Hi there let me see what you have

GMER Rootkit Scanner - Download - Homepage
[*] Download GMER
[*] Extract the contents of the zipped file to desktop.
[*] Double click GMER.exe.

[*] If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run a full scan...click on NO, then use the following settings for a more complete scan..
[*] In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Ensure the following are UNCHECKED ...

• IAT/EAT
• Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
• Show All (don't miss this one)
  
  Click the image to enlarge it

• Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
• Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "ark.txt"
• Save the log where you can easily find it, such as your desktop.

**Caution**Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries
Please copy and paste the report into your Post.

THEN

Download OTL to your Desktop

• Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
• Click on Minimal Output at the top
• Download the following file scan.txt to your Desktop. Click here to download it. You may need to right click on it and select "Save"
• Double click inside the Custom Scan box at the bottom
• A window will appear saying "Click Ok to load a custom scan from a file or Cancel to cancel"
• Click the Ok button and navigate to the file scan.txt which we just saved to your desktop
• Select scan.txt and click Open. Writing will now appear under the Custom Scan box
• Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  
• When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
• Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time and post them in your topic
