Hi, I hope I'm doing this right. If not, please let me know where to ask this. I already followed the instructions that I found on this post: http://forums.whatthetech.com/infected_computer_t86591.html I'm having all the same problems as the person in that post (desktop image change, popups, computer running slow, it wants me to install a spyware scan program which I did but it wants me to buy it and I don't want to do that.)

I'll insert my SDFix Report, CCleaner Uninstall List, and Hijack This Log now. I'm totally new to all this so step-by-step help would be really appreciated! Right now I'm really stuck. Thank you so much for any help!

to reach safe mode you would tap the f8 key during a computer restart, chose the first option from the list: SAFE MODE.
you should copy/paste this part into notepad and save it somewhere so you can read it in safe mode.

safe mode part:
to help show all files do this:
FOr XP: on the desktop double click my computer,go to tools>folder options>view> then select "show hidden files and folders", then UNcheck "hide protected operating system files " also UNcheck "hide extensions for known file types" click apply to all folders, apply then ok

navigate to:
C:\Program Files
your looking for a folder called; Gtlyi with this .exe inside the folder: Mkjoakq.exe
delete the entire folder

next go to the C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1 (program files\ common files)
look for a folder named: fzmz with a .exe inside the folder: \fzmzm.exe, delete the entrie folder

last go to the
C:\WINDOWS dir, click on name at the top to sort and look for and delete the following if present

io43mvuiw4kj.exe
lockx.exe
—————————————–
