Answer:
Firstly update and run your anti-virus product. You can also run a free online scan as well as some malware can actually corrupt or disable your resident security products. Here are a few online scans you can run: Trend - http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ Panda - http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm Norton - http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?langid=ie&venid=sym Second download, update and run scans using the following products: SuperAntispyware http://superantispyware.com/ Spybot S&D (free version requires manual updating) http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/ AVG AntiSpyware http://free.grisoft.com/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5 Adaware from Lavasoft (free version requires automatic updating) http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php (These programs can be run in Safe Mode after downloading and updating) Third, after cleaning your system, disable System Restore, reboot and re-enable System Restore when you log back on. This will clear the malware that may still be lurking in System Restore, which could be reinstalled should you need to rollback at some point. Additionally, a reboot may be required to complete the malware removal process. For reasons this should be done after and not before malware removal, see the webpage below: http://msmvps.com/blogs/spywaresucks/archive/2005/09/17/66724.aspx Lastly, you may also want to install the following tool. It is free and requires you to check for and enable updates manually once a week or so. It uses no system resources. SpywareBlaster (inoculates, not a spyware removal tool) http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html ================================ If you cannot get it removed after the above, you may want to join a tech group that specializes in providing manual instructions on malware eradication.

hi go to http://www.pandasoftware.com use activescan for online scanning .. if it finds some files and won`t delete them (due to commercial reasons that might happen) copy&paste the report on the notepad, search the files and delete them. don't forget to unable your antivirus temporally before online scanning ☆¸.•*¨*`•.ђคשє ค ภเςє ๔คу ¸.•*¨*`•.¸☆ ☆´¨) . ¸.•´ ¸.•*´¨) ☆.(¯`•.•´¯) (.¸.•´ (¸.•` ☆ ¤º.`•.¸.•´ ☆ρคιкєค ¸.•*¨)☆™☆
PCTools products do get good reviews. The good thing is they have free versions of their products. They work great. Spyware Doctor from the Google pack is a must. I highly recommend it. I bought Webroots Spysweeper and spyware doctor finds stuff spysweeper does not. Having both is a perfect combo and I recommend running two anti-spyware products. PCTools Anti-Virus http://www.pctools.com/free-antivirus/ PCTools Threatfire - Malware Protection This free tool makes your current anti-virus better. Definite Download http://www.threatfire.com PCTools Firewall Plus http://www.pctools.com/firewall/ The Google Pack includes a free starter edition of Spyware Doctor. http://pack.google.com/intl/en/pack_installer_new.html?hl=en&gl=us&ai=BZy9nzYgZR_j2KofKmwTgjq3mAezuhSGAyqSDAsWNtwEAEAEgw9-LBTgBUIfas8sEYMnG5YbIo-gZoAGWl5z9A7IBDmZvcmRicmFrZXMuY29tyAEC2gEWaHR0cDovL2ZvcmRicmFrZXMuY29tL4ACAagDAw&gclid=CJu2m5HWnI8CFSUYagodtkXDew&ciNum=11 Reviews http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,136191/article.html --------------------------------------... You can do an online scan for viruses and spyware for free from the major vendors. Some of these require Internet Explorer to run because of Active-X Trend-Micro http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ Computer Associates http://www.ca.com/us/securityadvisor/pestscan/ Panda Software http://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/solutions/activescan/ Symantec Security Check http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/?langid=ie&venid=sym Mcafee Free Scan http://us.mcafee.com/root/catalog.asp?catid=free Kaspersky Scanner http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner Microsoft Protection Scanner http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/center/howsafe.htm?s_cid=mscom_msrt F-Secure http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/olsbeta.shtml BitDefender http://www.bitdefender.com/scan8/ie.html NOD32 http://www.eset.com/onlinescan/index.php --------------------------------------... ANTI-SPYWARE INFORMATION Its good to run two anti-spywares even if some extra resources are taken. SuperAntiSpyware does an excellent job. AVG's full version gets great reviews. Adaware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware Microsoft Defender http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx AVG http://free.grisoft.com/doc/avg-anti-spyware-free/lng/us/tpl/v5 Spyware Terminator 2 http://www.spywareterminator.com/ Spybot Search and Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/ SuperAntispyware http://superantispyware.com/ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Anti-Spyware for a cost. Personally I bought Webroot's Spysweeper, their product is great and well worth the money. Watch Best Buy ads because sometimes it goes on sale for $10 to $15. Webroot Spysweeper http://www.webroot.com/consumer/compare/freeware.html?rc=4929 PCTools Spyware Doctor http://www.pctools.com/spyware-doctor/ --------------------------------------... ANTI-VIRUS INFORMATION There are free anti-virus scanners availble. They work well. I like AVG and PCTools anti-viruses the best of the free anti-virus programs. If you are not willing to spend money it is good to have some kind of anti-virus software avg http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1 avast http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Avira AntiVir http://www.free-av.com/ ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| For a Cost This is my recommendation for anti-virus. Free are good, but they are not as accurate as the top paid anti-virus software Top-Tier Kaspersky http://www.kasepersky.com Nod32 http://www.eset.com/
