Andro1d replied to rosiebeau's topic in Malware Removal
Hello again, Well at this point, your computer is fixed and free of malware only. I would now post in the hardware forum with your problem, and let them know I have cleaned you of malware. I will leave this topic open so you can post the final results as well. You can keep Ad-Aware if you wish, but I would recommend Online Armor out of the three firewalls. Also, I would highly recommend ATF Cleaner over disc clean up. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. -

All Anti-spyware/virus Scans Fail..?
Andro1d replied to sevink's topic in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
I would do what Besttechie and also a quick note. Unless you are comparatively knowledgeable about your version of Windows, you can certainly do more harm to your computer's functioning than any small improvements made by registry cleaners warrant. There are safer methods to employ to speed performance, and these usually produce noticeable results. See this link for a start. http://users.telenet.be/bluepatchy/miekiem...owcomputer.html
