Before starting, use ERUNT to make an emergency backup of your registry into a folder of your choice, then

1. Download, update, and scan with CCleaner to clean Temporary files, URL history, cookies, Autocomplete form history, index.dat

  • Do not use the "issues" feature with this product
  • Check for updates with this and all other software(s) listed here.
  • 2. Disable System Restore
    3. Perform an online scan virus scan use more then one scanner as each may or may not detect what the other(s) do not.
    4. Download, install, update and scan with (all freeware)....
  • AdAware SE
  • Spybot -Search and Destroy
  • CWShredder™

  • 5. Download, install, update and enable all protection with SpywareBlaster to help keep bad ActiveX from installing, and use SpywareGaurd to provide real-time protection against spyware installation.

    remove all that is found, repeat all steps 3 and 4 until cleaned. If problem(s) persist, post back to this thread for further suggestion.

    install and use Firefox to do most general browsing as it is cleaner to use over IE. reenable system restore after all is cleared up.

    keep us posted if this works or not....just in case, donwload and install Hijackthis and use this procedure how to properly install hjt located here just in case we may need it later.
