turn your system restore OFF<---that is important

go into safe mode...

run avg or malwarebytes
adaware
spybot since you still use it
ccleaner


restart back into safe mode and do it again

if that doesn't work then you will have to find out specifically what you are dealing with and find a walkthrough online thru google

walker has the best answer so far. You have to do this in safe mode or even boot level. I suggest using Hiren's BootCD 15.1 as well.



*I am pretty sure SuperAntispyware 5.0.1134 (07-12-2011) Remove Adware, Malware, Parasites, Rootkits, Spyware, Trojan, and Worms (a must have tool) in safe mode helped me the most while cleaning a friend's computer.

Malwarebytes recently went with a cloaking technology that actually can fool many viruses into not thinking it is antivirus software. This can make it have a chance.

Malwarebytes has been the most reliable one for me for an easy fix (in safe mode!)

My virus SOP is to reinstall windows. It works and rarely does your system work entirely the same with just a virus removal.

was it doing redirects etc to sites you weren't trying to surf to or search for? if so that sounds like the typical tdss rootkit. that usually requires a specifically targeted program to remove completely, i think kaspersky had a decent one free to download. if what you use to remove it doesn't get it all it simply reinstalls itself on your next reboot.

Not to worry, it's a nerf gun. I'm not stupid enough to keep real firearms in the house, not with how much I like to get drunk and stuff. tongue

I did stomp on the computer a couple of times. I should probably video it and put on on youtube or something. It's sitting out there in the snow with it's keys falling off. Serves it right damn thing.

Nah, gave that one to this chick for a xmas present. I paid retail for the piece of crap. Dangit.

THanks for all the good suggestions and help btw. I'm pretty sure some of those thingies you linked too will keep this computer from joining the one out in the yard.
