Install Malwarebytes and Spybot Search & Destroy.

You might have to do everything, (install, update, scan, etc), in Safe Mode

with Networking.

All info below.

And scan with your AV as well while there.

 

http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

 

Spybot Search & Destroy 1.6 is a very good, FREE Anti-Spyware Program.

Download, install, update, and immunize your System with it.

Then SCAN with it.

Update it, and scan your System once a fortnight.

 

http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

 

Malwarebytes is as the name says, a Malware Remover!

For the Free version scroll down their page to either download from

Download.com, or Major Geeks.com

 

Download, install, and update.

 

Important re: Safe Mode

If you happen to find a problem that you can’t uninstall / delete, reboot

the computer, and go into Safe Mode.

To get into Safe mode, tap F8 right at Power On / Startup, and use UP arrow

key to get to Safe Mode from list of options, then hit ENTER.

RESCAN your computer with your Anti-Virus, Malwarebytes and Spybot S & D

while in Safe Mode.

 

If unable to install above Programs in Normal Mode:

Sometimes Trojans, Viruses, Malware, etc stop you installing and/or updating

Programs to remove them.

If that happens, reboot into Safe Mode with Networking, and install, update

and scan from there.

Your system is infected with a rogue antivirus program. It is called "rogue"

because it pretends to be A Good Guy but is really Evil. Do not pay them!

These may work for you and all may be well. However, in many cases the

computer will also be infected with Zlob and/or Vundo trojans and protected

by a rootkit. These machines are extremely difficult to clean.

 

If your machine is one of these cases, either get guided help at one of the

specialty forums below OR back up your data and do a clean install of

Windows. It is your choice. If you are unsure how to back up your data or

how to do a clean install, you can take your machine to a local computer

professional. I don't recommend using BigComputerStore/GeekSquad types of

places.
