Firstly, antivirus programs will NOT remove these as they are malicious codecs, although they may find reference to them and remove it but upon rebooting it's back again.

Thereforeyou need to use a 'layered' approach to removing this parasite which has been successful in hundreds of cases:

Remove Restrictions Tool:

Download from Softpedia Secure Download (RO), install, run and check all boxes then click Apply and then reboot. This tool re-enables what codecs/viruses have disabled.

Download, install, update, scan and follow on screen prompts.

Remove all infections that it finds after scan.

If the problem persists, turn OFF System Restore, Right click My computer > select Properties > System Restore Tab > Tick Turn Off System restore on all drives and scan with the above programs in Safe Mode - tap F8 during boot before Windows splash screen and select Safe Mode.

After scans are complete and machine is clean remember to turn system restore back ON and create a new restore point.

Answer 7

What you have is a spyware call hijackers.

Spybot is a free anti-spyware tool that that contains many features to

immunize your computer against spyware.

http://www.safer-networking.org/

It modifies Internet Explorer to block a lot of the bad stuff known to Spybot.

There is a second layer of protection for IE that blocks anything that should come through by different aspects.

Spybot host file locking is a tool which locks the hosts file to prevent unauthorized changes.

Locking the hosts file will prevent most hosts hijackers (even unknown) from doing harm;

Locking the IE settings will prevent other users of your computer to change your preferences.

Install spybot

scan and remove the spywares

immunize your PC

enable advance features

enable the hosts file locking
