    Scan for malware
     
    Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from HERE.
     
     
    Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
    • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
    • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
    • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
    • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. If you are prompted to restart, please allow it to restart your computer. Failure to do this, will cause the infection to still be active on the computer.
    • Please save the log to a location you will remember.
    • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
    • The log can also be found at C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt or at C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt
    • Copy and paste the entire report in your next reply.


    Malwarebytes' Anti-Rootkit

    Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Rootkit and save it to your desktop.
    • Be sure to print out and follow the instructions provided on that same page for performing a scan.
    • Caution: This is a beta version so also read the disclaimer and back up all your data before using.
    • When the scan completes, click on the Cleanup button to remove any threats found and reboot the computer if prompted to do so.
    • Perform another scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit to verify that no threats remain. If they do, then click Cleanup once more and repeat the process.
    • If there are problems with Internet access, Windows Update, Windows Firewall or other system issues, run the fixdamage tool located in the folder Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit was run from and reboot your computer.
    • Two files (mbar-log-YYYY-MM-DD, system-log.txt) will be created and saved within that same folder.
    • Copy and paste the contents of these two log files in your next reply.
