If my computer sits to long it does a screen saver of the blue screen of death. Now we also got a browser hijacker. Also it now takes like 30mins. to an 1 hour to boot up. I been backing up all the files.

First thing you'll want to do is download this tool, its called SmitFraudFix

Double click on the icon of the tool, it will create a folder on your desktop, copy this folder to your C drive in My Computer.

Then restart your computer in safe mode.

Windows Safe Mode is a way of booting up your Windows operating system in order to run administrative and diagnostic tasks on your installation. When you boot into Safe Mode the operating system only loads the bare minimum of software that is required for the operating system to work. This mode of operating is designed to let you troubleshoot and run diagnostics on your computer. Windows Safe Mode loads a basic video drivers so your programs may look different than normal.

For Win98/ME, XP and Vistathere are two methods of booting into Safe Mode, while 95 and 2000 only have one. We will describe these methods below:

F8 - By pressing the F8 key right when Windows starts, usually right after you hear your computer beep when you reboot it, you will be brought to a menu where you can choose to boot into safe mode. If it does not work on the first try, reboot and try again as you have to be quick when you press it. I have found that during boot up right after the computer shows you all the equipment , memory, etc installed on your computer, if you start lightly tapping the F8 key you will usually be able to get to the desired menu.

Once your login screen appears, login as Administrator. When your desktop loads, open my computer, then your C drive and open the SmitFruadFix folder, double click on the file called "SmitfraudFix" select option 2 for clean in safe mode.

After this is done, restart your computer, then go to Downloads.com and download AVG free edition and run a full scan on your system.

I must say you have to reinstall windows to be 100% sure your rid of any nasty viruses.They will embed themselves so deeply into your  registry,that nothing is worth the headache of trying to remove them.You are better off completely erasing your hard drive and reformatting.
