Click.GiftLoad infection

[anbelo]

I've been working in Safe Mode all this time, as everything went so slowly in normal mode. Now I've tried to disable the /SAFEBOOT option in msconfig, but I can't. I think it's related to the MS Windows Recovery Console, isn't it? Maybe I have to select "Use original BOOT.INI file" in the "General" tab at msconfig?

I think you do

I have now restarted in normal mode, and everything looks fine! I have also managed to update Windows with no problem.

Glad things are running back to normal for you

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /uninstallin the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.
  
  
  

Open OTL and click on Clean Up and it will remove programs we used to clean your system along with there backups

My stupid-soon-to-be-replaced Panda AV has again interfered with the ComboFix uninstall after it was supposedly disabled, I hope it won't be a problem...

Thank you very much, Ken. You do a wonderful work here. I will gladly make a donation to the page in grateful appreciation.
