My Laptop is Infected with Spyware

Logs look ok. Still not seeing any malware. Looks like what avast found was from a web page. that means its trying to do its job. Web Shield I think they call it?
Once last download. There is a guide you can read first before using it. Read through the guide then apply the directions on your own machine. Post the log in your reply.

Not a malware issue. Cant remove what I dont see or what tools dont detect or remove themselves.Theres nothing else left to run. Back in Jan. I said not everything is caused by malware. There are general computer forums here, for nonmalware issues. I also think replacing a mainboard without a reformat reinstall is just asking for potential problems, but thats just my two cents. Ive built many desktops but have never just replaced a mainboard by itself.

If you think you still have malware then you can visit the Avast forums, I think you said it all started after Avast picked up something. You could also reformat/reinstall Windows.

You can remove combofix like this:

start>run and type in:
combofix /uninstall
click ok or enter
note the space after the x and before the /

you can delete the aswmbr and tdsskiller icon from your desktop as well as the logs.
 
Thank You For Your Help!

Hi Shelf life,

Well, the problems remain the same as before I replaced the motherboard! The one thing I was most concerned about was not being able to install anti-spyware properly. I have not experienced problems replacing these type motherboards before.

Thank you very much for your help investigating the problems. I have learned more about spyware as a result

I think I will take your advice, wipe the hard drive and re-install Windows.

Kind Regards

Jimbub
