High Speed Chaser's reply to Malware HELP

I would recommend avast in the link provide above as it has a boot time scanner which can be very helpful in this situation.

If you already have an anti-virus, I recommend Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware which I will put in the above link in a few minutes.

You can also try spybot or any other off-line anti-viruses in safe mode. Safe mode can be accessed by tapping F8 before the Windows loading screen appears. Then just run the AV normally.

Please remove the link as
  • A personal e-mail address is contained in the link
  • The link is active and someone may click on it and get the malware

First of all, both try changing your password... That usually makes a difference... Then try a full system virus scan

As long as  you have a firewall, that's irrelevant
