FIRSTLY do a backup of your important files first
This program can on occasion lock people out if the userinit section has been corrupted.

The virus has taken over your browser using dns redirection
1. download (to your desktop) combofix
2. Disconnect from internet
3. Run combofix. If it doesn't run try renaming the file (xCombofix)
May take up to half hour to run, and read instructions at each stage carefully.
It's a dos type program so it will bring up blue screens (not bsod) and all sorts of weird stuff.
4. Restart computer

If that doesn't work, might need to run lspfix to fix TCP.
but try that first.
