Just one last thing: how do I go about deleting the programs I used during this process? Can I simply delete the icons from my desktop, or will I need to uninstall?

Thanks!

You can keep Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, it's a great scanner :)

OTMoveIt can be uninstalled like this (it will also remove SmitfraudFix) -

Please open OTMoveIt2.

  • Click on the CleanUp! button. If your Firewall gives a warning about OTMoveIt wanting to download a file, allow it.
  • Answer Yes to the prompt.
  • The program will ask for a reboot. Answer Yes.

Thanks so much for all of your help Simon! I used to think the only solution to a bad virus infection was to wipe the hard drive, but now I know better!!! You time and expertise have been greatly appreciated....thanks again!!!

All the best,
