PSW.Agent.ASTO Help [Solved]

Alright, I'm not sure what was causing IE to use so much CPU for well over 30 minutes, but it is now operating normally. Thanks again, it is looking good.

Glad to hear it. Let's cleanup our mess.

Time for some housekeeping

• Click START then RUN
• Now type ComboFix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK.
• Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.

The above procedure will:

• Implement some cleanup procedures.
• Reset System Restore.

• Double click on OTL to run it.
• Click on CleanUp!
• When done, you will be prompted to restart your computer. Please restart your computer.

Please re-enable any security that was disabled.


The following is my standard advice for the future. Use what you can and pat yourself on the back for what you're already doing.

Please take time to read Preventing Malware - Tools and Practices for Safe Computing. Very important information for your consideration is contained therein.
