I can not find appropriate removal instructions for this spigot malware. All instructions that I find on the net show screenshots which do not match my system or instructions to look for malicious .exe files that I can not see in my files.

I am using Windows 8 which I am new to.I find this system non intuitive. I am struggling to conduct basic file search actions.

I have spent the last day on this issue and I am becoming extremely frustrated.

I have found out I am using a 64 bit system

Hi - Please find the Fixlog you requested. Something has definitely changed regarding the browser start up. No Yahoo appearing :) Do you still want me to go through the Zoek proceedure?

OK its done. Please find the attached file. I did not disable the AVG virus scanner before eecuting proceedure (I was not sure if this was essential). The AVG Scanner said it detected a virus upon computer shut down. It also said the code was attempting to make changes to the AVG system. Does that have anything to do with the Zoek tool?

Yes, it probably has something with Zoek. Zoek is legit tool, and some antivirus products flag it as malicious, what is false detection.

We will still need one more fix and we're done:


> Re-run zoek with the script below and attach here fresh zoek log results.

Sorry for the delay. The Virus system kept on killing the Zoek tool.
The log is attached.

Hi thanks for that. Please find attached the new log. I have recently experienced a new issue which I am not sure if it is related to what we are doing: I am noticing that on the last few computer boot ups I can not use my key board. I have to restart my laptop which seems to get the key board back again.

PC seems clean now. How is the situation except keyboard problem?


About your keyboard, are you using hibernation or sleep mode?
 
Thanks for that. I will sort out the beer for you. Not sure what is causing the keyboard problem. It did not happen tonight - not using sleep or hibernation mode. Will see if it persists. Thanks for your help :)
