Cloud Guard
EmieSiteList
EmieUserList
b5-Latn-Ba
81DB78D
User\AppData\Roaming\MaxCleaner
tr-TR
%AllUsersProfile%random.exe
The main thing is to find a common date and time with these files so you can pinpoint when you downloaded it. Like 6/12/2015 at 10:30 pm
So now you have to do a search in Windows 7 or 8 to find all the files. Here is the search: filemodified6/12/2015. And here is the agonizing part. You need to delete all these files. Some have been secretly modified. Some will only be deleted in Safe Mode. I used Unlocker for some stubborn files. It is wonderful and free and safe .. Go PC Computing Magazine. Also check to see if your DNS servers have been changed. If you see 31.168.224.100, these people have already taken over your computer. Change back quickly to your original DNS server.
I hope this helps someone.
