Hello & Welcome to What the Tech

Please Subscribe to this Thread to get immediate notification of replies as soon as they are posted. To do this click Options, then click Track this topic. Make sure it is set to Immediate Email Notification, then click Proceed.

In the meantime please note the following:

• Any recommendations made are for your computer problems only and should NOT be used on any other computer.
• Please DO NOT run any scans/tools or other fixes unless I ask you to. This is very important for several reasons. Here are just two of them:
  1. The tools that we use are very powerful and can cause >>irreparable damage<< to your computer if not used correctly.
  2. Commercial scanners, for the most part can not completely remove some of the more "resistant" infections. This makes it much more difficult to get rid of completely.
• If you get stuck or are unsure of something please ask for a further explanation, do not guess.
• It will require more than one round to properly clean your system. Continue to respond to this thread until I give you the All Clean! even if symptoms seemingly abate.

Please note that the forum is very busy and if I don't hear from you within five days this thread will be closed.
If for any reason you cannot complete instructions within that time, that's fine, just put a post here so that I know you're still here. We get a lot of people who simply leave & if there is no contact for that amount of time I will have to assume you have abandoned your topic.

Thanks
