right away. It downloads an update to my system. I deleted it.
To remove it: I followed all your steps (ADW, malwarebytes, hitman, etc) and they don't find anything.
Next step: I then followed a thread on this site about someone in a similar situation and the Clint Eastwood support guy recommended the zoek program. I just ran that and got my notepad file. Now what? Can you help?

essentials means MSE?

 

[CaliDad]

yes, that's right.

If you haven't already, open a topic here. @TwinHeadedEagle can surely help you.

That's the guy I was following.

That's the guy I was following.

Then just keep following his instructions. You said he asked you to run zoek. Read his latest post to see what you should do with it.

Right that's logical but that person got different results from the test than I did so he is telling them to do something and that might not be right for me.

As I've said before, open a new topic. Every case is unique and you shouldn't run tools (especially powerful ones, like ComboFix) nor any sort of scripts unless you are told to, specifically. So just open a new topic in the Malware Removal Forums, describe your issue as detailed as you can and wait for help.

 

[CaliDad]

Yes, that's what I did.

 

[Mateotis]

Yes, that's what I did.

I see. Now, all you have to do is be patient. Also, read through these two threads carefully and also follow the instructions stated in the second one.
