How is the computer running now? Please run one last scan for me:

Using Internet Explorer or Firefox, visit Kaspersky Online Scanner

1. Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.

2. To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:

• Close any open programs
• Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan. Click HERE to see how to disable the most common antivirus programs.

3. Click Run at the Security prompt.

The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database.
Please be patient as this can take quite a long time to download.

• Once the update is complete, click on Settings.
• Make sure these boxes are checked (ticked). If they are not, please tick them and click on the Save button:
  • Spyware, adware, dialers, and other riskware
  • Archives
  • E-mail databases
• Click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
• Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
• Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
• Click View report... at the bottom.
• Click the Save report... button.
  
  
  
  
• Change the Files of type dropdown box to Text file (.txt) and name the file KasReport.txt to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply

Please include the following in your next post:

Right, it appears that the malware disabled System Restore. We will get that now, along with some other cleanup and housekeeping:

Turn on System Restore

1. Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. In the System Properties dialog box, click the System Restore tab.
3. Click to clear the Turn off System Restore check box. Or, click the Turn off System Restore on all drives check box.
4. Click OK.

Your Adobe reader needs to be updated. Please visit Adobe's site and grab the newest version.

Go HERE to scan for any other out of date and/or vulnerable applications on your computer and follow the instructions given for updating them.

Clean up with OTL:

• Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
• Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
• On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
• Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.
• Manually delete any remaining logs or tools.

Finally, I'd like to make a couple of suggestions to help you stay clean in the future:

• Restart any anti-malware programs that we disabled while we were cleaning your machine.
• Keep your antivirus application current and updated. Also, hang on to MBAM. Scan with them at least weekly.
• Avoid using P2P programs. Refer back to my earlier post for more information.
• Consider running in a limited user account. See this post for more information.
• Please carefully review the information in our Preventing Malware and Safe Computing thread located HERE

Please post once more so I know you are all set and I can close this thread. Good luck and stay safe!
