    Microsoft's MSRT- Malicious Software Removal Tool

    For the current list of malware from Microsoft that the most recent MSRT can detect & cure go here:

    http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/fa...

    If you have downloaded the most recent MSRT from Microsoft (from the monthly 'Cycle Update'):

    Right click the desktop > New> Shortcut; then type in " MSRT " (sans quote), a shortcut will be made directly to run the tool.

    This will identify known malware, and corrective action taken.

    Has full UI; quick scan takes 5 minutes; full scan is much longer.

    Gives results of scans, checks e-mail, etc.

    Very handy set-up.

    For download of the MSRT, go here:

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=40587

    On line scan also available.

    Please download and install Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, update it and run a full scan. Remove everything it finds.

    After disinfection, download and install Avira AntiVir if you do not have an anti-virus installed.

    If you are still having problems with your computer, I recommend that you go to bleepingcomputer.com in order to remove all traces of malware in your computer.
