Hello all and thanks in advance for any help you can lend.

I'm pretty new to this site so please forgive me if i do anything wrong.

I noticed yesterday that my computer was having serious problems. When I try to run spybot, malwarebytes, or any other virus/spyware i get an error or it won't run at all. After a few hours and several hundred swear words later I did get Malwarebytes to run. But unfortunately everything that it got rid of has come back. One of the culprits was braviax.exe. I am pretty sure that is what is responsible for the annoying little red circle with the white "x" on my taskbar. It keeps popping up saying that my computer is infected. I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. I would just re-install windows but I bought this computer used and it didn't come with the disk.

We Need to check for Rootkits with RootRepeal

Download RootRepeal from the following location and save it to your desktop.
- Direct Download (Recommended)
- Zip Mirrors (Recommended if you have a slower connection or if the Direct Download mirror is down)
- Rar Mirrors - Only if you know what a RAR is and can extract it.
Extract RootRepeal.exe from the archive (If you did not use the "Direct Download" mirror).
Open on your desktop.
Click the tab.
Click the button.
Check all seven boxes:
Push Ok
Check the box for your main system drive (Usually C:), and press Ok.
Allow RootRepeal to run a scan of your system. This may take some time.
Once the scan completes, push the button. Save the log to your desktop, using a distinctive name, such as RootRepeal.txt. Include this report in your next reply, please.
