Thanks

I decided to play around with this a bit, I usually do that with new virii and worms I encounter. After trying these thorough instructions, I decided to use the program the says will fix this. Trust me, I did not feel good going to a site that makes programs I despise, I willingly downloaded their product, "pctuneup" uninstaller. I ran it, and too much surprise, it worked.... Right now my mouth is wide open, I have lost any confidence I had with computers, and am questioning my common sense. I am not a sales rep or anything, but oh my god. Of course I uninstalled and any trace of it from my computer immediately afterwards, then followed with running a few adaware scans. Once again, thanks for your support. The place where I went to download this was

If anyother people in need read this, please do not follow my advice until a trusted helper varifies. Although I am confident in my computer skills, it is not my place to give advice.


If I have more problems I can't figure out, this will be my first stop. Thanks.

It may have gotten rid of it and it may have just Hid stuff. We do not recommend that you go to the place that infected you to remove what they put on your machine. I hope you read the License agreement closely.

Glad your clean. Good Luck and happy surfing.

Great job, it appears your computer is clean

Ensure you rehide your “hidden files and folders” back to the way they were.

Now that your system is Malware Free, it is important to reset your system Restore. Click Here to learn how to.

Might I suggest the following Free Spyware programs, if you don't already have them, for added security, you can download them at the following links. These programs work great for detection:

Ad-aware SE
Spybot S&D
Microsoft Anti-Spyware


If you are unhappy with your current antivirus and want to replace it or if you dont already have one, I suggest one of these free programs:
*Note - do not use more than one anti-virus program as it will more than likely cause conflict.

AVG
Avast
AntiVir


The following free programs are great for prevention:

SpywareBlaster 3.4
Spywareguard
IE/Spyad

A Firewall is a must! Here are 3 good free versions:
(do not have more than one firewall running on your system)

Sygate
Kerio
ZoneLabs

There are other options other than Internet Explorer for a browser, which some say have better security. Two of them are:

Firefox
Opera

If you decide to keep Internet Explorer, This site is a great source for tightening up security on It's settings.

Make sure that you keep your Operating System and IE updated with the latest Critical Security Updates from Microsoft...they usually come out once a month, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.

Be sure and give the Temp folders a cleaning out now and then as well, Make sure after you clean your Temp files to empty out your Recycle bin as well.
For ease use the following program:

Cleanup
Run "Cleanup" and when it has finished, Reboot
