4. Download all three files to a folder on your desktop. Extract both zip files to the same folder. double click the sysclean file and follow the prompt. Click on the advanced button underneath for more options prior to scanning.

16. After all this and your system is still compromised/infected, Start your PC in "Safe Mode"

a. Do a full system scan with all mentioned software in this article.
b. Please note that some programs don?t support safe mode and will not function.
