As mentioned, MBAM is preferred and quarantines
all it removes so you can always replace anything that has been removed.
You should also clean out all the temp files on the computer before running it.
------------------------------------------------------
Download TFC to your desktop from the link
below: (it will clean out all the temp files on your system.)
http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe
Open the file and close any other windows.
It will close all programs itself when run, make sure to let it run uninterrupted.
Click the Start button to begin the process. The program should not take long
to finish its job
Once its finished it should reboot your machine, if not, do this yourself to ensure
a complete clean
--------------------------------------------------
Scan for malware:
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
from the link below:
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php
Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes'
Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware,
then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
Note: -->Do not run a full scan with MBAM. It is
not required or needed.
The scan may take some time to finish,so please
be patient.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results
to view the results.
Make sure that everything is checked, and click
Remove Selected.
When disinfection is completed, a log will open
in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.
The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be
viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,
you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed
with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer,please do so immediatly.
