Hello,

I have an Asus K53E Laptop
Processor: Intel Core i5-2410M
64-bit Operating System
Windows 7 Home Premiums Service Pack 1

Recently my Malware-bytes found a virus, and I simply removed it. However when searching on Google, I read there may be alterations to the registry and the virus may come back.

(I can't find the Malwarebytes log any longer, so I couldn't tell you what the virus name is)

Today I was going through my start up programs, learning what each one did, and noticed that there was one in particular that Google search was stating as a virus, including a thread on this very forum.

The start up is Partner BHO Class. (Partner.dll)

Besides this concern, I was wondering in general if anything else looked peculiar. I plan to start using Sandboxie and Returnil Virtual to prevent problems from occuring, and just want to make sure everything is good to go before I do that.

I have attached a text file of my start up (from Crap Cleaner).

Thank you and much appreciation

My apologies, I should have been more clear, in the Malwarebytes Log section, there are no logs present. I most likely may have deleted them after it found the virus. (Learned from my mistake)

The Malware Bytes version is 1.51.2.1300 and the Database version: 8302 (Date 12/3/2011)

I went ahead and did the Eset OnlineScan, and it found zero threats, so no log file was produced.
