    Answer by hightechlover
    Well, the best way is to reinstall the whole computer.

    You can use the following to try to repair the damage.
    SuperAntiSpyware and AntiMalware to scan for further infections.
    COMODO System Cleaner to clear bad registries.
    CCleaner and Defraggler to clear, reorganize your hard disk.

    Answer by Jamie
    I would suggest that you run both an antivirus scan, as well as an antispyware scan.

    If you need a free antivirus program, you may want to try using AVG, which can be downloaded from the link below.

    If you need a free antispyware program, you may want to try using AdAware, which can be downloaded from the link below.

    Good luck and I hope I helped you!

    Make sure that you run your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs in safe mode. Then I would try to back up any files that aren’t corrupted then use the restore disk to repair the damage

    Answer by Tarogasini
    This should solve your problem :

    ♣ AntiVir Avira ( highest detection rate among all antiviruses, 99,6% )
    ♣ ClamWin
    ♣ ThreatFire ( both being an addition programs to anti-viruses, with strong on demand scanner )

    How to configure Avira correctly : http://www.ecuhq.com/tested-programs-how-to-use-f32/antivir-personal-edition-classic-how-to-use-t143.htm

    How to configure ClamWin : http://www.ecuhq.com/tested-programs-how-to-use-f32/clamwin-free-antivirus-how-to-use-t140.htm

    Also 2 antispyware tools, just in case :

    ♣ Malwarebytes AntiMalware
    ♣HijackThis

    HijackThis is extremely useful for removing their registry entries. When everything else fails, HijackThis might solve the problem. Especially if combined with ComboFix. However that tool is not advised to novice computer users.

    How to use HijackThis : http://www.ecuhq.com/tested-programs-how-to-use-f32/hijackthis-how-to-use-t67.htm

    All available at :

    http://www.softpedia.com

    http://sourceforge.net/

    How to run in Safe Mode : http://www.ecuhq.com/security-f5/run-com…

    You could also try going back in time : http://www.ecuhq.com/tricks-f6/create-a-system-restore-point-checkpoint-t28.htm

    If this has been happening for some time now, dont bother going back, but simply destroy all restore points, since virus may be backed up inside.

    1. Click Start / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore
    2. Look on the left and click on : “System Restore Settings”
    3. Check a box, at : “Turn off System Restore on all drives”
    4. Click Apply / Yes / Ok

    5. Click Start / Accessories / System Tools / System Restore
    6. Click Yes
    7. Uncheck that box
    8. Apply / Ok

    However, it depends on how serious the problem is. Viruses are tied with system files. Once they are deleted, bits of system files might be deleted as well. That can result in corrupted programs and things just dont working as they should. If i would be you, i d simply reformat. It only takes 2 hours to reformat, install all drivers, security packs and security software.

    Hope it helped.

    Ok…first…download malwarebytes (FREE version) Super AntiSpyware (FREE version) Comodo Internet Security Suite FREE)…update each of them first…reboot computer into safe mode and run a few scans….if you have trouble now connecting to the internet…reboot PC into safe mode with networking and download the programs but reboot into plain safe mode..reason being you don’t want any network connection sending any info from your computer…e-mail me with any other questions you may have
