Yeah to be on the safe side i ran all my anti virus , anti malware etc after i ran JRT just to be sure. Didnt come back and have had no problems since, all thanks to the Guru's on this site:)
I also don't know JRT before:), but i removed conduit via Yet Another Cleaner, it works and conduit did not come back
JRT= Junkware Removal Tool
Hi, read through this thread because I practically had a crippled machine with malware, ran JRT (among a lot of other steps) and esetonline scanner in safe mode and that seemed to find all the buggers (and more that I was not even aware of using other scanners)...you are in good hands here chief...good luck, and I'd just humbly offer eset online scanner (free) to do a thorough check and clean up.
What Programs did you run buddy?
Hi Devlin, assuming you were directing that question to me...
Well, had to run a number of programs, because the malware affected my entire system.
All of this was with guidance from Jacee and Andrew129260
Used AdwCleaner first, then TFC, uninstalled all Iobit programs and unnecessary programs, had to use combofix (which to my knowledge is to be used sparingly), then the esetonline free scanner...found ALL of the malware and locations that mbam and mseessentials missed.
basically cleaned up entire system and running from a state where I was almost ready to do reformat to back to optimal efficiency.
Of course, with each scan, the log files generated were the key to the overall fixing.
Yeah Jacee provides very good info:) Yeah combofix is something to be used with alot of care, never used it myself but have heard of people having "mishaps" with it, good stuff bud
