Post the results of the antivirus scan and a HJT log as instructed and that information will better help us to see if we can help you. Use "Post Reply" to stay in this same topic.

Please take the time to read and follow all of the instructions, you appear to have missed these:

Please do not attach infected files!
If a helper requests files they will give you a link to upload them.
All logs should be copy/pasted into topic and not attached unless requested by helper in that format.
Thank you for your understanding.
and these:

1) Run an on-line Anti Virus scan.
Panda Online Scan
Panda ActiveScan

eTrust Antivirus Web Scanner
