Scan in safe mode with SUPERAntiSpyware, then Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Once each scan is complete and the malware is quarantined, you should reboot your computer to complete the removal process. Download, install, update and scan with the following free: AVG Free from http://free.avg.com/ - this is an anti-virus, ensure that you only have one anti-virus program installed on your computer You can have multiple anti-spyware/malware/adware programs to scan, ensure they are legitimate. I suggest the following: SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition from http://www.superantispyware.com or download.com Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware... Spybot Search Destroy from http://www.safer-networking.org - activate TeaTimer and ensure that you immunize every time you update (Spybot S D updates on Thursday) Ad-Aware 2008 Free from http://www.lavasoft.com CCleaner is a good tool to run once in awhile http://www.ccleaner.com/ If all else fails I suggest you register with the Spybot Search Destroy Forums and post your problem in the Malware Removal Forum... they are excellent at talking people through the process of cleaning their computers. http://forums.spybot.info/ •35 seconds ago Source(s): http://www.superantispyware.com http://www.safer-networking.org http://forums.spybot.inf
