Download Trend Micro™ Anti-Spyware (by clicking the "Scan and Clean your PC" button).

• Double-click the tmas-web-scan.exe icon
• It will say "Loading TrendMicro definitions".
• Click "Start Scan"

After it's done scanning, click "Scan Results"

• Make sure all items found have a check next to them, then click "Clean Threats Now".
• Click Exit.

Reboot your computer. I then need you to repeat the same procedure above again... using the TrendMicro tool. I need the log from the second scan/clean...NOT the first...as this will contain what’s left in the system.

In place of the TrendMicro icon will be a text file called "Antispyware.log", please double-click that log and copy the entire contents and paste them here.
