So let me get this straight. You don't want to use Malware Bytes because it found something that others didn't find. That's actually normal and the main reason a lot of us like to use it as an on demand scanner.

Well like i said before, if what i have works, im not going to fix it. I think running multiple scans is sort of Redundant.

I think somehow my computer got flagged down with a cookie from a website (dont know which one), so now that i opted out (from zedo.com), i think that did the trick.

7) Close the Search box
8) Click on Start, Run and type REGEDIT and press Enter
9) Click on the Plus sign (+) next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
