    You're welcome.

    Congratulations. Your system is clean of Malware.

    Below is my standard closing speech. You may already have some of these programs and/or performed some of these steps. Use what you can and skip the rest.
    1. Please re-hide hidden files. (If applicable)
      Follow the directions you used earlier to show hidden files and undo the changes you made so that hidden files are actually hidden once again.
    2. Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
      This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only
      • Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
        Under Main choose: Select All
        Click the Empty Selected button.
      If you use Firefox browser
      • Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
        Click the Empty Selected button.
        NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
      If you use Opera browser
      • Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
        Click the Empty Selected button.
        NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
      Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
      For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.
    3. Now Set a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one. Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore. Since System Restore is a protected directory, your tools can not access it to delete these bad files which sometimes can reinfect your system. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.
      • The easiest and safest way to do this is:
        • Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
        • Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name then click "Create". The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.
        • Then go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr
        • Click "OK".
        • Click the "More Options" Tab.
        • Click "Clean Up" in the System Restore section to remove all previous restore points except the newly created one.
    4. Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs:
      • SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
      • SpywareGuard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
      • IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.
    5. You should also have a good firewall. Here are 2 free ones available for personal use:
      • If you already have a software firewall, you can skip this step.
    6. You should also have a good Anti-Virus (these are also free for personal use):It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
    7. To keep your operating system up to date you should do a windows update monthly. Here's the link:
    8. And to keep your system clean, run these free malware scanners weekly,and be aware of what emails you open and websites you visit.

    Safe Surfing!
