Everything is working A OK :thumbup: Once again I would like to express my appreciation for your assistance with my computer problems and if anything happens again I will be sure to ask. Thank you.
Hi Sharmon,

It's important that you follow through with the remainder of the steps I will outline. Absence of symptoms doesn't necessarily translate into malware free. We are making progress so please stay with me until I give you the "all clean" sign. :thumbup:

  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected .
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.

*Note:
  • It is recommended to disable on-board antivirus program and anti-spyware programs while performing scans so there are no conflicts and it will speed up scan time.
  • Please don't go surfing while your resident protection is disabled!
  • Once the scan is finished remember to re-enable your antivirus along with your anti-spyware programs.
Go here to run an online scanner from
ESET

  • Click Start
  • When asked, allow the activex control to install
  • Disable your Antivirus software. You can usually do this with its Notfication Tray icon near the clock
  • Click Start
