Re: ZlobDNSChanger - Redirects and PC Performance Problems

You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com...Fixwareout.exe

http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

Once the desktop loads a text file will open (report.txt), you can close it - the file has already been saved.

Please post the contents of the text file that opened earlier (you can find it at C:\fixwareout\report.txt ) in your next reply.

**If you receive an error message while trying to run FixWareout, copy autoexec.nt from the C:\WINDOWS\repair folder to C:\WINDOWS\system32 folder, and run FixWareout again.

Open HijackThis and click on 'Do a System Scan and save a Logfile'. Save the log file and post it here.
