From my previous log the other day about a message appearing on my screen saying my computer is infected with trojans and viruses. I took on board your advice and ran malwarebytes and thought it had cured the problem but have just had the same message come up again from e set. Is this someone trying to get me to purchase their security and does anyone know of e set.

Eset is a highly respected producer of AV and Internet security. However, if you've not installed any Eset products, then yes, it's a scam.
Which AV product do you actually use?

Hi Rojash I use Mcafee and have done for years and so far no problems until recently. As far as I know I don't have any Eset products installed
In that case, I would download and run Malwarebytes antimalware.

Click the "Download free version" button.

Have already ran malwarebytes and it says no problems
Well if Malwarebytes isn't finding anything, you could try the free version of Superantispyware from http://www.superantispyware.com/ - it does pretty much the same thing as Malwarebytes, but may be better at detecting some infections.

I happen to prefer Malwarebytes, but you can have both of these on your computer at the same time so trying it can't hurt and may work for you
I'd recommend MalwareBytes, you can download the full version here:
