That could just be a false trace.
I'm sure MBAM would have picked this up.

Have you tried running a HiJack log?

I would run a free PrevX CSI scan on your system32 directory, wait 10 minutes, then scan it again. This allows any unknown dll's to be uploaded to PrevX and analyzed.

Hello Patch41,
This is slightly off topic, however it is not advisable to have two anti virus programs downloaded & running on the same computer.
