and
Quick-Fix Protocol.

Basically, throw everything here at your "infection".
Then get HiJackThis:
Create a new folder named HiJackThis on the C:\ and download file to that
folder Then Unzip the download.into that folder.
DO NOT install in your Desktop folder.
DO NOT use any of the TEMP folders that are presently in your computer.
Double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".
Go to:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html
and download HiJackThis to the new folder. Unzip to a folder other than your
Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick HiJackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button. Press that, save the log some place you remember where it is.
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so DO NOT fix
anything yet.
