OK I'm baffled on this one. About 6 months ago I accidentally didn't uncheck the box for Funmoods toolbar when installing something, and long story short I decided to reinstall Win 7 (including deleting the original OS partition; I forget if I formatted it too) to make sure I killed it.

My computer has worked flawlessly since then. I have definitely not accidentally installed Funmoods since the reinstall - I've been hyper-vigilant about carefully reading what's being installed by default when installers run. There is no trace of it in Chrome or IE extensions/plugins etc. At all times I've had NOD32 running and updated, Windows (important) Updates immediately installed, and periodically scan with Malwarebytes. I only run Chrome unless IE is required for some random site.

So I was shocked today when I ran a Malwarebytes quick scan and it turned up Funmoods registry files. I pasted the log below. Again, my computer is working perfectly and there's never been any visible/noticeable funmoods crap in my browsers since my reinstall. My last MB quick scan a month or two ago (prior to recent MB update I installed) turned up nothing.

Any ideas how traces of Funmoods could be on my computer? Is it possible it survived the OS reinstall? Is it getting into my system without me installing anything when I visit an infected website? I want to figure out what I'm doing to allow it on my system because I thought I was being very careful. Thanks for any help!

Chorizo,

Any ideas how traces of Funmoods could be on my computer?
You may have installed a program and it bundled Funmoods.

For a browser, do you use Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome?
Browser extensions, homepage change and a change in search engine are master-minded by Funmoods.
You may need to reverse these changes, if you are affected.

Also, in Control Panel> Programs and Features, is Funmoods present there?
If so, click Uninstall.and follow the prompts.

Remove any Funmoods scheduled task:
Press Start, and in the Search Programs and Files box above it, copy paste the following:
%windir%\System32\Tasks

In the window that appears, check for any Funmoods tasks
Updatetask.exe is launched automatically by registering itself into the Windows Task Scheduler under the task name: \Funmoods

Scheduled tasks:
The job 'At1' runs weekly in the path 'C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\At1.job'
The job 'Funmoods' runs daily in the path '\Funmoods'
The job 'DSite' runs daily in the path '\DSite'
The job 'Searchya' runs daily in the path '\Searchya'
Entry path 'C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\At1.job'
Entry path '\DSite'
Entry path 'C:\WINDOWS\Tasks\At2.job'
Entry path '\Funmoods'

If you find any scheduled tasks for Funmoods, use the following tutorial to remove:
