I'm having an issue with Advanced Virus Remover. After the the Malwarebytes scan and removal, it appeared that things were working properly (no more pop-ups) until I used a search engine. Now, it seems that my browser has been hijacked.

I ran Malwarebytes earlier today and it found 19 infections. However, I was using a previous version and forgot to update, so I downloaded the latest version and did another scan. It still found 2 infections after the second scan.

Below are the first 2 Malwarebytes logs. Below those is the HiJackThis Log. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Sorry for delayed response. Forums have been really busy. If you still need help with this do following steps, please.

Have word wrap in notepad disabled.

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.

• When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
  • DDS.txt
    
  • Attach.txt
• Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.

Update MBAM definitions on update tab and run a quick scan. Post back its report.
