Hi pspeter Before we begin the cleanup process, it is important to do a little analysis first. We will analyze your computer with a tool called HijackThis. Please download the HijackThis zip file. Save it onto a convenient place in your computer, and then unzip the file. Rename HijackThis(.exe) to scanner(.exe). Next, run scanner(.exe). A window will pop up. • Click on the button which says Main Menu, then Do a system scan and save a logfile. • Please wait for the scan to be completed. • After the scan has completed, a text window will pop up. Please post the contents of this window here. This will also be located at hijackthis(.txt) in the same folder that HijackThis was originally saved. NOTE:: Do not fix anything using HijackThis, as this may also damage legitimate components of your computer. Best Regards
