    Hi,

    I am looking for some guidance to remove the malware. I tried to remove surfkick 3 via the forum but got stuck on one of the proceedures. I seem to have a lot of problems here.

    Thanks for your help.

    When I tried to download and run the lookme2 vm2 file it never came back after a minute.

    What do I do now?

    Some of the other malware that you have could be blocking it. Just skip that step for now and run the rest of what is in my message. We will go from there. Make sure you install HijackThis properly and the you stop using MSconfig to control startups! This is all covered in the link given in step 7 of the READ & RUN ME.
