Try running the 2 programs below to check your machine for spyware.
These programs will be most effective if you run them in Safe Mode. On many computer you can get there by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as soon as your computer starts to boot. Then use your arrow keys to select Safe Mode.

You can also use a program to prevent spyware from being installed in the first place.
Spyware, adware, browser hijackers, and dialers are some of the fastest-growing threats on the Internet today.
By simply browsing to a web page, you could find your computer to be the brand-new host of one of these unwanted fiends!
The most important step you can take is to secure your system. And SpywareBlaster is the most powerful protection program available.
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software. Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox. Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.

I just went through this had too reformat my drive back too factory specs the second time in 2 months and that sucks.
Anyway do that and make sure you saved what you want and remember what programs you have installed plus make sure you disconnect from the internet when you do this and have your virus software installed before you do this that should get rid of that nasty virus.
This the last resort too do this but I had too it was messing up my system and now it is fine I just have too make sure I am scanning everything I download.

it quite is possible that the an infection you attempt to do away with won't allow you to acquire archives on the contaminated pc. if it quite is the case, then you definately will could desire to acquire the archives asked in this instruction manual on yet another pc and then circulate them to the contaminated pc. you may circulate the archives by applying way of a CD/DVD, exterior force, or USB flash force. acquire and test with malware bytes

Here are a few things. Do CTRL ALT DLETE and look for it, and end it. If its not there, goto Start>>>Run>>>type in msconfig>>>Click startup tab>>>Look for commands that just show .exe and no other information. Those are usually viruses unless they say win or sys in front. Good Luck.
