I have attached the removal tool in a zipped folder as you are having problems obtaining it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You will need to make a copy of these instructions because you have to disconnect from the internet to complete the fix. Either print them out or copy and paste them into Notepad.

Preparation

1) Download the Gromozon Rootkit Removal Tool - prevxremovaltool.exe from here and save it to your Desktop.

2) You will need to know how to boot into Safe Mode.
Instructions can be found here.

3) Log off from the internet and disconnect your modem cable for the duration of the fix.

Removal

1) Boot into Safe Mode.

2) Double click prevxremovaltool.exe to run the tool.
  • Click Scan to begin.
  • Once it locates the infection it will tell you that it is going to reboot and remove the infection.
  • Allow it to restart and wait for the tool to finish the job.
  • If prompted, downloading and installing Prevx1 is optional.
Post a fresh HJT log AND a description of how your PC is running.

Attached Files

thank you for the response first of all.For some reason my computer will not even open the file.i even tried they command prompt method.For some reason this trojan.linkoptimizer thing will not let me access anything to do with it.I don't know what the icon is suppose to look like but it looks like a pc tower heating up,then it has a exclamaion mark in a yellow triangle.it gives me no error codes when i double click it it just does nothing at all.Should i just back up and reboot?

I don't know what the icon is suppose to look like but it looks like a pc tower heating up,then it has a exclamaion mark in a yellow triangle.

That's the one.

The opening screen appears instantly, so you'll know if it works or not. Reboot and then try the following:

1) Change the name of the removal tool to whatever you like as long as it has the .exe file extension on the end - the name makes no difference to the tool's actions.
2) If that doesn't work, change the file extension to .com and see if this gets things moving.

Let me know how you get on.

That is not working.I tried both suggestions but in properties it has prevx as the company so unless i changed all of that "which i wouldn't know where to begin" it will still recognize the prevx name.Have you heard of this before?Any other suggestions would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks

Download the Trojan.Linkoptimizer Removal Tool by Symantec from here and save it to your Desktop.
  • Disconnect the PC from the internet.
  • Double click FixLinkopt.exe.
    • Accept the EULA.
    • Click Start.
  • Reboot the PC
  • Run the tool again.
Let me know if you have more success with this tool.

I have also tried this link. it says "the page cannot be displayed "but yet i can go to any other website fine.For some reason it will not let me even open a link that has anything to do with repairing it.Ive started to back up my critical files for a reboot,but i'll wait until you give the word.
