Before beginning the fix, read this post completely. If there's anything that you do not understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding. Ensure that there aren't any opened browsers when you are carrying out the procedures below. Save the following instructions in Notepad as this webpage would not be available when you're carrying out the fix.

It is IMPORTANT that you don't miss a step & perform everything in the correct order/sequence.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download this file - http://download.bleepingcomputer.com...a/ComboFix.exe
   
   * IMPORTANT !!! Place combofix.exe on your Desktop
   
   
   
2. Disconnect from the internet....pull the plug!
   
3. Disable your AntiVirus and all AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with ComboFix.
   
4. Go to -> Run -> paste in the following single line command & click OK
   
   

   "%userprofile%\desktop\combofix.exe" /killall

   
   
   
   
5. Follow the prompts. Type "1" and press Enter to begin the scan.
6. Your desktop may go blank. This is normal. It will return when ComboFix is done. ComboFix may reboot your machine. This is normal.
   
7. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
   
   Note:
   Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
   
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
8. Ensure your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications are re-enabled. A reboot should have done this.
   
9. Re-establish an internet connection.
   
10. Please download HijackThis to your desktop
    
    Alternate link
    
    Double-click on the file you just downloaded.
    Click on the "Unzip" button to install. It will by default install to the directory - C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis
    
    Upon install, HijackThis should open for you.
    
    Should it not open, navigate to C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis and double click on HijackThis.exe
    
    1. If it gives you an intro screen, just choose 'Do a system scan and save a logfile'.
    2. If you don't get the intro screen, just hit Scan and then click on Save log.
    3. Post the hijackthis.log file here. Do not fix anything in HijackThis since they may be harmless.
