Hi Ed,
We'll deal with Freedom in a bit. First, I'd like you to try this online scanner and see if it works for you:
Please perform an online scan with Internet Explorer at
Kaspersky Online Scanner
Answer Yes, when prompted to install an ActiveX component.
- The program will then begin downloading the latest definition files.
- Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT
- Locate the Scan Settings button & configure to:
- Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
- Scan Options:
- Scan Archives
- Scan Mail Bases
- Click OK & have it scan My Computer
- Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
- Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply
**Note for Internet Explorer 7 users**
If at any time you have trouble with the accept button of the licence, click on the Zoom tool located at the right bottom of the IE window and set the zoom to 75 %. Once the license accepted, reset to 100%.
What System Restore points do you have available?
Click Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools
- Select System Restore
- Next, select 'Restore my computer to an earlier time'
- Are there any bolded dates close to just before all these problems began.
