Hi ganni666

Before we begin the cleanup process, it is important to do a little analysis first. We will analyze your computer with a tool called HijackThis.

Please download the HijackThis zip file. Save it onto a convenient place in your computer, and then unzip the file.

Rename HijackThis(.exe) to scanner(.exe).

Next, run scanner(.exe). A window will pop up.

? Click on the button which says Main Menu, then Do a system scan and save a logfile.
? Please wait for the scan to be completed.
? After the scan has completed, a text window will pop up. Please post the contents of this window here.

This will also be located at hijackthis(.txt) in the same folder that HijackThis was originally saved.

NOTE:: Do not fix anything using HijackThis, as this may also damage legitimate components of your computer.

Best Regards :D

Hi ganni666

Malwarebytes is an antispyware, similar to an antivirus, except that it scans for spyware. If it detects the spyware you have, it will remove it.

Hey ganni666

Please follow the last part of my instructions, so that I can see if Malwarebytes removed all the infections shown in your HijackThis log.
