Please help for solving this problem !
Many thanks in advance !

Hi,
Download CCleaner and install it. Run CCleaner, click "Options" button and here go to "Advanced" tab and uncheck the option "Only delete files in Windows Temp folder older than 48 hours". Click OK to exit from the Options. Finally click "Run Cleaner" and click "OK" to continue cleaning.


Next, download WebRoot SpySweeper from HERE (It is a 2-week trial version.):

• Click on Free Spy Scan.
• On the next page, click on Start Scan Now
• Save the Setup file to your Desktop>click OK.
• Double-click on the file that you saved. (If you receive alerts from your firewall, allow all activities for Spy Sweeper)
• You will be prompted to check for updated definitions, please do so.
• Click on "Options" > "Sweep Options" and check "Sweep all Folders on Selected drives".
• Check "Local Disc C" and under "What to Sweep", check every box.
• Click on "Sweep" and allow it to fully scan your system.
• When the sweep has finished, click "Remove" to remove any items found.
• Exit SpySweeper and reboot your computer.

NOTE: After SpySweeper has finished and removed any items found, it is important that you exit and reboot your computer right away to ensure the infection is fully removed.


Reboot to Normal Mode. Perform an online virus scan at Kaspersky Online Scanner. Save the log it gives after the scan.


Run HijackThis again, click Do a System scan and save log, and post the fresh log along with the Kaspersky log.


Note: If you encounter problems during SpySweeper scan, then run the SpySweeper scan in Safe Mode.
(To go to Safe Mode:-
Restart (or switch ON) the PC. Then, keep tapping the F8 Key. From the menu that will be displayed, out of which choose Safe Mode and press Enter. )

Thanks swat, but time was pressing me and this morning I reinstalled Windows
