In your case I`d recommend trying STEP 4 first if that doesn't clean it up continue from steps 1 to 6. Let us know if the problem persists or if you get stuck.

ALL THE FOLLOWING SOFTWARE IN THIS GUIDE IS FREE

STEP 1. First run online scans from the following (they may not clean your system but can give an idea of whatÂ’s infecting you):

ewido:

trend micro:
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Panda online scan (doesnÂ’t remove viruses but can disinfect some threats do not click on the option to buy):
http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan

STEP 2. Once those are done Clear the system restore points (if you donÂ’t want to do this move onto the next step but be aware viruses can infect system restores and can come back or still cause problems):
• Click Start >> Run - type SYSDM.CPL & press Enter
• Select the System Restore Tab
• Tick on the checkbox - "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
• Click Apply
• Then untick the same checkbox & click OK
• This deletes ALL restore points that had the infection and creates a clean one

STEP 3.Run STEP 6 at this point then uninstall your virus scanner and install each one of these and run a full system scan. Make sure to uninstall each one after its finished and run them in safe mode (To get into safe mode reset the pc then keep pressing F8 until a menu appears in which you can select safe mode some computers use F5, F6 or F7 to get the menu up)
