Hello,



They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.



Before we start please read and note the following:
  • At the top of your post, please click on the "Watch thread" button and make sure to check Watch this thread...and receive email notifications. This will send an email to you as soon as I reply to your topic, allowing me to solve your problem faster.
  • Please do not install any new software during the cleaning process other than the tools I provide for you. This can hinder the cleaning process. Please do not perform System Restore or any other restore.
  • Instructions I give to you are very simple and made for complete beginner to follow. That's why you need to read through my instructions carefully and completely before executing them.
  • Please do not run any tools other than the ones I ask you to, when I ask you to. Some of these tools can be very dangerous if used improperly. Also, if you use a tool that I have not requested you use, it can cause false positives, thereby delaying the complete cleaning of your machine.
  • All tools we use here are completely clean and do not contain any malware. If your antivirus detects them as malicious, please disable your antivirus and then continue.
  • If during the process you run across anything that is not in my instructions, please stop and ask. If any tool is running too much time (few hours), please stop and inform me.
  • I visit forum several times at day, making sure to respond to everyone's topic as fast as possible. But bear in mind that I have private life like everyone and I cannot be here 24/7. So please be patient with me. Also, some infections require less, and some more time to be removed completely, so bear this in mind and be patient.
  • Please stay with me until the end of all steps and procedures and I declare your system clean. Just because there is a lack of symptoms does not indicate a clean machine. If you solved your problem yourself, set aside two minutes to let me know.
  • Please attach all report using

    button below. Doing this, you make it easier for me to analyze and fix your problem.

  • Do not ask for help for your business PC. Companies are making revenue via computers, so it is good thing to pay for the repair.

Hi. Sorry for delay in response - been away today!
OK situation is this....when I sent the report last night the report box where the log is recorded had disappeared from the screen and a results file was located in C - that is what I sent (as I thought it had finished). Today when I tried to start zoek the two dioalog boxes reappeared - one saying it was already running, the other with the log file that had not advanced since yesterday. So i was looking of a way to stop the current process (via task Manager - couldn't actually see it there!) when I got a message that zoek needed to reboot the computer to complete its operation. It has now been rebooting for over an hour, which doesn't seem right to me, buit i dont know what to expect. What do you recommend I do - a hard reboot via the power switch, or just leave it till it has rebooted? Thanks!

As far as I can tell, seems to be running normally - certainly no irritating popups stopping IE from running. Though haven't done anything that has demanded a password (other than MWTips!) until I get the all clear.

So, apols for being dim, but does that mean you think my computer is 'clean' and that I can use passworded sites safely ? And was there anything malicious on it? What did zoek do? I don't need to run any other antimalware software? Many thanks for all your help!
