    After you download Malwarebytes go out there and find Spybot another very good free ware program. I run both about once a week.

    Are you running Window's 7 John?If so you can restart your computer and while it is loading just keep hitting F8 till a black screen comes up with all your startup options. I hit repair computer and it will give you a box listing country where your computer is/ US.Next it asked for name of computer, mine was Steve and the password you use to log on.The next box listed all the options.That is where system restore is listed.It will take you to the last known good configuration.Hope this helped.I ain't no computer GURU!

    I had the same virus you have. I went to a computer at work and googled the message I was getting and I located a free malware download to clear it. I printed the directions from Google and used them to restore my PC. So far it has been good. I got the virus through a Field and Stream link also.

    Everybody needs to keep a good Anti-virus program on hteir computer al of the time. I use AVG Free. It has a system scan option that scans any download BEFORE it is opened and if it detects questionable script, informs you and gives you the option to not open the file. Oh...and you have to keep your anti-virus definitions updated. New viruses are created every day. AVG automatically updates every evening.

    Be sure to get the FREE version. The paid version is better, but know which one you want, and make sure you click the right dl.

    I run AVG on my computer and there is a free download from Avg available. i use the full version that I paid for. It has found viruses on my system that McAfee had missed! Best I have found so far. Glad you got her going again John!
