If you need help with malware, you need to read and follow the directions. I included the "Before you Post" instructions above but I suggest you read all pinned (sticky) information at the top of the forum, it is there for you.

Thanks

I have done this stuff already. I even took one or two more files off of my startup list after your post

Can you help me further. You guys helped me so much with a earlier problem with malware on another computer.

Please help me with this one.

Thank you Very Much

I don't know if I can help or not and I will not know unless you read and follow the directions I post
