I'd leave it until you can follow ALL thos steps in that Bleeping computer link you posted
your internet is being hijacked/redirected and needs fixing , the only way is to follow those steps
as it stands it is NOT secure and someone could intercept any secure transactions you make
leave it for now and print out the instructions , then follow ALL the steps in the order it shows you....Ex forum ambassador

Do you think if I brought it to a pc fixer they could fix it & save stuff on it?
i looked at the instructions< but its beyond me:(

Try Hitman Pro before you give up. It's very easy.
Just hold down the left CTRL-key when you start Hitman Pro and all non-essential processes are terminated, including the malware process and let it scan.0 -

if you take it to someone they will only follow the same steps and charge £50 for the honour ( I wold follow the same steps if removing this)
sometimes it is just a case of getting something to crakc the infection and then everything else will runEx forum ambassador

Sorry to be stupid.
I've tried it with IE on.
Held down Ctrl & clicked Hitman, just did a regular scan.
Tried it with IE off & steps as above, just did a regular scan.
Tried it by repeatedly clicking Ctrl while opening Hitman, just did a regular scan.
What am I doing wrong:(
I'm not very good:o0 -
Did the scan find anything?0
