fingerz,

I'm not sure what to tell you about Outpost. I'd check with their support or you could start a new topic in our Software Forum.

Before you do that though, we have some important clean up work to do:

🖼Click to load external image (Posted Image) Your Adbobe reader needs to be updated. Please visit Adobe's site and grab the newest version.

Go HERE to scan for any other out of date and/or vulnerable applications on your computer and follow the instructions given for updating them.

🖼Click to load external image (Posted Image) Now, let’s update your operating system:
  • Click Start -> All Programs -> Windows Update or go to This site
  • In the left pane, click on Check for Updates
  • Download and install all updates labeled Critical, Important or Recommended.
  • Repeat these steps until no more Critical, Important or Recommended updates appear.
  • In the left pane, click on Change Settings. Choose Install updates automatically and pick a time that works for you. Also check the box in the Recommended updates section.
🖼Click to load external image (Posted Image) Uninstall ComboFix
  • Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard or click Start -> Run. Copy and past the following text into the run box that opens:
    Combofix /Uninstall

🖼Click to load external image (Posted Image) Cleanup with OTM
  • Double-click OTM.exe to start the program.
  • Close all other programs apart from OTM as this step will require a reboot
  • On the OTM main screen, press the CLEANUP button
  • Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.
🖼Click to load external image (Posted Image) Finally, I'd like to make a couple of suggestions to help you stay clean in the future:
  • Restart any anti-malware programs that we disabled while we were cleaning your machine.
  • Manually delete any remaining logs or tools from our fixes.
  • Keep your antivirus application current and updated. Also, hang on to MBAM. Scan with them at least weekly.
  • Avoid using P2P programs, cracks and keygens! Refer back to my earlier post for more information.
  • Consider running in a limited user account. See this post for more information.
  • Please carefully review the information in our Security - Best Practices and Prevention forum located HERE
Please post once more so I know you are all set and I can close this thread. Good luck and stay safe!
