    Its odd that you managed to download malwarebytes but no SAS

    Im wondering if somethings gone amiss somewhere

    have you tried switching everything off (including router etc) and rebooting the lot?

    If still no good try Dr web (asumming you can)


    Download and run the FREE version of DR WEB
    http://www.freedrweb.com/download+cureit/gr/
    Turn your anti virus OFF
    Click CANCEL to the 'Would you like to read purchase terms now?' message
    Click START click OK
    It will auto QUICK scan
    After that set to scan the WHOLE computer and press the 'play' icon

    ***DO NOT UPGRADE TO FULL VERSION***
