    Sorry I took long but I went into the safe mode and did what the other thread said (totally not dismissing what the above posts say) but thought I'd try the easier version..and then I restored and I can now get on all websites BUT my mcfee keeps coming up saying my pc is at risk because real time scanning is not turn on ...but when I turn it on it says for 5 secs its ok then it does the warning again???..its doing updates at the moment so hoping it something to do with that..either way I've gone off computers for life!..but yeah the wee emblem pop up thing has gone saying I'm at risk and to get their scan etc...

    Not even sure I did it right as I have no ideas about computers but would just like to thank you all very much! xxx

    edited to say..mcfee ok now xx thanks

    Did you run Malwarebytes?

    If not do so, if it finds any problems remove them and post the Malwarebytes log file in your next message.

    Also I would think about using another antivirus instead of McAfee, either go for Avira, Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials.
    If you need more info about this just ask.

    Do you mean the rogue security programme (XP ANTISPYWARE ALERT 2011) blocked Malwarebytes or something else?

    Should be OK now.

    Keep Malwarebytes Anti Malware on your computer and do a Quick Scan every so often but remember to UPDATE each time.

    It's on the Update tab, which you must have used cos your log says

    "Database version: 5138" which is todays. Calm down dear it's just an advert ;) . You seem to have done all right good luck , MBAM normally release new databases once a day.

    Edit: Sometimes the "engine" eg 1.46 sometimes changes and you may need to do two updates , but not that often.

    Might be best to do a full scan now just to make sure your clear.
    You can use computer normally whilst scanning just minimize Malwarebytes window
