It is important to have good antivirus and antispyware programs running at all times and to update the definitions on a regular basis. I will give you links to free software that you may use at this time.

Clean Up My Computer Now (see tutorial below)
Makers of spyware and other unwanted software might disguise their programs as anti-spyware or antiVirus tools.
Click the links to the programs below or ask someone you trust to recommend a tool before you download and install it.
-
If you believe YOU ARE INFECTED NOW by malware - then I suggest running Malware Bytes AntiMalware Program - see the link and info below. This is by far the quickest and easiest way to immediately clean your computer. Install the program from our server or follow the link to the website - download - Install - allow updates - and then disconnect your computer flrom the internet (disconnect the network cable running into your computer). Do a quick scan and restart your computer and then do a complete scan.
-
I would then suggest running the "Run These 1st" programs and understand what is coming into your computer - view the tutorial. There is also an informational link next to each program.
-
Then continue with your basic cleanup using the utilities below. I usually save the ATF-Cleaner (automatic temporary file cleaner) to my desktop to run as needed. The other 3 programs I usually run from the website.
-
Once you do a basic cleanup, then install the free version of SuperAntiSpyware, update the definitions (it will prompt you) and then once the definitions are updated, physically disconnect from the internet. Although before disconnecting - now would be a good time to update your antivirus software definitions.
-
Now you may run SuperAntiSpyware and your antivirus program repeatedly until all infections are removed, restarting your computer each time.
