Greetings,

I want to start playing poker more seriously, and therefor want to be sure that my computer is malware free.

I have a strong hunch that there are some applications running that I don't have controll over. I downloaded the antivirus programs and firewall that were recommended in Virus/Spyware/Malware thread.

I found a bunch of tracking cookies and got them removed. I then looked at some of the processes that were running and recognized some unfamiliar programs. When I went to their file location and tried to delete them, I got an error message saying I did not have sufficient permission to remove them. I then used the SUPERDELETE function from the SUPERantispyware program. Some of the files were then deleted, but some of them just replicated and came right back. My solution to this was to deny any writing access to the folder. New error messages occured.



Here are links to pastebin.com where I pasted the scans:

- dds
- attach
- Malwarebytes scan
- HijackThis


All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
