Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.

I’m no computer geek but I did manage to remove this pesky virus; not
sure if it’s a full proof method but after downloading spyware and
being asked to fork out dosh I decided to try to get rid of it on my
own.

Simple terms

1. Used System Restore to return to a date when this virus was not on
my computer.
2. Booted up and installed Spybot from the Spybot website which is
free
3. Ran Spybot and removed everything it picked up on
4. Un installed my Norton anti virus and reinstalled again and
Ran Spybot in safe-mode again, again removing all the things it
highlighted.

The virus did show it’s ugly face once but disappeared in a puff of
smoke.

Someone will say this system to remove is wrong… ok I bow to your
greater knowledge; but I got rid of it
