Answer 1

Try running these programs:

MBAM free: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

Eset online scanner: http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

Adwcleaner: https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/

If these do not fully remove the virus/malware then it will be wise to register with a malware removal site to receive dedicated malware removal instructions, an expert will remain with you throughout the process until confirmation that your PC is 100% clean.

Hi Dan,

I don;t understand, you have re-created the missing file, with an exit script - Is it the exact same popup message as the previous one - please post a screenshot of the popup dialog . .. .

Answer 4

Hi Dave

Yes it doesn't make sense does it, yes the previous attached is the pop up message i get now, (exactly the same as before) Outlook has been buggy launching not sure if connected.

The restart.vbs file has below text in it

Wscript.Quit

Saved as a .txt file as only option

Encoding is ANSI
