    Hi there,
    grateful if you could assist in removing a malware attack on my PC. Symptoms are a hijack of my hompage to "iehomepages" web site, and random pop ups warning of virus infections.

    I have followed your initial advices on the sticky and attache the relevant logs. Please noet that I was unable to download the "Getrunkey" and "Shownew" zip files from your website as it stated I did not have permission to access these files (I was definetly logged in to your website at the time").

    Thanks in advance.

    Links to "getrunkey" and "shownew" zip files now working. Files attached. Forfot to also mention on initial page that "Bitdefender" would not work for me.

    No help now required!

    Sorted it by using a combination of utilising your advice in your initial help stickies and also by resetting IE Explorer (v7) settings back to default.

    A combination of one or the other has solved my problem.

    Great stuff Scott :)


    I would have a read at some point our guide on How to Protect yourself from malware! and happy safe surfing :)



    as for the Permissions thing, sometimes you need to when logging in have to tick the Remember Me box and that seems to remove those errors.
