I am a beta tester for Malwarebytes' Anti Malware - I searched the private rooms, and it (Anti Virus Professional) is *indeed* a malicious product. Steer clear of it.
Best bet is to get Micro$oft's Security Essentials via M$ Connect.

If Malwarebytes' products were malware, I sure as hell wouldn't be beta testing for them lol.
No, I was replying to the post before me, but I'll edit my post to reflect that more clearly. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number The Beast Model V OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Core i7 965 EE @3.6 GHz Motherboard eVGA x58 Classified3 Memory 3 * 4GB Mushkin Enh Redline CL7 DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3-12800) Graphics Card eVGA 560 Ti 448 Core Classified + eVGA GTX260 SSC (PhysX) Sound Card Realtek HD Audio (on-board) Monitor(s) Displays 2 * Acer X213Wbd Screen Resolution 2 * 1680 x 1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Keyboard Mouse Logitech Performance Mouse MX PSU ThermalTake BlackWidow TX TR2 850 W Case ThermalTake Level 10 GT (Black) Cooling Corsair H100 CPU | 2 * TT 140mm TriLED | 2 * Antec TriCool Hard Drives 1 * Intel Cheryville 520 180 GB SATA III SSD |

Would you mind reposting the log, copying it from notepad and pasting it using either the [ quote ] & [ /quote ] tags or the [ code ] & [ /code ] tags?
First of all, that will leave all the line breaks in the log, making it a lot easier to read, and secondly, it will eliminate the black font coloring that you got (assuming you pasted from either Outlook or Word).
here is what it looks like to everyone using the Black - RC skin on these forums:
As you can see, the black font makes it nearly illegible, and the lack of line breaks makes it virtually unreadable even without the coloring....
