Hi jdaily57,

Welcome to the forum.

My nickname is deltalima and I will be helping you with your computer problems.

The logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me.

Please be aware that removing Malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

Please note the following:

  • I will working be on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
  • The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
  • Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
  • If after 3 days you have not responded to this topic, it will be closed, and you will need to start a new one.
  • It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
  • If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

Please download PragmaFix.exe and save it to your desktop.

Double click PragmaFix.exe a log file will open, copy and paste the log into your next reply.

deltalima, thanks for helping. I get no desktop icon when I save the program. I tried to run pragmafix from the download window. Nothing starts. I see a black window appear with some sort of message in it when I attempt to run it, but it flashes so quick I cannot read it.

I doubt it, could you download to another computer and transfer via CD or USB thumb drive?

Well, now today, I've got bigger problems. Tried Pragmafix off of a thumbdrive, still wouldnt work. Now realkill or malwarebytes wont start. I get a popup message saying computer infected, blah blah blah.

Norton finally went active and picked something up. That allowed me to run Malwarebytes and get it to work. Now all is well. thanks for your help.
