Pop Ups and Possibly Infected

I downloaded Advanced System Care for my computer hoping it would speed things up--unfortunately it has done the opposite. I uninstalled the program but I am still getting pop ups for it. I have used a few uninstall programs with no luck. My computer is super slow--I have defragmented the drive and cleaned it out the best I could. I am thinking the computer may be infected? It is a HP Mini 110 netbook- Windows XP. Thanks!

Hi,

Download and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware but during install choose not to active the Trial you only need the Free version.

Let the program update and do a quick scan, post the resulting log on your reply.

If the program request to restart do it, the log file can later be found doing this:
Start -> Run -> "%AppData%\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs"

Note: Paste the text above including the quotes on the run box to open the folder containing the logs.
The log file is named like this "mbam-log-date (time).txt".

Hi,

Do a scan using Eset On-line Scanner

Click on Advanced Settings, an check the options:

• Scan for potentially unwanted applications
• Scan for potentially unsafe applications
• Enable Anti-Stealth Technology are ticked.

Click Scan and then wait for the scan to finish (it will take some time).

When the scan ends press the button [LIST OF THREATS FOUND], click Export to Text File open the text file and copy & Paste the contents to your reply.
Press the BACK button.
Press Finish

Everytime I try to run ESET Online Scanner my computer either A. Freezes or B. Says unexpected error 101.

Have you tried uninstalling ASC,rebooting and see how it runs?

Okay, I downloaded malware bytes and spy bot and they found a bunch of malware. Finally uninstalled avg antivirus because it stopped working. Thought I was all clear and I installed avast antivirus. Everything was fine until this morning now the antivirus program won't work....this has been my problem for the past few months. Anytime I download an antivirus program it will stop working or won't let me update virus definitions...I definitely think malware has taken over my system. Please help.

Running EsEt online scanner right now. Will post results when scan completes.

Ok lets see how the AV thing is after ESET.
