Computer seems to be running okay. I do get errors on starting Admin from Roxio but that should be taken care of with the fix. Below is the fislog;

In that case, as far as I can see your computer is now clear of infection, and all that remains for us to do, is to remove the programs we've been using to clean your machine.

  • Please download delfix and save it to your desktop.
  • Right-click on delfix.exe and select " Run as administrator " to run it.
  • Check all the boxes then click on Run.
  • Once it has finished, a notepad file named DelFix.txt will open. Post the contents of this notepad in your next reply.
  • The log can also be located at the root of the system drive, C:\DelFix.txt.

Please read the article below which will give you a few suggestions for how to minimise your chances of getting another infection.

Okay. Right after I did the above my computer totally locked up. Had no mouse, control-alt-delete did nothing. Finally had to turn it off and reboot the computer. So far all seems good except for that lock up. Only thing I did was reinstall spybot. Any ideas why it did that?

I've no idea why you locked up, I can't see anything that's been removed that should have caused that kind of incident.

Keep an eye on your computer for the next couple of days, and if it does anything else unexpected, then post back here and let me know.

If I haven't heard back from you by Wednesday I'll presume everything is behaving itself and I'll close the topic.

Okay. Seems to be okay and do not know what locked it up. If it continues to do that I will open another topic on that at a later date.
