Have you uninstalled the cracked software?

Cracked (Illegal) Software

This is quite likely the main reason your computer is infected. Visiting cracksites/warezsites - and other questionable/illegal sites is always a risk.

Even a single click on the site can drop multiple forms of very serious malware, many of which disable your onboard protection, and System Restore. Don't think: "I have a good Antivirus and Firewall installed, they will protect me" - because that's not true... and even before you know it, your Antivirus and Firewall may become disabled by the malware which has now found its way on your system.

If you install the cracked software, you are running executable files from these dubious, unknown sources. You are in effect giving these sources access to information on your hard disk, and potential control over the operation of your computer.

Additionally, cracked programs are illegal.

Referring to the Forum Rules which you should have read at the time of Registering at this forum, TSF does not support illegal activity. Before posting for help, we ask that you uninstall any such applications, as indicated in this sticky topic.

As such, be advised that any request for assistance in removing malware may go unanswered, or may be discontinued, if the cracked (illegal) software is still present on the machine. Any future requests for help may be ignored.

Uninstall these illegal softwares now.
