You're welcome!

This problem came back again. Should I follow the same procedure in removing this malware?

[Dr Jay]

Please download the GMER Rootkit Scanner. Unzip it to your Desktop.

Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while the scan is being performed. Do not use your computer for anything else during the scan.

Double-click gmer.exe. The program will begin to run.

**Caution**
These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries unless advised!

If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan.

• Click NO
  
• In the right panel, you will see a bunch of boxes that have been checked ... leave everything checked and ensure the Show all box is un-checked.
  
• Now click the Scan button.

Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.

• Click OK.
• GMER will produce a log. Click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "GMER.txt"
  
• Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop.

Post the contents of GMER.txt in your next reply.

I dont know what s going on with my computer, but the original problem disappeared and new one came. Now, the computer is working very very slow, and programs are taking way too long to open up. Even as I am typing this message it freezes every 5 seconds then comes back to normal. its like its on for 5 secs then freezes. Is this still a malware problem?

[bryan234]

Never mind. I did a system restore and it fixed this problem. thanks again Dragonmaster. There seems to be no malware.

[Dr Jay]

OK. No problem at all.
