Just deleting this will not work. It has changed your winlogon registry entry.

Try this

Restart your computer, and then press and hold F8 during the initial startup to start your computer in safe mode with a Command prompt.

Use the arrow keys to select the Safe mode with a Command prompt option.



At the command prompt, type cd restore and then press ENTER.

Next,type rstrui.exe , and then press ENTER



The System Restore window will start and you’ll need to select a restore point previous to this infection.



Then download malwarebytes, install, update and run

Answer 3

First off, don't connect to the internet with it.



I use to have a similar problem. Have you tried system restore? But thats usually the first thing the virus deactivates.



I solved the problem using 3 trial software, this was a long time ago but I think it was



Super anti spyware

something about anti malware

and then something like avast or something.



You have to run the one, reboot, run the other, reboot and then let the avast do a deep system scan.
