I installed windows 7 on my own and I do have an installation disk.
Good then if you understand the possible risk involved and would like to attempt to fix this infection, I would urge you first to ensure you have backed up any important data.
Give me an update on your computers performance after doing the following.
Download MBRBackup to your Desktop.
- Right-click MBRBackup.exe and select " Run as administrator " to run it.
- Click SaveMBR (top left corner) and save the backup file to your Desktop.
- It will have a name similar to MBR_2010-10-06.bin where the numbers correspond to the date the backup was made.
- Exit the program.
- I strongly suggest you keep a copy of this backup stored on an external device.
