    Yes that's malware. Probably something like this...

    I don't think you're going to be able to clean this though just by running lots of different scanners. Get me a DDS log.

    You may have to do it in safe mode with networking if you cant in normal mode.

    Post me a DDS log - should take 2-3 minutes.

    Download DDS from the link below and save it to your desktop:

    Link

    After you've downloaded it and saved it to your desktop:
    • Double click DDS to run it.
    • Click Start
    • When it's finished, DDS will open two logs:
    1. DDS.txt
    2. Attach.txt
    Save both reports to your desktop.

    Copy & paste the contents of just DDS.txt for now and post it here (you may need to split the log over separate posts)

    Hi waddler,That,s exactly the one that I had, thanks for reply. Will follow your instructions when daughter brings it later, after she,s backed up her stuff, if it allows her?
    Any idea how she would come to get that one??
    Won,t be till teatime, after she finishes work.
    I thought the 2nd A/v , the one you have just highlighted,could be scareware, as it kept saying, attack attempt etc, umpteen times, ?
    I ran Avira in safemode with network, and it showed,18 problems, and , 40 warnings,fixed the problems, but left the warnings posted to notepad, didn,t copy or anything as I thought I had pc till it was fixed..
    Mbam showed several problems, which it fixed ok, again in safemode with network.

    As I said, always try normal mode wherever possible.

    Other than running mbam using chameleon in normalmode, running rkill may help with others.

    Mbam performs better in normal mode - Use chameleon

    Don't bother with full scan - run the quick scan.

    Hi waddler, did a full scan without chamelion in safemode, 15 items found, didn,t save the log, just fix.Thought it fixed, fault, tried downloading Avast twice in normal, once in safemode, all failed, said infected, so presume, it,s still there.
    Dialogue box came up, "pc not performing correct, click ok to fix"
    Didn,t, presumed it was malware.
    Running Spybot at present.halfway through , in safemode.
    Everything out of date.
    Gonna try chameleon next, but, not sure how, so still reading up, might as well let SD finish now.
    cannot download dds, IE and chrome very slow.can you bare with me, please.

    sorry about the pain waddler, this is a beggar, using both pc,s at present
    no a.v on it now
    edit, nothing detected..without chameleon in normal

    Won,t let me download Chameleon
    You shouldn't have to download it as it should be installed already, unless it's a really outdated version of mbam.
    Rootkit.0Access.ED
    There lies the problem. You'll not get anywhere untill that's gone.

    When you boot to the advanced boot options (where you enter safemode) via f8, do you see the option "Repair your Computer" on the advanced boot options menu?
