    I'll try that malware removal help.  I had a virus before and I took this stupid thing to Best Buy to fix it.  It cost me 300 dollars! I have anti "Trend Micro Antivirus" on this thing and I run it when I'm supposed to.  I don't know how it happened again. Stupid piece of crap.

      I'll try it tomorrow since it's getting late and after reading the page it looks like it might take awhile.

      All right.

      I suggest downloading SuperAntiSpyware and let it run its scan overnight (step 3)

            Just start a Step 3.  ;)

            We need steps 3, 4, and 6 to look over and analyze.
            Steps 3 and 4 may take a while, which is why I suggested you to do them overnight.

              I don't understand this......."Below are steps to begin the malware removal process. The steps will produce three logs which are requested to be added in your post."

                Basically download SAS (superantispyware) and follow the steps to get it to run a scan.
                When the scan is complete, it will generate a log. Post the log here and continue with the next step (malwarebytes')

                  All right. ;)

                  If it makes you feel better, I've done all this too.  8)

                    ok, i did the superspyware, and ran it. It found a couple of things and quarentined them. I never saw a "log."  Sould I do step 4 now? What does it mean "alternate download link (.exe) in step 4?
