Great job, it appears your computer is clean
If you have unhidden you “hidden files and folders”, ensure you rehide them 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.
I recommend that you Defrag your computer before setting your Restore points:
Go to start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Defragmentor Make sure it set to the proper drive (default should be your main driver) and click on defragment
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
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 2 good free versions:
(do not have more than one firewall running on your system)
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:
ATF
To help prevent future spyware installations/infections, please read the Anti-Spyware Tutorial and use the tools provided. Also read So how did I get infected in the first place?
