This is exactly what they do not only that but they managed to stop you bringing up AVG to check, and you can't get on the internet every time you try they say your infected more. There is NO installed programme so you can't delete it Shocked and pressing the red cross only causes more warning signs. But I managed to get rid of it by doing a system restore. Very Happy

yeah even if you used system restore, i would still do a full scan, as all restore does is move it.

Ah but it doesn't check for spyware so well, if at all.
Give it a couple of scans with both Spybot Search & Destroy and Lavasoft Adaware.

Malwarebytes Anti-malware is another option.

Malwarebytes is the best.
Just make sure after you have run the initial scna that you update it and scan again.

so far the only thing i've found that can remove this threat, but even at that i've had to reformat a few machines which were just too far gone.
