***

Reboot back to normal mode.

Let me know how things are now.

Ok, I'll get to that later today, expect a response to that late tonight. Thank you.l

[g2i2r4]

Take your time, I'll be back tomorrow.

[C-GHOST]

Alright, I can get my E-Mail and AIM to come up now, but I still get redirected to sites I didn't ask to go to sometimes.

[g2i2r4]

First we will need to download a few tools that will help us in the removal of your problem.

Download about:buster by RubbeRDuckY.
Download CWShredder.

Save all of these files somewhere you will remember like to the Desktop.

Run the CleanUp! installer. You dont need to do anything with it right now.

• Click Start and then OK to allow AboutBuster to scan for Alternate Data Streams.
• Click Yes to allow it to shutdown explorer.exe.
• It will begin to check your computer for malicious files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
• When it has finished, click Save Log. Make sure you save it as I may need a copy of it later.
• Reboot your computer into safe mode again

***

Run about:buster again following the same instructions as above, this time without the restart at the end.

***

Now run CWShredder. Click I Agree, then Fix and then Next, let it fix everything it asks about.
