in safe mode F8 run malwarebytes anti-malware and SUPERAntispyware,and what they find you

delete it manually. then run ccleaner to clean your pc, and mvregclean, to clean registry.

what mvregclean find you remove because the key is there but not the file ,folder or program.

even you reformat and it finds anything remove dont be afraid.

dont forget when you install this software to update them, and do an update every day

then restore untill before you get infected.

These are the steps I take for customers.



*Download, install programs and the get the updates. DO NOT RUN A SCAN YET:





Malwarebytes

http://www.malwarebytes.org/



Ccleaner (will clean up crap after going online)

http://www.ccleaner.com/download

(Don't install Yahoo tool bar)



*Then after you have done the install and updates, DISCONNECT from the internet. Pull the plug.





*Next, boot up in safe mode (Tap the F8 key every few seconds as the system boots up until the screen with Safe Mode option appears). Choose the first Safe Mode, not with network.



*Now run the above spyware program. Choose Full scans as oppossed to quick scans for the first time.

Then run CCleaner, I dont analyze, I just choose the Run option.



Also run CCLEANER AFTER YOU ARE ONLINE all the time (in regular mode). Have every user do this.



Also, run malwarebytes every week.

Microsoft's MSRT- Malicious Software Removal Tool



For the current list of malware from Microsoft that the most recent MSRT can detect & cure go here:

http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/families.mspx



If you have downloaded the most recent MSRT from Microsoft (from the monthly 'Cycle Update'):

Right click the desktop > New> Shortcut; then type in " MSRT " (sans quote), a shortcut will be made directly to run the tool.

This will identify known malware, and corrective action taken.



Has full UI; quick scan takes 5 minutes; full scan is much longer.

Gives results of scans, checks e-mail, etc.

Very handy set-up.



For download of the MSRT, go here:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=40587



On line scan also available.

Please download and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update it and run a full scan. Remove everything it finds.

After disinfection, download and install Avira AntiVir if you do not have an anti-virus installed.

If you are still having problems with your computer, I recommend that you go to bleepingcomputer.com in order to remove all traces of malware in your computer.
