Hi

My boyfriend's computer has been infected by this Personal Antivirus program and I am at a loss at how to get rid of it. I finally managed to get Malwarebytes working (thanks to a helpful tip on your sit of renaming the file) and it managed to clean up a lot of viruses. However the program remains. I have pasted below the log from hijack this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Heather
