    Thanks again. Restore flush now complete. Is there any more to do?

    BTW, is there any reason why AVG wouldn't have stopped this infection in the first place?
  • No one anti virus product detects all virus - it is possible that you were infected prior to AVG releasing a definition to detect it.

    You may wish to review your security software.

    You need 1 anti virus product - I am not a fan of AVG but other are.

    also 1 Firewall - I use PC Tools Firewall

    General Malware I use MalwareBytes and Superantispyware - I have the paid for version but they are available free in a reactive capacity.

    I agree with Spender. Id advise replacing AVG with AVIRA anti virus (Make sure you use the AVG removal tool if you decide to do so)

    Either way ~

    Download SUPERANTISPYWARE (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_superantispyware/
    UPDATE and SCAN


    Download HIJACK THIS (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_hijackthis/
    SCAN and post the log so we can see whats running
    (do NOT do anything else but scan and post the log)
