  • just bumping this up

    thanks
  • Hi WTB,

    Did you use any special program to remove AVG or did you just use the control panel ? If you didn't you can get the AVG removal tool from here http://www.avg.com/download-tools

    This should get rid of any left over AVG bits & give you something to do whilst you're waiting for the proper techies to come to your rescue :)

    Put the memory stick back in

    Copy the contents to your hardrive

    Format the memory stick (Make SURE you have the contents on your hardive first and theyre fine)

    Scan the memory stick and the newly copied contents with AVG and malwarebytes (Right click on them to bring up the option)

    Post here if anything was found and all details about it

    ......................................................................

    TICK and FIX these in hijack -

    It is possible your email account has been hijacked so its upto you how you wish to proceed with that

    .....................................................................

    Download and run the FREE version of DR WEB
    http://www.freedrweb.com/download+cureit/gr/
    Turn your anti virus OFF
    Click CANCEL to its first question (Unless your happy to lock windows until its run)
    Click NO to opening the purchase page
    Click START
    click YES
    It will auto QUICK scan
    Pess the STOP button on the right (Unless your happy to quick scan first)
    After that set to COMPLETE SCAN the computer and press the 'play' icon
    This will more than likely take hours (12 is average!), so leave running overnight or whatever

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

    reset the HOSTS file if it asks you
    :idea:
  • did scans and deleted the ones you asked me to do.

    They both came back clear.

    With regard to the email, is this referring to what i asked you in a pm

    will do other scan now.

    thanks

    I was going to tell you not to worry about the email

    But the hijack scan suggests your email 'may' have been compromised
    :idea:

    Before you put up the log

    Your best bet would be manually send from your new gmail account to each of them
