This is a big thank you to TwinheadedEagle, a helper who I made this account specifically to congratulate him.

I know you guys say not to use ComboFix without being told to do so and how. But I decided to just look through your forums for people with the same malware before I wasted everyone's time. This one was the spyware that attempted to sell your information to ff5ee.com and other unlisted domain IP addresses. Luckily thanks to Malwarebytes premium those outbounds were blocked. Anyways, all these cases came to the same conclusion. Use ComboFix. They also all happen to be answered by you, TwinheadedEagle. So I decided to just look at the guide for how to use it and do it myself, because Malwarebytes, ESET, Junkware Remover, Rkiller, etc, were powerless to do anything to this virus. ComboFix solved the issue in under 10 minutes. So thank you for responding to all those people before me. As of this message I performed the fix 2 days ago and have not had an issue since. Only remaining questions are if I should now use DelFix to remove all the programs used in the process and if I should uninstall ComboFix or clean up it's folders first. Is it necessary to clean it's Quarantine, as it say that uninstalling the program will reopen it's quarantine. Thank you in advance.
