If so, you're done.<br /><br />If that does not help, reboot again, and choose "Safe Mode" this time. It is likely everything works fine. Perform scans for malware again, in this mode.Tamura Joneshttp://www.tamurajones.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-76725629061573490742010-11-10T22:01:15.756-08:002010-11-10T22:01:15.756-08:00Its malware of course and what you describe can be...Its malware of course and what you describe can be a real pain. Two options here <br /><br />1. You can slave out the hard drive copy all important files and format drive and start over.<br /><br />2. You can peck away at it for a while and see if you can clean it. <br /><br />If yo go that route, you might want to dload a few other programs. I suggest HijackThis, but read this link and I would post your results they ask on that site<br /><br />http://forums.techguy.org/virus-other-malware-removal/943214-everyone-must-read-before-posting.html<br /><br />What are some of the other symptoms on the computer.

When the new version came out, various sites stopped working. It made an awful mess when I tried to update it. To clean that up, I had to uninstall Flash using a utility downloaded from the Flash site, and then reinstall it in the latest version. Had to update to IE8, too. <br /><br />Good luck.Gerry Sellhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
