Download CWShredder 2.19 from here.

Download\'SpSeHjfix\' to the desktop and then
right click a blank part of the desktop and select new folder, call it spfix
unzip the file into that folder.

Disconnect from the net and Close ALL OPEN PROGRAMS.
Run 'SpSeHjfix'. and click on "Start Disinfection".
When it's finished it will reboot your machine to finish the cleaning process.
The tool creates a log of the fix which will appear in the folder.

If it doesn't find any of the SE files or any hidden reinstallers it will say system clean and not go on to next stage.

Run the shredder and press the *fix,* not scan and allow it to clean the infection. Close all browser and explorer windows before hitting the fix button.

Reboot.

==

Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:
http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files. Do NOT run a scan yet.

===============

Download AboutBuster 6.0:

http://www.besttechie.net/tools/AboutBuster.zip
http://www.malwarebytes.org/AboutBuster.zip

Once downloaded, unzip it, and put the folder on your desktop.

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here.

Start AboutBuster and click Begin Removal.

Click yes to close down any Internet Explorer windows.

When the scan is done, click Ok.

You can then exit the program.

Run Ewido, and do a full scan. During the scan it will prompt you to clean files, click OK.

Save the logfile from the scan.
Restart your computer in normal mode.

Download CCleaner and install, then run it.

1. Uncheck "Cookies" under "Internet Explorer".
2. Click on Run Cleaner in the lower right-hand corner. This can take quite a while to run.
3. Close when finished.

Post a fresh HJT log and the log that was created by 'SpSeHjfix' as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

I did everything except the CCleaner program would not run.

Thanks for the help.

Can you please do the following.
