Hi. :)
What the ESET scan found was an infected system restore point, we will flush you're restore points now to deal with that.

your latest set of logs appear to be clean!
This is my general post for when your logs show no more signs of malware.

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:


Time for some housekeeping
  • Click on Start >> Run...
  • Now type in ComboFix /Uninstall into the and click OK.
  • Note the space between the X and the /Uninstall, it needs to be there.

The above procedure will reset your System Restore and clear out the backups and quarantines created during the course of this fix.


Next

Clean up with OTM

  • Double-click OTM.exe to start the program, This tool will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.
  • Close all other programs apart from OTMoveIt3 as this step will require a reboot
  • On the OTM main screen, press the CleanUp! button
  • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.


You can now delete any tools we used if they remain on your Desktop.


Protection Programs
Don't forget to re-enable any protection programs we disabled during your fix.


Now we needed to deal with security vulnerabilities
