[RESOLVED] Unknown trojan, Malwarebytes executable deleted

[shazbot]

I was surfing the web with Firefox the other day when a warning from Avast popped up. I closed the offending tab immediately, but from that point on, I started getting popup ads showing up randomly. I decided to run the usual gamut of tests, but that's when things got complicated.

I first went to Malwarebytes, only to discover that the executable was missing. No problem, I thought, I'll just uninstall and reinstall. I did that, but after completing the installation and opting to run it after exiting the installer, I received an error message that the executable, mbam.exe, was missing. SUPER Antispyware is still running fine, but I can't get Malware bytes onto my computer, it seems.

I ran Adaware, and it claimed to have removed some trojan I had never heard of, but as of right now, there has been no effect. Should I just run a complete SUPER Antispyware scan in Safe Mode and post a log of just that?



Edit: Sorry, just realized I posted this in the Hijack This forum with no Hijack This log.
