[QUOTE="asdfdav, post: 91613, member: 4192"] Hi, Many thanks for posting the guide - sadly I had a go myself before finding this. Here's what has happened: After being infected I did a quick look online what to do, and someone proposed to delete the c:/programData folder that seems to contain the malware. I did that, and was then able to do a restore to a date when I know my system was not infected. After this - no problem at all, no pop ups or anything like that. However, the folder programdata is still there, and I am unable to delete it. Also, when trying to re-enable the original Windows Defender anti-malware in Windows, something keeps dis-abeling it. This led me to think that there's something still wrong here... I browsed again and found this site's walkthrough, followed it step by step. However, neither registryfix (i got an error message when running it), Rkill, Malwarebytes (or spybot SD for that reason) or Hitman pro found anything wrong with my computer, after doing the full scans. Rogue-killer did find some problems in the registry, which it did correct, but after doing these steps it seems i am back at square one. Ideas anyone? Much appreciated. Cheers, David [/QUOTE]
