Solved Is this clean yet? had a nightmare with it...

[ElectricSheep]

I got a mega infection a month ago (Drunk downloading) *No need to tell me, I learned my lesson - never again* MBAM came up with... yes wait for it... 1,200 examples of crud like Trojans, etc. A month later, think I've finally cleaned it all up thanks to all the useful guides on this site, but how can I be sure?


AdwCleaner logs as follows:

***** [ Files / Folders ] *****

Linkury was one of the main problematic ones, also that Weather Alerts app and that cursed Astromenda.

Was forced to use Revo to uninstall Astromenda, and used hunter killer feature to get rid of the app.

Hope you can help by getting rid of the last remnants

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
  
  icon and select
  
  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.

PC seems clean, how is the situation now?

 

[ElectricSheep]

It's looking good at the moment. I'll know more in a day or two, like if it still hangs, etc.
