Jerry,
Let me suggest you ditch Spy Hunter (simply on account of it's past =
history).
Insure that your system is malware-free.
Thoroughly scan the system with your updated anti-virus and anti-malware =
program.
Document the results so you can have them for posting on an anti-malware =
forum ---- not here.
Use Windows' Disk Cleanup to delete all temporary files.
Download & save Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from=20
http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe or=20
http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html
Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' =
Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, then click Finish.=20
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.=20
Once the program has loaded, select Perform FULL Scan, then click Scan.=20
The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.=20
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the =
results.=20
Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.=20
When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may =
be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)=20
The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the =
Logs tab in MBAM.=20
Copy & Paste the entire report in a new reply as soon as it has =
finished.=20
Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be =
presented with 1 of 2 prompts.
click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.=20
If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
MBAM is an excellent first-line program to use and keep.
