Just because something does come up on a scan doesn't mean you're not infected. Everyone should read this.

You might need to completely uninstall Malwarebytes before you can reinstall it. You might also want to try installing Malwarebytes in Safe Mode.
NEVER install any sort of AV in Safe Mode. They install kernel hooking libraries that will not properly install in Safe Mode, and will cause a buggy installation and possibly fubar your Windows installation.

I think that applies to antivirus programs with real-time protection.

I seriously dislike System Restore. It can seriously screw up a system if it fails somewhere along the way. Keeping 1:1 image copy is much safer.

Well, luckily all of those things can be backed up if need be. Also, just a protip, but when pirating software, make sure to look for scene releases. ;) Also, would you mind PMing me the infected download you got? I'd like to take a peek at it.

I deleted it rip but I'll send the link, I assure its a safe download just don't run anything it came with lol
EDIT: if you go on a certain bay site and type in malwarebytes premium it's the second one if not close to the second one at a 48 I believe mb download which is larger than it should be according to others ;) also do you think the restore will save me?

My job is to analyze and reverse engineer malware. I have a dedicated machine for ripping apart malicious binaries to see what makes them tick.

Well, I'd be able to figure out exactly what it did to your system. There is malware out there known to infect System Restore points, but I kinda doubt this did. It's a possibility, though I have a feeling that something else may be the culprit. I won't know until you can send me a link though.
