Thanks for all the help you are offering, I started it last night but due to a power failure, my computer shutted off before I could see what happened.

I'll do it again tonight.

Thanks once again for all your support.

All's good, thank you very much. I'll be sure to update Java.

Hope this ends it. Thanks for the prompt replies. Can I uninstall SuperAntiVirus and MalwareByte now?

Hope this ends it. Thanks for the prompt replies. Can I uninstall SuperAntiVirus and MalwareByte now?

You're welcome.
Yup, you can remove them via Add/Remove Programs or you can leave them installed on your system as an On-Demand scanner. It's up to you really.

With that said,


Congratulations, your log is clean!
We have a couple of last steps to perform and then you're all set.

First, let's reset your hidden/system files and folders. System files are hidden for a reason and we don't want to have them openly available and susceptible to accidental deletion.

* Click Start.
* Open My Computer.
* Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
* Select the View tab.
* Under the Hidden files and folders heading UNSELECT Show hidden files and folders.
* CHECK the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
* Click Yes to confirm.
* Click OK.

Then, let's clean your restore points and set a new one:

Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs from changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: (You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected)
1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Restart your computer.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
[/list]
System Restore will now be active again.

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs:

• SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
• IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.

If you don't have one yet, you should install a good firewall. Here are 3 free ones available for personal use:

• Sygate Personal Firewall
• Kerio Personal Firewall
• ZoneAlarm

and a good antivirus (these are also free for personal use):

• AVG Anti-Virus
• Avast Home Edition

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

To keep your operating system up to date visit

• Microsoft Windows Update

monthly. And to keep your system clean run these free malware scanners

• AdAware SE Personal
• Spybot Search & Destroy

weekly, and be aware of what emails you open and websites you visit.

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read this article by Tony Klien: So how did I get infected in the first place?

Goodluck!

[smellybeans3]

Does my ESET Smart Security cover the free ones listed?

I have Spybot and AdAware for on-demand scans.

thanks for all your help, I can browse in peace now. You can close this thread now.

Does my ESET Smart Security cover the free ones listed?

What do you mean?

[smellybeans3]

Firewall, antispyware, antimalware, antivirus

[koko_crunch]

Yup, click here .

Basically, you can install and use them as on-demand scanners or, you can skip it as well.
Hope this helps.
