    Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer. I am working under the guidance of one of the specialist of this forum so it may take a bit longer to process your logs.

    1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
    2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
    3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
    4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
    5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
    6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
    7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

    If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.

    We are going to be using a Windows Recovery Environment to help disinfect the system so it may boot again.

    Download the OTLPE Standard REATOGO Windows Recovery Environment.
      Place a blank CD-R disc in to your CD burning drive.Download
    OTLPEStd.exe and double-click on it to burn to a CD using the ISO Burner.Reboot your system using the boot CD you just created.

    Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps here
    Your system should now display a REATOGO-X-PE desktop.
    Double-click on the OTLPE icon.
    When asked "Do you wish to load the remote registry", select Yes
    When asked "Do you wish to load remote user profile(s) for scanning", select Yes
    Ensure the box "Automatically Load All Remaining Users" is checked and press OK
    OTL should now start. Change the following settings
    • Change Drivers to Non-Microsoft
      Press Run Scan to start the scan.
      When finished, the file will be saved  in drive C:\_OTL\MovedFiles
      Copy this file to your USB drive if you do not have internet connection on this system
      Please post the contents of the OTL.txt file in your reply.
