Well lets see...  If you do online banking expect your account to be emptied as soon as it gets a hold.  All your passwords may be compromised..

At the moment Avast is holding it at bay, have you done a boot scan ?

If not we can try to repair but I can give no guarantee

Please download the following programmes to your desktop:

Dr Web Live CD

ImgBurn

Install IMGBurn
  • Double click Dr Web
  • IMGBurn will open
  • Burn the ISO to a cd
  • Reboot the infected computer with the CD in the drive
  • Ensure that the first boot device is CD - If you are not sure about that then see this page for instructions
  • As loading starts, a dialogue window will prompt you to choose between the standard and safe modes.


  • Use arrow keys to select  DrWeb-LiveCD (Default)
  • When the system is loaded, check the disks or folders you want to scan, and click on “Start”.


  • The programme will now scan for and cure/delete any malware that it finds.  Allow it to do so  
  • Once completed reboot to normal windows
  • No log is produced so once in normal windows run a fresh OTL scan and let me know if the problems persist
