It no worky for me, because I am a Mac person. As I said above, I can’t vouch for it, I only came across it. Must have worked for the person who thanked me. Maybe your daughter has a different virus. Maybe she should be looking at a Mac instead of a PC. I am very low tech, and since changing, haven’t had any problems.
Had something similar a year ago. It was a nightmare. Get Malwarebytes anti-malware beforehand. That’s what fixed my system. It’s free, also.
From the sounds of it, my brother had something VERY similar. He told me what he was doing when he started having the problem. It turned out to be a malicious site which exploited a hole in IE 7. We managed to get rid of the thing with Symantec AV, but it was a regular PITA I tell ya!
