G+_Thomas Behrens Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 +John cooper you could use malware bytes here is a link to their site with some more information https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=136288 My recommendation is very similar to what Leo recommends. Back up all the data files. Wipe the drive fresh rhen using known good install disks reinstall the OS and all software this way you kill a few birds with 1 stone. First you don't know what is lurking on the system this is a nasty malware or I prefer to call it a virus since it behaves more like a virus that likes to sink its hooks in your system and not let go. 2 you don't know if something else that you see because it is hiding better infected your system. 3 it's windows every day that you use it past the first few days slows your system down with incomplete swap files, temp files, corrupt files ect. Good luck Tom B. Just my 2 cents but due to inflation valued at $20.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
