    Sounds good to me!
    Download SDFix and save it to your Desktop.
    • Run the SDFix.exe by double clicking on it.
    • Allos it to install into the default location which is c:\SDFix
    • Now please reboot your computer into Safe Mode (see this if you don't know how: Starting your computer in Safe mode )
    • When you have booted into safe mode, open the C:\SDFix folder and double click RunThis.bat to start the script.
    • Type Y to begin the cleanup process.
    • It will remove any Trojan Services or Registry entries found and then prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
    • Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
    • When the PC restarts the Fixtool will run again and complete the removal process then display Finished, press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
    • Once the desktop icons load the SDFix report will open on screen and also save into the SDFix folder as Report.txt.
    • Attach the Report.txt file to your next message.

    Ok, done all of that, and ran a hjt just in case.

    Notes (just in case any of this information is relevant):
    * After kaspersky had troubles disinfecting virut from it, (when i was disinfecting virut before), my computer now seems to have 'lost' msconfig.exe. Typing it into Run brings up a file not found, and 'Launch System Configuration Utility' in help and support does nothing. I finally found it with search, but I seem to have two copies; 'msconfig' and 'MsConfig'. Both seem to work, despite the fact I get an 'insuficient admin rights, log on to an admin profile' error whenever I click apply or ok.

    *When the computer logged into safe mode, it brought up a profile choose screen, with a (previously non-existant) admin profile, and the normal 'Kitchen Computer' profile, which was previously the only profile, and used to have full admin rights. I chose the admin profile for running SDFix, but I still got a 'insuficient admin rights, log on to an admin profile' error when I used msconfig to return to normal boot mode.
