Hi novice101.

Infected emails

What the KASPERSKY scan found are stored emails in your Windows Live Mail box, unfortunately I cannot tell which one or ones it is.
What I need you to do is go through all of your emails in your sent box, and any other saved boxes you may have.
Please delete any that you don't want/need/recognize. Odds are that the infected email will have an attachment or at least a link.
Therefore, do not open any attachments or click on any links.
Once you have done that you're good to go.

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

OTC

Download OTC by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop. This tool will remove all the tools we used to clean your pc.

• Right-click OTC.exe and select " Run as administrator " to run it.
• Click the CleanUp! button
• Select Yes when the Begin cleanup Process? Prompt appears
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself

Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.

You can now delete any tools we used if they remain on your Desktop.

Create a new, clean System Restore point

• Click Start, Right Click on Computer, and select Properties.
• In the left pane, click System Protection > Creat.
• Give this restore point a descriptive name and click Create.
• Click Apply and OK.

Note: Do not clear infected/old System Restore points before creating a new System Restore point first!

Flush infected System Restore points

• Click Start, Right Click on Computer, and select Properties.
• In the left pane, click System Protection.
• untick the box labeled Vista C: an click Turn off system restore.
• Click Apply and OK.
• Restart your computer.

Protection Programs
Don't forget to re-enable any protection programs we disabled during your fix.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Install SpywareBlaster
Download and install Javacools SpywareBlaster from Here
SpywareBlaster adds a list of ActiveX controls, tracking cookies and sites which will be blocked in either Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers. You need to manually check for updates regularly.

Install SiteAdvisor
SiteAdvisor is a toolbar for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox which alerts you if you're about to enter a potentially dangerous website.
You can find more information and download it from Here

Install WinPatrol
As a robust security monitor, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge.
For more information, please visit HERE

MVPS Hosts

Install MVPS Hosts File From Here
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
You can Find the Tutorial HERE

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
Secunia Software Inspector
F-secure Health Check

Microsoft Windows Update
Microsoft releases patches for Windows and Office products regularly to patch up Windows and Office products loopholes and fix any bugs found. Install the updates immediately if they are found.
To update Windows
Go to Start > All Programs > Windows Update > Check for updates.
To update Office
Open up any Office program.
Go to Help > Check for Updates

I would be grateful if you could reply to this post so that I know you have read it and, if you've no other questions, the thread can be closed.

Safe surfing!

Hi Cypher
I did as you suggested,and just deleted all emails,none were really needed.created a new restore point and deleted infected restore points.thanks for the suggestions on other freeware that could help keep PC secure.I did have one question though,do I go in and re-tick vista C under system protection or just leave it unchecked?

Hi.
Just check to make sure system restore is turned back on again.

As this issue appears to be resolved,
