Hi CyberHunter

 

Donation sent..

Many thanks, as RandyL said it really is appreciated.

 

There are a few little things we need to do to finish off the cleaning process.

 

Step 1

Restart MBAM.

Click on the Quarantine tab

If there are items in quarantine.....

Make sure everything is selected and then click Delete All.

Close MBAM.

 

Step 2

Please uninstall ComboFix by

Clicking on Start ...then run ... and type in combofix /uninstall (don't forget there's is a gap between x and /) Then press Ok

This action will uninstall Combofix and also perform a few cleanup measures

 

Note:

By default, Windows 7 does not have the "Run" command on the start menu. It's easy to get this back if yours is not there.

 

1. Open the start menu.

2. Right click on a non-icon area and select "Properties".

3. Press the "Customize" button.

4. Scroll down and find the "Run command" checkbox.

5. Check it and press OK.

6. Press OK.

 

You now have your run command on the start menu.

 

 

Step 3

  • Please double-click OTL.exe to run it.
  • You should see a CleanUp! button, press that button,

  • This will cleanup an assortment of tools used during malware removal, plus itself

 

Note:

MBAM will not be removed if it's installed.

 

 

Step 4

Now you should set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one. Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore. Since System Restore is a protected directory, your tools may not access it to delete these bad files which sometimes can reinfect your system. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.

 

Click Start >> Computer >> System Properties >> System Protection.

Here you have a list of hard drives and partitions available in your computer - mostly just one. Select the drive that has "(System)" written after it and click Configure.

select Turn off system protection under Restore Settings and click Delete button.

Click Continue in confirmation window and click Close after the restore points have been deleted.

Then click OK to close properties for the drive.

 

Now reboot the system.

 

Follow the above procedure again, only this time click Restore system settings and previous Versions of files.

Then click OK.

 

Your System restore will now be active again... starting with a new restore point.

 

To find out how you may have been infected....read this topic:

Glad I was able to help.
