From this log, how do you know that the issue is solved, your inputs can help me detect similar errors in future. Also, what products should I use to protect my pc from similar malware in future.
I currently use: Symantec Endpoint Protection v11 (given by my university), Spyware Doctor, Bit Defender and also got Hitman Pro recently. Once I leave the university I will no longer get their AV. What is the best combination of products I should use. I don't even mind the paid version.
Thanks a lot for helping me fix the issue and suggesting me some products. Look forward to your reply.
