[QUOTE="chaswr, post: 96929, member: 4765"] Hello again! Yes, I know this is a free help site but you were very patient and took the time to walk me through this process. My other 2 choices were to take me pc somewhere to have it cleaned and have them hose it, or do a complete reinstall myself which I was pretty much going to do. You gave me a different option. I know whatever donation I make really wouldn't be enough to really cover your time but it is something. A few follow up questions... I downloaded MS security essentials (anti-virus), pc tools (firewall), uninstalled all my other anti-spyware tools EXCEPT malwarebytes (which I own the pro version), the update checker, and cc cleaner. Uninstalled avg, installed MSSE, then all of the others. I still have the adwcleaner on my desktop, is there an uninstall for that or should I leave that there? 2nd. I usually have firefox, opera, chrome, and seamonkey browsers open checking various gmail accounts and doing other things. I was signed onto a number of accounts when that problem occurred.
