Stay Away From Free DVD Maker Unless You Enjoy Malware And Rootkit's Galore

I recently decided to download and try a new DVD creator program. Not sure where I came across the link. But if you do, avoid it, or you'll be getting the online version of the plague. The program is called Free DVD Maker from 77freeware.com.

First it installed a piece of crap called Pro_PC_Cleaner without my consent then it downloaded and installed another bunch of garbage including: sushileads, something called Heads?? if I remember correctly and included a nice rootkit virus at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\drivers\ogixmzh2mnnhbgf.sys.

Winpatrol - www.winpatrol.com is the program that alerted me of this driver trying to start up. So I immediately ran a scan with Malwarebytes - www.malwarebytes.org and Adwcleaner - www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ and my anti virus, Avira - www.avira.com/en/avira-free-antivirus also popped up with a warning about ogixmzh2mnnhbgf.sys.

Adwcleaner also deleted a file at C:\WINDOWS\efix.ini. Research imdicates that it may be a part of those fake adobe flash popup ads.

All scans where done in Safe mpde. Anyway I got rid of all that garbage before it was able to set in and then I had to get rid of one more piece of garbage, the Free DVD Maker. Good Riddance.

I deleted a bunch of stuff off my hard drive manually and below I've included a copy of my Malwarebytes log:
