Please print out or copy this page to Notepad in order to assist you when carrying out the following instructions.

Your log appears to show multiple antivirus programs running. Multiple antivirus programs running at the same time can cause conflicts so it is recommended you uninstall all but one.

Go to My Computer >Tools >Folder Options >View tab and make sure that Show hidden files and folders is enabled. Also make sure that the System Files and Folders are showing / visible. Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files option.

Please download AproposFix

Save it to your desktop but do NOT run it yet.

Please download Ewido Security Suite.

1. Install Ewido Security Suite.
2. When installing, under 'Additional Options' uncheck:
* Install background guard
* Install scan via context menu
3. Launch Ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop, double click it.
4. The program will now open to the main screen.
5. When you run Ewido for the first time, you will get a warning 'Database could not be found!'. Click OK. We will fix this in a moment.
6. You will need to update Ewido to the latest definition files.
* On the left hand side of the main screen click update.
* Then click on Start Update.
7. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed. The status bar at the bottom will display 'Update successful'.
8. Exit Ewido. DO NOT scan yet.

The Temp folders must be cleaned out periodically as installation programs and hijack programs leave a lot of junk there. Download Cleanup! (Alternate Link) and install it. You will use this later.

*NOTE* Cleanup deletes EVERYTHING out of temporary folders and does not make backups.

Download KillBox v2.0.0.175.exe (it's important that you get version v2.0.0.175)

o Do NOT select 'Perform action on all infections'
o If you are unsure of any entry found, select none for now as the action.

* Click Save report.
* Save the report .txt file to your desktop or a location where you can find it easily.

Note: There is no need to purchase Ewido. It will remain as the freeware version after the trial period, which means the guard process will no longer work, but the scanner will be just as effective.
