Hello, and welcome to Computer Hope.
Please note the following information about the malware forum:
- Only the Malware Specialist Team is allowed to give advice on removing malware from your computer.
- From this point on, please do not make any more changes to your computer; such as install/uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc. - unless advised by the staff I noted above.
- Please do not ask for help elsewhere (in this site or other sites). Doing so can result in system changes, which may not show up in the logs you post.
- If you have already asked for help somewhere, please post the link to the topic you were helped.
- We try our best to reply quickly, but for any reason we do not reply in two days, reply to this topic with the word BUMP
- Lastly, keep in mind that we are volunteers, so you do not have to pay for malware removal. Persist in this topic until its close, and your computer is declared clean.
