[QUOTE="Raikou, post: 291025, member: 30056"] Hi TwinHeadedEagle, Thanks for replying so quickly. I ran both TDSKiller and ComboFix. TDSKiller didn't find anything but when I ran ComboFix it seemed to do some good. At first I saw one dllhost.exe process a few times but they would quickly go away. I restarted my computer and it seems like it's done the trick. Is there a common reason that these infections occur? It seemed to happen after I updated my Adobe when it prompted me. I always make sure it's legit and not a pop-up. Also do you have any insight of a reason that my directories have been cleared and some common system files have been hidden? Again, thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
