Please go here:

Malware Removal Guide

Run all the programmes as advised then post a current Hijack This Log in a new topic in the Malware Forum

For the purpose of accurate malware analysis, Hijack This Logs are only dealt with in the Malware Forum. Posting them anywhere else will result in a delayed response

If you are unable to run any of the programmes, ask for advice in the Malware Forum

Try changing the download site to safernetworking europe 1

If no change, continue with the guide, post the HJT Log in the malware forum and explain you were unable to run Spybot

The malware team will contact you direct

If you still have a problem after getting the all clear from them, start a new topic and explain you have already been with the malware team

You can remove anything but XP but then that probably wasn't in your list anyway

Apart from Windows XP you can remove anything you like, it is best to deal with the malware because it will affect any changes you try now
