Hi,

I'll be more clear. I was trying to save you a reboot.

That was a 2-step process. I wanted you to delete that file first as I suspected it would delete quietly in Normal Mode, then you could move along smoothly to the FixWareOut instructions.

The WareOut infection needs a specialty tool to clean it properly. So, you were correct in deleting that file, now we need to run the FixWareout tool. Post that log when you get it.
