We understand that you are having difficulty running certain programs, including DDS and HijackThis. However, in order for us to help you it is necessary that you provide us with a log, and preferably a DDS log. It is possible you may be able to do this by following these instructions:
Download/run Rkill:
Please download Rkill from one of the following links and save to your Desktop:
One, Two or Three
Double click on Rkill.
A command window will open then disappear upon completion, this is normal.
Please leave Rkill on the Desktop until otherwise advised.
Note: If your security software warns about Rkill, please ignore and allow the download to continue.
Next, please follow the guideline at the link below to start a new topic and post your DDS log. If you are unable to create and post a DDS log, then your only option may be to reformat your computer and reinstall the operating system.
