Original poster asked how to remove an infection; and correctly noted the first step is identification. The advice below is a compact, up-to-date workflow for anyone landing on this old thread: it focuses on containment, safe inspection, reliable removal, and recovery. Do not follow random "one-click" fixes from unknown sites.

Recommended workflow:

  1. Isolate the system. Disconnect network cables and disable Wi‑Fi to stop data leakage and lateral spread.
  2. Preserve personal files only. Copy documents and media to external media, but do not copy programs or installers. Scan those backups from a known-clean machine before restoring.
  3. Gather basic symptoms (error messages, new browser behavior, unknown processes) and note them for forensic help. Do not post passwords or personal data.
  4. Run updated on-demand scanners and an offline rescue scan. Use current vendor tools (on-access and bootable rescue media) rather than old utilities. Safe Mode can help, but modern persistent threats may survive it.
  5. If scans clean the system and behavior is normal, update the OS and all apps, then change passwords from a different clean device. If malware persists, the safest route is a full OS reinstall from trusted media and restoring only scanned personal files.
  6. After recovery, enable automatic updates, use a reputable real‑time AV, apply least-privilege user accounts, and monitor financial accounts.

Note: system restore points can retain malware; do not rely on them to recover. Since this thread is from years ago, always use current tools and updated signatures when attempting removal.

Take a look at the date Dan, guy hasn't returned in 9 days. Think he's a lost cause.
