Answer 1

Do you remember what software you have installed before this things occured. If yes then you can just do a System Restore dates earlier before this problems has occured. " Misc Tools" (many types) are Viruses that infects your file and cannot be deleted by Free Antivirus when you downloaded a free software and it hides its directory that cannot be viewed even by an Administrator account. System Restore will restore the system files on earlier dates and will delete it from your registry.

Answer 2

The same infection can have different files/ registry entries involved with it. You don't have enough details there. I have 2 suggestions for you.



1) Create a new question on here but include a log for experts to help you -

[*]Make sure you have the LATEST version of HJT (currently v2.0.0.2) it can be downloaded from http://www.trendsecure.com/portal/en-US/_download/HJTInstall.exe

[*]Run the HijackThis Installer and it will automatically place HJT in C:\Program Files\TrendMicro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe. Please don't change the directory.

[*]After installing, the program launches automatically, select Scan now and save a log

[*]After the scan is complete post the log with your question - this will show the registry entries where the malware usually launches from.

Okay - here's what I do with an unwanted and annoying pgm.



1] - Click Open MY COMPUTER

2] - Click Open LOCAL DISC C

3] - Click Open PROGRAM FILES



Now see if you can find the offending program. If you can see it somewhere on LOCAL DISC C - open it up and start dumping pages from it. Once you have sent a couple of so of pages of the pgm to your TRASH CAN it will no longer be able to operate.



I have found the above method the most effective and like you I do not download any more crap from the Internet. My PC has exactly what it had on it when it arrived from the factory - it moves like greased lightning as a result.



GOOD LUCK

have you tried this pair,,,

when youve tried the rest,use the best,,,all free,

download yahoo toolbar with antispy,after update run a scan and it tells you to remove dangerous stuff or remove or allow(not so dangerous stuff,)

and download CCleaner you can select clean out the hard drive and separately the registry,scan and clear issues,,they will find them all.

sounds long winded but it isnt once you download them takes only minutes,,

there is no hiding place from these two,,,

have a nice day
