Thank you for the link, but I ran into a few problems trying to follow the
instructions:
1.) I couldn't find one of the three files in my registry I needed to delete
(the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT:CLSID... file couldn't be found)
2.) I deleted the other two files and then after restarting my system went
into Windows Explorer to delete the file "Jeired" as instructed by the
instructions from the link, but that file couldn't be found either.
After doing the steps I was able to complete (deleting 2 of the 3 files from
my registry) and restarting my system once again, I did another search using
Ad-Aware and sure enough...the malware files showed up again.
Any other advice on how I can permanently get rid of these files?
Thanks again...
