The smart thing to do would be to check your hosts file and delete anything unfamiliar. If Malwarebytes is picking it up, it's unlikely stuff you added to bypass license checks.
I can't remember ugh, what I do remember is the ones I entered in all have a space under them and those are still there and suprising enough there are 4 which I believe was detected once although I can't remember for sure
 
Is everything else running smoothly? No unwarranted ads? Did you have to do a System Restore?
No system restore and everything is good the only other thing other than the hotspot shield is that every time I boot chrome it gives me a directory and an extension is missing (it was one that wouldn't let me use the Internet and would come back even after removed)

It sounds like you should uninstall and reinstall Google Chrome.

I was going to link to this guide earlier before I noticed it got scrambled. It is a very good guide with a lot of useful information if one is willing to wade through the formatting mess.
Perhaps someday I'll see if I can make a new version that's all nice and updated and formatted nicely.

You need to use something like CCleaner and check your startup entries for anything suspicious (like things being ran from AppData and the Start Menu folder).

it's gone now so it doesn't matter but thanks!
 
Oh that makes sense thanks :) ! well wrapping up with the last scan from malwarebytes because it suggested although I don't think there is a need for me to post my log and stuff because everything I was concerned about is completely fine so thanks for everything guys!:mthr:
Slightly off topic
[Warning, start of small rant] Minecraft needs to go C++/C#, It is the only reawon I have Java, but you know what is worse than Java? Adobe flash player, I don't even have it installed. [End of rant]

So basically I was wanting to get malwarebytes premium from a certain site ;) that many people may or may not use and basically one to____t I got had a fake install and cr__k for it so basically I got screwed with viruses. Does anyone know or can suggest how I can make it like it never happened? Thanks! :D
Download combo fix and this adware program. It's on the same site as combo fix
 
Malwarebytes and other antivirus programs typically scan for startup entries and the like. If your scans are coming up as zero, you're likely fine without CCleaner. However, it wouldn't hurt.
 
Ohhhhhh no apparently now according to chrome I'm not connected to the Internet and according to Microsoft edge it can't open because I'm logged into the system default administrator account and malware bytes says its missing .dll for and cannot open oooh boy and yes I have Tried restarting

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I also can't re install malwarebytes something about a runtime error
 
Also probably good to note that here's what happened on this boot, I googled two things on Amazon and then Rogers online protection basic told me about some shopperz Trojan so I told it to remove it and then it also said it cAnt remove some infected stuff without a reboot so I clicked ok and it happened after the reboot
 
Like last time, run Malwarebytes in Safe Mode and then restore a Restore Point from before the infection.

Yeah this time I'll try the restore point although like I said malwarebytes is missing some dll file so I still had the installer so I tried re installing but got a "runtime error"

You might need to completely uninstall Malwarebytes before you can reinstall it. You might also want to try installing Malwarebytes in Safe Mode.
