I have a similar problem to that mentioned in yesterday's "Advanced Virus Remover Malware Aftershock" post. I downloaded Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, installed the application, and followed your instructions. It immediately seems to have removed the very annoying virus (Advanced Virus Remover), but gmail is blocked on both Firefox and Microsoft Outlook, and I cannot access it. Is the solution the same as posted? Here is the mbam-log from yesterday (three subsequent scans each removed one item).
