[QUOTE="StabbyMW, post: 701098, member: 68777"] So I was looking for an ISO boot software and since I have used daemon tools in the past I decided to install the lite version, biggest mistake i've made. I noticed immediately something was wrong so I performed a malware scan which removed most of the problems, I also ran a rootkit scan and used the adwcleaner software they provide, this got rid of most of the viruses. After a while I noticed a PuP keept reappearing even though I moved it to quarantine and deleted it, it was located in the google chrome folder under Secure Preferences. I looked at the setting and noticed a strange string of characters and letters under my home button. I googled a bit the issue and came across a thread on this forum about a guy with a similar issue so I installed FRST64 performed a scan and there they were, now I have located the malware but i don't have the knowledge to make a fixlist.txt so I decided to ask you for help.
