Just do a restore from backup. You do have one, right?

There's just been a very serious penetration into our WOPR Execution Order file.

Run CCleaner
Run Malwarebytes full scan
Run Super anti-spyware full scan
Run Spybot Seek and destroy
Run ADW Cleaner
Run CCleaner again

Download those programs from filehippo and bleeping computer. Make sure they update virus definitions. Restart computer and press F8 a bunch of times until it let's you choose to start in Safe Mode. Then, run all of those programs

For CCleaner, go to tools and then startup. Post a screenshot here. Select each heading like Windows, Firefox, IE, Chrome, and post those here. Someone will tell you what to disable. After you disable those, go to tools and I think programs. Post a screenshot. Someone will tell you what to uninstall. Then you will actually run CCleaner the first time. The second time around do the same as above, but everything should be gone.

I've only had one virus that wasn't gone after doing all of that. ComboFix got rid of it that time. That process should take the better part of 3 hours with a really fast computer. For a slow one, it'll take a day. All of your bad shite will be gone then

I downloaded Spyware and did a full scan. it said that I have 550 potential; threats. It wanted me to register and "repair" these for $40 but I read elsewhere that Spyware doesn't remove all the malware.

It is called SuperAntiSpyware, and I haven't ever paid for it. You should be able to click "continue unregistered" or something like that when it opens up. After it is open, you shouldn't be asked to pay at all

Here are the steps for SAS:









Then, you're done and can close the program. That was every step from start to finish, but I did not upgrade to the pro version or whatever. Maybe you did that, but I don't know. That is step-by-step how it goes on my computer

Well, I accidentally deleted the pics when I was cleaning my photobucket acct. Will post again in a bit

Thanks!!! I'll try this when I get home.
The spyware I downloaded would not remove the threats without registering. In order to register, I had to buy it.
I used that link that was provided in an earlier post.

I haven't ever gotten anything bad from filehippo or bleeping computer. I use them mainly because you can download a lot of up-to-date stuff off of the same website. It is easy to search, but you can also go to the individual websites.

With those programs, don't use the pro version because they will all want money, and don't mistake "upgrade" for "update". All of them are free and I used every one last night. The only one of those that it kind of a PITA is Malwarebytes. They have a new interface that is harder to navigate than the old version

Run them in the order I said in the above post
