Quick update that builds on what and started: good call to get into Safe Mode and scan — that stops a lot of live malware activity. Treat the PC as still compromised until you can verify it's clean: disconnect or limit network use, don’t do banking/shopping on that machine, and back up only essential personal files to an external drive (disconnect it immediately). Change account passwords only after the system is fully cleaned, and do so from a different, known‑clean device. (ftc.gov)

Repair the OS core before assuming everything’s fixed. From an elevated command prompt run DISM, then System File Checker to replace damaged system components:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
sfc /scannow

If SFC reports unfixable files, rerun DISM and repeat SFC or inspect the CBS log for specifics. Also check startup items and services (msconfig/services.msc) and reset the network stack and DNS cache if browsers or downloads misbehave:

ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset

These steps are the supported way to repair Windows component corruption. (support.microsoft.com)

If problems persist (disabled system tools, missing shells, strange redirects), run an offline/bootable AV scan so hidden/rootkit malware can be detected outside the running OS. If recovery still fails, use Windows’ recovery options or perform a clean reinstall — System Restore can help for recent changes but won’t guarantee removal of persistent threats. After a confirmed cleanup, change passwords from a clean device and monitor accounts. When in doubt, a fresh install from trusted media and restoring only scanned backups is the safest path.

Hi,

First thing are you able to go into Safe Mode With Networking.

If yes go into safe mode with networking and then follow these steps
1) delete all temp files
2) run malwarebytes and hitman pro scan
3) if required run superantisypware scan
4) uninstall unwanted softwares from the computer
5) reset Internet Explorer
6) restart the computer in normal mode

BINGO it should work fine.............

If you are unable to start the computer in Safe mode then try to repair the windows and then follow the above steps
