STEP 9. ok ! now it's time to reboot and allow normal boot up. once connected,download and install the freeware listed. update each and THEN run. Trojans, Worms, Key Loggers, Viruses, and Spyware are all very difficult to remove with just a single program. That is why it is recommend to run several programs to aid in the removal process. I recommend running each of the following programs listed below in order. Not all the programs are freeware and require purchase, you don’t have to run that program but I recommend looking into it if the results come back with your computer still being infected. Still, after all the freeware programs have run through your computer should be clean of any infection. NOTE: It is recommend to run these programs in Safe Mode for the best results!

1. Freeware – Spybot: This one gets a lot of advertising bots and other malicious programs.

STEP 11: SYSTEM RECOVERY 1. In a worst case scenario if the following steps do not clean your system,try using system restore

follow the same steps you followed to turn off S.R. but instead,click create new restore point. 2. in a VERY worst case,use your recovery or re install disk to re install windows
