Hello and welcome to TomCoyote forum. If you still need help and are not receiving it elsewhere, try this:

Download the trial version of Spy Sweeper from Here

Install it using the Standard Install option. (You will be asked for your e-mail address, it is safe to give it. If you receive alerts from your firewall, allow all activities for Spy Sweeper)

You will be prompted to check for updated definitions, please do so.
(This may take several minutes)

Click on Options > Sweep Options and check Sweep all Folders on Selected drives. Check Local Disc C. Under What to Sweep, check every box.

Click on Sweep and allow it to fully scan your system.

When the sweep has finished, click Remove. Click Select All and then Next

From 'Results', select the Session Log tab. Click Save to File and save the log somewhere convenient.

Exit Spy Sweeper.

Restart your computer, and then please copy and paste the SpySweeper log into this thread, along with a new HJT log.

Thanks…pskelley

Thats great :) Please post the two logs requested and be very sure you rebooted the computer after the fix, or the item will return. The fix was for the specific infection and there may be more to remove with HJT? I also have some great information to help you stay clean once I am sure you are.

Thanks…Phil


Request for the logs was ignored, here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
