or do this. Try this first:
Hit Ctrl+Alt+Delete and open the task manager.
Stop all processes with a bunch of numbers in them.
Go to Start>Computer>C: drive>Program Files>Temp files, and delete them all.
Empty the recycle bin.
Then go to Start>Run>type %temp% and delete all of those.
Empty the recycle bin again.
Then restart the computer, tap the F8 key while it is booting up, then choose “Safe mode with networking”.
Download Malwarebytes from here:

When it asks you where you would like to save it, change the “mbam_setup.exe” file to xxxxx.exe.
Then install it, update it, and run a full scan.

    Try using Malwarebytes Antimalware… it’s free, google it, the only thing is that you have to manually run the scan and you should do it every day but it works amazingly. It will pick up and murder trojans, fishers, spyware, and those nasty worm viruses that duplicate themselves… go get it!
