In addition to the windows popping up, a picture of a woman with a headset appeared on the desktop and in the panel where the tabs show, beside the buttons to reduce and exit the windows.

Ok, I followed the directions as best I could, but the box did not have any text written on it. I couldn't tell which zoek file was the .exe, so I tried all 3. I will post a pictures. I don't know what to do next...

You did open Zoek well, you just have to copy autoclean; and press Run script.

But the window is empty! The word Autoclean does not appear! Do I type it in?

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Yes you type it in, exactly like I did...

 

[Ginablumen]

Ok, I understand now. Sorry.
So I did all of that and the computer automatically restarted, but when it did, I lost my internet connection and I cannot get it back. It says: The proxy server is refusing connections.

Log is not properly produced. Did you disabled AVG before running Zoek?
