Your computer is very infected, and your antivirus program doesn't help us much. You will need to uninstall McAfee and then we will try with another antivirus which is free and very good. Also you will need to install firewall too. Please follow the steps bellow:
First go HERE and download Comodo Firewall Pro, double click the setup icon and install the program, after your done with the installation click on the Security tab, then in the right corner down click on Scan for known applications. Comodo will scan for known applications, after its done with scanning click the Finish button you will be asked to restart Comodo Firewall, click on OK button and restart Comodo.
Next, please go HERE and download avast! 4 Home Edition to your desktop.
Next, uninstall McAfee from ADD/Remove Programs, reboot your computer, after you are done with uninstalling McAfee, locate the file that you downloaded before, double-click on the file to launch the installation of avast!
Click Next on the avast! Setup window and on the next window with the ReadMe File.
Now you will see the Legal Agreement, just click I agree, and then click Next to continue.
You will be prompted with Configuration window, make sure that you choose Typical configuration and then click Next. Click Next to the windows that will follow, when the installation will finish, you will be given an option to schedule a boot time scan, select No
Now you have to restart your machine, select Restart and then click Finish.
After you restart you will get a message about avast! it will give you the general "Hello and Thank you for choicing our Product." Also after you restart you will notice 2 new icons in the bottom right corner of the screen.
VERY IMPORTANT - after restarting, you will see two new tray icons
right click on the a icon in the taskbar and select Updating, then highlight and click Program.You will get a warning from your firewall that avast! needs connection to internet please allow it.
You will get popup after its done updating. If avast! had to download anything for your computer you may get a message asking you to restart.
After you have updated avast! right click the small icon a in task bar and click Start Avast! AntiVirus
Click Program Registration and you will be taken to their website. Fill out the form and then check you e-mail. Once you get an e-mail from them (usually about 1 minute after submitting the form) copy and paste the serial they provided into the highlighted box. Then click ok.
After this, you will need to Schedule Boot-Time Scan with avast! Click on the little button placed up in the left corner, and select Schedule Boot-Time Scan.
Next, choose
- Scan all local disks
- scan archive files
- click on Schedule
Now avast! will restart your computer and start to scan before Windows fully loads. If detects infections while boot time scaning, you will be given choices for actions, choose move to chest actions and don't delete anything.
IMPORTANT NOTE since your system has infections on it, avast! will give you dialog box with recommended actions, and options, please make sure if this happens, to click the Move to Chest button, and not to delete any reported files.
Finally when the scan will finish the computer will boot in Normal Mode, then using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\report\aswBoot.txt double click on aswBoot.txt it will open Notepad with report of the scan, please copy and paste the report in this thread.
