I think there's something on my pc. I cannot open Malawarebytes go to antivirus websites or download windows updates. I can go to other sites just not anything antivirus related.

Windows also has updates but when I switch off and update they still don't go on.

I can scan malawarebytes in chameleon mode and nothing comes up at all. Affter reading online in many places I followed a guide and managedd to download combofix that actually seemed to work because I went online and did a test by going to an antivirus website. It opened the page straight away so I thought it was all fixed and swited off the pc in order for te windows updates to be put on. But when I switched the pc back on the sites were restricted again!!!! I tried again with combofix but it didn't work.

Please can someone help me. I am not good with computers, I need step by step guides. Thanks

I can get to sites like filehippo to download stuff but anyting with an antivirus title I cannot so I need to source things from other places if I need to download software to get rid of this

Still have the problem.

Cannot access any antivirus webbsites
Cannot upddate Windows
Cannot update Miccrosoft Seccurity Essentials and that is now out of date
Get a pop up phishing box on barclays online banking website.
Computer running very slow
Cannot open Malawarebytes

We tried combofix. It seemed to work because we could then access antivirus websites but then 2 minutes later the problem was back. Tried Combofix again but no joy.

Ran Superantispyware. This turned up 16 Trojan agent gen nullo short. Sacn finished we clicked to remove these, rebooted as required. problem seemed fixed as again we could access antivirus websites. However went to update security essentials and it failed. Then checked antivirus websites and cannot get to them again.

Just tried to run OTL as requested and it has frozen. It came up saying list index out of bounds. Then I closed that box and now it's frozen on scanning chrome settings.

I am at a loss of what to do. Also when giving instructions please be aware I know nothing about computers so I need step by step guides if I have to do anything.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
