Hi freakazoidiv,

Have you scan for virus on Panda Active Scan at http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/activescan.asp?Language=2&Country=63&Partner=1&Ref=EN-PR-AS-107 and Trend Micro - Free online virus Scan at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ When using trend micro click on scan your pc >>> click on the C:\ >>> then click on auto clean then scan.

Brandon,
Excuse me for the intrusion.

But I would suggest this to start:

To begin with go to Trend Micro and do an online scan and delete whatever it finds. Be sure to highlight the drives you want to have searched. Like you advised.

After that could you please go to here and download AdAwareSE and delete what it finds. Then go here here and download its VX2 cleaner. Run it and delete what it finds.

After that go to here and download SpyBot and run that and delete what it finds.

Now go to here and download HiJackThis to its own folder that you create on your C:\ drive.
After it is downloaded open the program and click Scan and Save to log.

Post the log that it generates here.

But this is up to you since you own this thead.

Just a suggestion.

Steve

Easy sounds good but I cannnot access the control panel.

Hi,

Are you able to access the control panel in safemode?

For example, restart the computer and hit F8 once you see the Dell screen

This will bring up the windows advanced options screen

Highlight(Select) safemode, then hit enter.  Hit enter once more to select the OS.

Log into your account then hit "yes" to confirm that you are in safemode.

Try the control panel from there and go through with clearing the java cache.

guestvic,
Thank you so much for your post. I wasted a lot of time trying to get this removed via normal avenues! Great quick fix! :smileyvery-happy:
