Re””I have gotten the same thing a couple of times on my computer and my wife’s. I went to Bleepingcomputer.com, to their virus page and selected the one with the same name as the one hitting on your computer. Then, to shorten the process go straight down the page to where you can load Rkill onto a thumbdrive. Stick the thumbdrive into the affected computer and run rkill and it’s cleaned. Then run Malwarebytes and go back to your normal life. It is so easy, only a few clicks, and you’re done in just a few minutes.
This has worked for me three times. Good luck.”
I second this approach. The one and only infection I got since the early 1990’s was cured in this manner.

I got infected with antivir solution pro:

Someone told me to run disc cleanup twice monthly, to keep things running smoothly. I tried to set it up as a scheduled task, but it asks for my password. I don’t remember ever having a password, except for when I bought the computer 6 years ago. And I’m afraid to run it if it won’t let me back on my computer without the password after running cleanup.
I got introduced to bleepingcomputer by a FReeper some time ago, but do not recall who it was. I have not had to pay anyone to work on my stuff since then.
