    Why didn't you have this one selected for removal on your MBA-M scan?
    C:\Program Files (x86)\SUPERAntiSpyware\keygen.exe (Trojan.Agent.CK) -> Not selected for removal.
    It MOST definitely should have been. That is a backdoor vulnerability which may be installed for malicious purposes by an attacker allowing access to your computer from remote locations, stealing passwords, Internet banking and personal data. It MOST definitely should have been removed! Yet, you elected not to remove it.

    No it was not. It was clearly in the MBA-M log. You didn't post the ESET log. At least it isn't here.

    I didn't post the ESET log yet because I thought the threat it just found was the scanning log. But its scanning right now which should take another hour or so.

    Where does the scan store the log?

    As the Read Me instructions clearly state in bold print;

    C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt.

    You obviously are in the habit of doing program cracks, as evidenced just by your MBA-M infected files. This is obviously how you have such an infected computer. Hope you know in addition to causing a myriad of infections there have been many lawsuits over cracking software.
    We are talking illegal activities here. Until I saw this log I was not aware that this was the reason for the infections, now I know.
    This is a violation of stated Forum Rules:
    Discussion of illegal activities such as software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed.
    Judging by the files found in your scan I have to assume that each one of these paid programs which contained the infections were obtained illegally.
    Therefore you are now on your own.

    Constant use of cracked software opens the door to severe infection and causes threats to others you may be in contact with via email also.
    I would recommend a reformat and reload with ALL legal programs.
    SUPERAntispyware has a FREE version, there was no reason to illegally install this cracked version. The other cracked programs would have cost about $150 total if you had purchased them, instead you got them illegally and therefore put your computer at a greater risk.
    I have to stress, those infections were found by one program, there are very likely others on there too. There is no guarantee that all will be found. I also have no idea what other cracked programs are on there. I see at least 5 infected ones in that log which tells me it is likely there are many many more.
    You paid a big price to "save" a few hundred dollars.
