Yuckware removal - my scan logs

Hi Emma --

Basically all you need to do is copy and paste the log. But timber, I'm very sorry to say, passed away last March. So we'll do what we can to help you but he was the real expert re this sort of thing.

One thing I have found helpful is to Google anything I can't recognize in a log. You can also Google it and add key words to your search like remove, yuckware, spyware, virus, antivirus, Norton, Symantec, McAfee or the like, and see what you come up with. Not a perfect solution and I certainly wish timber was still here to really give you the help you need.

Yuckware Removal - My Scan Logs
Thank you Jespah, for your reply, I am sorry to hear that Timber is no longer with us.

I will do as you say and google anything that I don't understand, but see the following for my scan logs, if you can help in any way I would be most grateful.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi Emma, I Googled a bunch of stuff and came up with nothing. Hmm, have you run scans and then logged in safe mode? I can't quite recall all of the steps but safe mode should pull out anything that's okay and not show it (like MS Word or whatever). Another idea is the vundo virus. Not saying you have it, but vundo is such a pain and so chameleon-like ... but I really don't want to lead you down the wrong way.

However, I did Google vundo zwinky and came up with a few possibilities, don't know if they apply to your situation. You might want to (I hate sending people to other sites but obviously it's best for you if I do so) go there, post your log and see what they say:
