Please print these instruction out so that you know what you are doing
 

• Download OTLPENet.exe to your desktop
  
• Ensure that you have a blank CD in the drive
• Double click OTLPENet.exe and this will then open imgburn  to burn the file to CD
   
  
• Reboot your system using the boot CD you just created.

Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps here

• As the CD needs to detect your hardware and load the operating system, I would recommend a nice cup of tea whilst it loads     
• Your system should now display a Reatogo desktop.

Note : as you are running from CD it is not exactly speedy

• Double-click on the OTLPE icon.
  
• Select the Windows folder of the infected drive if it asks for a location
• When asked "Do you wish to load the remote registry", select Yes
  
• When asked "Do you wish to load remote user profile(s) for scanning", select Yes
  
• Ensure the box "Automatically Load All Remaining Users" is checked and press OK
  
• OTL should now start.
• Drag and drop this attached scan.txt into the Custom scans and fixes box
  [attachment=64806:scan.txt]
  
• Press Run Scan to start the scan.
  
• When finished, the file will be saved  in drive C:\OTL.txt
  
• Copy this file to your USB drive if you do not have internet connection on this system.
• Right click the file and select send to : select the USB drive.   
• Confirm that it has copied to the USB drive by selecting it
• You can backup any files that you wish from this OS
• Please post the contents of the C:\OTL.txt file in your reply.
