    Hi and Welcome

    You need to fully run the read me guide ( posted below ) and then attach the logs to your thread here and the malware experts will be along as soon as they can to assist you in removing the remaining malware left.


    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.
    Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run theREAD & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

    Hi, I'm waiting on help too, and it takes patience, but they get to you eventually...also, just wanted to tell you that the stuff they ask you to run first: that you get the txtfiles from and spybot...that stuff really does work wonders...I had to spend a couple of days getting it to work, but I can't tell you how excited I was when it finally ran, and *caught* the bad stuff, so keep plugging away, load up the txt files, and, then, like me, fight off the urge to bump yer own thread haha...

    Anyway, just wanted to wish you well: this site can take a bit of time, but everything they do has a purpose, and really helps...just leaning how to run, and *upload* those files has taught me a whole lot about taking care of my--and my friend's--computers...
