Looks like this worked, no more virus.

More tracking cookies than ever before, though... But that might be because I've seldom scanned for them before. :D

Thanks for all your help!

Hi Iversen,

You system is clean now. I'm glad we fix up your computer. We need to clean up your PC from programs we used.

Step 1

Please start OTL one more time and click CleanUp button. OTL will restart your system at the end.

Step 2

Here are some recomendations you should follow to minimize infection risk in the future:

1. Your system need one antivirus software. Chose one that suits your needs best. Here are some FREEWARE recomendations:

Avira AntiVir Personal - Free
AVG Free

2. Your system need one firewall software. Chose one that suits your needs best. Here are some FREEWARE recomendations.

ZoneAlarm Pro
Ashampoo Firewall

3. Intall AntiSpyware. You need to have only one realtime antispyware solution running on your system.


4. Enable Windows Update
  • Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then press ENTER.
  • Click the Automatic Updates tab, and then click to select one of the following options. We recommend that you select the Automatic (recommended) Automatically download recommended updates for my computer and install them option.
  • Click OK button

5. Delete Temp files

Download TFC to your desktop
  • Open the file and close any other windows.
  • It will close all programs itself when run, make sure to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Click the Start button to begin the process. The program should not take long to finish its job
  • Once its finished it should reboot your machine, if not, do this yourself to ensure a complete clean

6. Make Backups of Important Files

Please read this article Home Computer Data Backup.


7. Regularly update your software

To eliminate design flaws and security vulnerabilities, all software needs to be updated to the latest version or the vendor’s patch installed.

You should download Update Checker from here. The program will automaticly check for newer version of software installed on your system.
