Hi dee23



I will be helping you on removing malwares on your computer. Log research takes time, so please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following:

• The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine.
• Do not install/uninstall anything on your computer unless advised.
• Do not run any other scanning tools other than those instructed for you to use.
• Follow the instructions on the order they are given.
• Stay with this thread until advised when your computer is clean. Absence of symptoms does not necessarily mean a clean computer.
• If you are being helped regarding this problem on another forum please advice us so that we can close this thread.
• And lastly, if you have any questions, please ask before proceeding with any of the advised fixes.
