I wouldn't take the advice to try software called "Remove-it" but to stick with a
well-known, tried and tested program such as Malwarebytes.

MalwareBytes is reputed to be able to identify and remove threats not detected by
*many* other well-known Anti-Virus softwares...

Run the Full scan, not the Quick - you can then uninstall it afterwards, if you wish.

You can download MalwareBytes by clicking on the following link :
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam/program/mbam-setup.exe

Or by visiting their website at :

I have two suggestions:

1. Show your computer to a professional. You are describing the symptoms
of a very nasty trojan that strenuously resists attempts to defeat it.
Do /not/ download or install anything it tells you to download or install.

2. Ignore /anything/ you read from the 'Real Truth MVP'. He's well-known
around here as a charlatan who preys on newbies:

* He's not an MVP.
* His website is not an MVP website.
* He steals software from others and claims it's his own.
* He modifies his stolen software in a way that can harm your computer.

He also fills his websites with filthy pornography.

Use my Remove-it software, it will remove that malware from your system.
Choose yes for all options when prompted. Download it here

This is not the MVP site despite its fake logos.

The correct MVP site is http://www.mvps.org/.
