First of all download the following programmes: 1.CWShredder 2.Spybot 3.Adaware
Run Program 1 and have it fix anything it finds, then Update 2 & 3, then run both programmes and have them fix anything they find.
When you have run and fixed everything with Spybot Search and Destroy and AdAware, please reboot after scanning, as not everything can be removed when Windows is running
Go to this page, and download 'Hijack This!'.
Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT. You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT. Unzip HijackThis into this folder. When you run HijackThis from this folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary. Please delete the old copy so it can't be used
Launch Hijack This, then press Scan, and press Save Log
This will generate a text file that will list all running processes, all applications that are loaded automatically when you start Windows, and more.
open that file Go to Edit | Select all Now click Edit | copy to copy it
Do not change anything just yet Come back to the forum, Right Click and paste its contents here
Someone will come along and have a look at it, and advise you what still needs to be removed.
Please post your query to the boards as many hands make light work, and I'm not talking electricians! If your problem is solved, let us know so that others can learn.
