    Already update the Java and Adobe as per your request.
    I also scan my computer through ESET OnlineScan.
    The result is No threat detected.
    Is it consider as my computer already free of spyware and malware and consider as safe already?
    Really appreciate your help would like to treat you a coffee for appreciate your help.  ;D ;D

    By the way, how we can find out whether my computer has been attack by virus or malware?
    Which scan is better?
    ESET OnlineScan can check whether my computer been attack?

    Since there are so many different malware infections out there it's almost impossible to use one scanner that will clean everything.
    Your computer was certainly compromised. You can see some of the infections in the MBAM, adwCleaner and ComboFix logs. ESET is the best scanner because it works from outside your computer and is not influenced by any infections on your computer.
    Are there any other issues before we do some cleanup?

      To uninstall ComboFix

      • Click the Start button. Click Run. For Vista: type in Run in the Start search, and click on Run in the results pane.
      • In the field, type in ComboFix /uninstall


      (Note: Make sure there's a space between the word ComboFix and the forward-slash.)

      • Then, press Enter, or click OK.
      • This will uninstall ComboFix, delete its folders and files, hides System files and folders, and resets System Restore.
      ***********************************************
      Click Start> Computer> right click the C Drive and choose Properties> enter
      Click Disk Cleanup from there.



      Click OK on the Disk Cleanup Screen.
      Click Yes on the Confirmation screen.



      This runs the Disk Cleanup utility along with other selections if you have chosen any. (if you had a lot System Restore points, you will see a significant change in the free space in C drive)
      *********************************************
      Go to Microsoft Windows Update and get all critical updates.

        We are finished with the scanners and your computer should be malware-free.
