You're welcome.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
3. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
5. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
6. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
8. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
9. If you are running Win 8, Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below to flush restore points:
   • Refer to the instructions for your WIndows version in this link: Disable And Enable System Restore​
   • What we want you to do is to first disable System Restore to flush restore points some of which could be infected.
   • Then we want you to Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
    • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

Yes many times things like Hao and quite a few others will insert themselves into the shortcut files ( the .lnk files ) that are used to open browsers. And when this happens you have to manually edit them or create new shortcuts.

You're welcome. Surf safely!
