HiCustomer Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer.

your computer seems to be infected with some kind of malaware or trojans.
This tool is just not a trojan infection remover but it neutralizes the windows internal policies and usage which might have been modified by any malaware programs
Dont worry we can get it fixed Please follow the instructions below.
Major antivirus programs these days are failing to detect or scan smart infection so in this case i would suggest you to run a tool which will take care of this issues, but run this tool carefully, dont remove any system.ini file or winlogon.ini file if you get a prompt any when you are stuck or confused please send me a message before proceeding.The tool is absolutely free.

Download Trojanremover

You need to download combofix a powerful tool which will eliminate the spyware issue.

Click OK to continue on those popup messages from combofix, DO NOT disable the anti-virus, just click OK to go on and you might have 3 different OK boxes to pop up, and if it ask to download the recovery console just click no.

 

Try to run COMBOFIX and it will take about 5 minutes to complete tops. The Microsoft Level 2 Techs use this and nothing gets past it. This is a FREE scan and it does not install anything on your computer, it runs from the command prompt!


COMBOFIX DOWNLOAD

1) Save it to your desktop

2) Run It

 

When it is done, you will get a notepad with the report. If anything was deleted it will show you at the top like this....


(((((((((((((((((( other deletions )))))))))))))))))))

Here is you a guide just in case you want to see what happens.

After that, close the notepad, restart your computer, and everything should be back to normal.
