Hi and welcome to the malwaretips.com forums!
I'm Jack and I am going to try to assist you with your problem. Please take note of the below:
Before we start:
Please be aware that removing malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.
Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.
STEP 1 : Run a scan with Combofix
Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
COMBOFIX DOWNLOAD LINK #1 (This link will automatically download Combofix on your computer)
COMBOFIX DOWNLOAD LINK #2 (This link will automatically download Combofix on your computer)
VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
<ul>
<li>Close any open browsers.</li>
<li><>Very Important!</> Temporarily <>disable</> your <>anti-virus</>, <>script blocking</> and any <>anti-malware</> real-time protection <em><>before</></em>performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause <em>"unpredictable results"</em>.</li>
<li><>WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts</></li>
<li>Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.</li>
</ul>
How to run the Combofix scan :
Additional notes:
<ol><li> DO NOT mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.</li>
<li>DO NOT "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.</li>
<li>IF after the reboot you get errors about programs being marked for deletion then reboot, that will cure it.</li></ol>

I'm Jack and I am going to try to assist you with your problem. Please take note of the below:
- I will start working on your malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
- The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine!
- The process is not instant. Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine is clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
- If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
- Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
- Refrain from running self fixes as this will hinder the malware removal process.
- It may prove beneficial if you print of the following instructions or save them to notepad as I post them.

Hi Jack,
Thanks again for your assistance.
I have completed step 1 and step 2 (logs attached) however have not been able to effect step 3.
I have been able to download JRT and run both as administrator as advised and also just run however the lines of text keep saying as below.
The system cannot find the path specified.
I attempted this a number of times however the exact same response and then the scan stops and the desktop is normal.
Therefore I am unable to get any JRT.txt log.
Hope this makes sense.

I forgot to mention that I ran spybot and the win32.downloader.gen was not there.
Just in case I ran it again and it was clear.
Thank you for your time and direction on this.
Now with all the different downloads that I have there now, do I clean these up or leave them alone.
Thanks again with your advice.

Hi Jack,
Thanks again mate, I appreciate the assistance.
I ran ESET however there were no threats found so no log.
I ran HitmanPro and have the log as attached. I went to reply and could not connect to google. So I restarted laptop and it ran through a slow startup and then HitmanPro ran again and I have a second log as this discovered 41 threats.
Hope that this makes sense.
Overall things appear to be o.k. however I noticed that at times I did not have the small utilities on the desktop (CPU clock, weather, memory etc). Not sure what that was about however it is back now as normal.
Logs attached. Just ran HitmanPro on startup again and all appears clear.
I now have much downloads for this removal, I look forward to any suggestions about what to keep as ongoing protection.
Thank you.

I Jack,
For some reason I cant attach the logs from HitmanPro.
The message I am getting is as follows.
The type of file that you attached is not allowed. Please remove the attachment or choose a different type.
It is just a text log, I copied and posted into word and was being advised the same message.
Sorry for such a dumb response.

Hi Jack, Thanks again for your assistance with this.

The text box for the Administrator: Security Check displays as follows. Note that this is word for word as displayed.
Results have been copied to checkup.txt which should open...now!
