Hello- I hope I'm posting this in the right place. My pc has been giving me a lot of grief lately and I think it has to do with some type of infection. I use avast! Internet Security, STOPzilla, and scan a couple of times a week with Malwarebytes. Here's the deal: I have been having trouble with my autoplay settings remaining set. There are other minor hardware glitches that started appearing at about the same time. All of this started happening about the time we had this 'tech' come into our home who is a notorious hacker in town and claims to have all these certifications. Anyway, STOPzilla keeps finding this Trojan labeled 'c:\windows\system32\comres.dll' and these cookies called 'live365.com'. After just removing them and going to my email to track another thread I initiated here, another weird thing happened- a window popped up saying 'Adobe flash has stopped an unsafe operation'. An [object] in my system is trying to communicate with an internet enabled location>'img.cdn.mediaplex.com' What the hell is going on here??? I have been told, and I thought, this was a false/positive scenario. This has never happened in the past, until that 'tech' worked on my machine. The only thing I know was that 'they' wiped out my original OS, without doing any diagnostics for the original problem, and installed a new OS from a flash drive, along with some other utilities. This person came highly recommended thru the 'friends' network, and since this, I've done some investigating and found out this 'tech' is a very malicious, whacked out individual.
I've run a full Malwarebytes scan, full avast! scan, and the only thing that picks this up is STOPzilla. Apparently there is something in my system that is beyond the definitions of my current security. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME???
I thank you in advance for any viable help!
