I've downloaded Malwarebytes Free to a USB drive, put the USB drive into my machine, rebooted in Safe Mode. Running Malwarebytes now. I'll get back to ya.

Thank you every one for your help and support.

Good. Last time I had a malware problem it was locking up normal windows loading and the safe mode at about the same time.

For Superantispyware portable, one you can load to a CD on a good machine and run on the bad one, go here.

Not sure about the portable for Malwarebytes but be careful. They say there isn't one but Google lists several sites for download. If you're not loading it directly from or through their website, you may be loading malware/spyware/viruses.

Now I would like to vent to nobody in particular. When somebody fixes your computer and loads these programs could you please show them some appreciation by updating and running these programs occasionally. I lost count of the times I did that, then several months later they come back to me to fix it again having not once touched the programs after I showed them how to use them.

Let us know how it goes. Once again, I've had better results running Mawarebytes as a quick scan than a full scan. No idea why. Once you get it fixed and running I've seen it recommended that next time you run the program, always run it in the safe mode.
