Is it gone?
While surfing....... I messed up....... anyway. I got a screen pop-up from Microsoft Security Essentials saying I had just tried to download a trojan/malware. As my hand was going automatically to hit the "clean my computer" button I thought waaaaiiiiiiiitttttttt a minute, I havent had M.S.E. on my computer from at least two re-installs ago.
Hit Malwarebytes and it started and closed. Ran it as an admin. , it started and ran long enough to show me that there was at least two infections before it was closed again. (All this time the "M.S.E." was popping up as fast as I could close it) Tried running Advanced System Care, same thing. Opened then closed. Could not bring up either task manager or process explorer at all. Could actually run Avast but it said nothing was wrong (fast scan), I knew better than that, soooooo hit system restore. It did it's thing and when re-booted I ran Malwarebytes (full scan),Avast (fast scan again), Advanced System Care, and SuperAntispyware (found 1 tracking cookie). All the rest found nothing.
so my question is...... Is whatever tried to get into my system gone? Would the system restore have rid my system of the trojanwhatever or should I do something else to root it out?
