Hello chkmatr.
Please copy this page to
Notepad and Save it to your Desktop in order to assist you when carrying out the following instructions.
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.
It is IMPORTANT that you don't miss a step & perform everything in the correct order/sequence.
------------------------------------------------------
Please note that these fixes are not instantaneous. Most infections require more than one round to properly eradicate.
Please stay with me until given the 'all clear' even if symptoms seemingly abate.
Kindly follow my instructions and please do no fixing on your own or running of scanners unless requested by a helper.

I see you have
XoftSpySE installed on your system. This application was previously listed as a rogue program because of false positives and deceptive advertising. Please read
here
Although no longer listed as such, we recommend uninstalling it and downloading antispyware programs that have proven themselves tried and true. See
here for a list of trustworthy antispyware products.
If you decide to uninstall it, also delete the following
Folder if it still exists:
C:\Program Files\XoftSpySE
------------------------------------------------------
Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 2
Link 3
* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop
- Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right-click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools.
- Double-click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
- As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
- Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.
**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.
Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
Click on
Yes to continue scanning for malware.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the
C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
