All of the above advice is correct and good, the only addition to software suggestions I have is Adaware, which is free as well. However, I suggest burning your system completely with a full reformat, which is what angotango suggested.

Then make sure it doesn't happen again - as well as AVG I run Spybot Search & Destroy and Zone Alarm (both can be had for free) but also a good tip is to make sure you only have admin rights set on a separate admin account (that you only use when needed - I hardly ever user it, but keep the password handy) and keep all the general accounts set as normal users, that way nasty things will struggle to install anything or altering settings.]]> Dear god, help me! http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254226#Comment_254226 2010-08-09T18:11:05-07:00 2010-08-09T18:17:14-07:00 Finagle http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=5254 Disclaimer: I work for an IT outfit that does this sort of thing. 0.

0. Optionally set your DNS settings to use OpenDNS.com as your DNS servers. This will help prevent reinfection during and after cleaning.
1. Grab yourself a copy of the Antimalware Toolkit from here. Put it on a USB stick. Use it to download all the installers you will need for the later steps. Also grab a copy of Firefox Portable. Copy all to USB stick.
2. Boot into Safe Mode. (Tap F8 repeatedly on bootup), disconnect from any network.
3. Run CCleaner with everything but Wipe Free Space enabled.
4. Run Combofix. Follow its advice to (a) install the Recovery Console and (b) disable any realtime scanning in your antivirus program.
5. Let Combofix finish fully, then install and run Malwarebytes and do a Full Scan.
6. If Malwarebytes comes up with anything, also then run Superantispyware.
7. Reconnect to network, test Internet, Run full Windows Update, install all critical updates. If IE is broken, you can use the Firefox Portable to grab a full IE installer.
8. Update all Adobe products - Flash, Acrobat, Shockwave. Get rid of Acrobat if you can.

If this whole sequence doesn't work, follow this procedure to remove a variant called TDSS that Combofix doesn't get.

Afterwards, sign up for OpenDNS. It is the most effective way to stop malware at your perimeter. Basic version is completely free.]]> Dear god, help me! http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=8710&Focus=254273#Comment_254273 2010-08-10T01:03:54-07:00 2013-05-19T15:25:00-07:00 Lazarus99 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=3143 A friend of mine is lending me a Windows 7 install disk, so it looks like it's format time...bollocks
