    My pc was infected by a virus or two yesterday and although I have removed most of the problem there are one or two issues that would seem to indicate that I have missed something somewhere. In particular, when I open my Google Chrome browser, two extensions are added; wiki-search.me and another with Chinese writing which I think is something called QQPC. The second issue is with my Firefox browser, which instead of opening to my Google homepage opens to the url "www.%snf%.com".
    I have rund Malwarebytes, AdCleaner and FRST as requested. The log files are attached.
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks.
