Hi Guys,

Help would be much appreciated. I've attached 2 logs from Malware Anti-Bytes I was just wondering what a web-sparkle reg key is and could it have done much damage? I noticed that my laptop was running very slowly for about 5 mins before I ran the scan. It seems to be gone now, but having googled it, it is listed as an 'extremely dangerous and tricky worm.'

Thanks a million
