[Wingman]

Hello jellydonuts Welcome to the forum.

My name is Wingman, and I'll be helping you with any malware problems.
The logs I request can take a while to research, so please be patient.

Before we begin...please read and follow these important guidelines, so things will proceed smoothly.

1. The instructions being given are for YOUR computer and system only!
   Using these instructions on a different computer can cause damage to that computer and possibly render it inoperable!
2. DO NOT run any other fix or removal tools unless instructed to do so!
3. DO NOT install any other software (or hardware) during the cleaning process. This adds more items to be researched.
4. Only- post your problem at (1) one help site. Applying fixes from multiple help sites can cause problems.
5. Print each set of instructions...if possible...your Internet connection will not be available during some fix processes.
6. Only- reply to this thread, do not start another ... Please, continue responding, until I give you the "All Clean"

Please take time to read the Malware Removal Forum Guidelines and Rules where the conditions for receiving help at this forum are explained.

Please do not make any changes to your system: do not add or remove any software, run any scans or "fix" programs and/or remove any files unless instructed to do so, by me. Please read these instructions carefully before executing and then perform the steps, in the order given. If you have any questions or problems, executing these instructions, <<STOP>> do not proceed, post back with the question or problem.

Vista - Windows 7 Users - Please Note:
The programs I ask you to run need to be installed and run in Administrator Mode by... Right clicking the installation file and the executable program file & selecting: Run as Administrator. Additionally, the built-in User Account Control (UAC) utility, if enabled, may prompt you for permission to run the program. When prompted, please select: Allow.
