Do the following:



1. Disable System Restore.

2. Boot into Safe Mode.

3. Scan with Avira.

4. Scan with Malwarebytes.

5. Reboot back to normal mode and re-enable System Restore.



Note: Safe Mode is needed in order to prevent the malware from running in memory, which may make it hard to remove it.



In the future, always scan any file you download before opening them. That 'keygen' could have been a lot more malicious and even wiped out your hard drive!

Ok.Don't freak out.You got a spyware or a virus

Donload spybot from here http://fileforum.betanews.com/download/Spybot_Search_Destroy/1043809773/1

It is an anti-spyware software.Run it and do a full scan of the PC.It should pick up spywares and remove them

Then go download Malware Bytes from here http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?part=dl-10804572&subj=dl&tag=button

Download it and run it .Again do a full scan and see what it finds.





After this go here http://download.softpedia.com/dl/97173945cb9e2e960c184718b021e861/4958ac60/100020619/software/antivirus/kis8.0.0.506en.exe and download Kaspersky internet security.It's an antivirus(I assume you don't have one now if you got viruses.If you have uninstall your antiv and install this one)

Do a full scan to be sure you don't have any problems anymore.



After the trial of KAS ends(30 days) get a good free antivirus like AVG which you can download from http://www.avg.com/filedir/inst/avg_free_stf_en_8_176a1400.exe



Also remember never to run 2 antiviruses at the same time and never browse the web without a good antivirus.

Tsk. tsk. More than likely something is running in startup too. Download Spybot and run it. Fix the issues it finds.

Shut down and try booting into safemode, then try deleting it from there.

Go to system restore and reboot your computer to a earlier date.
