    I know TDSS is a rootkit. I've used the Kapersky before but it's found nothing in the past. Malwarebytes blocks certain websites (in the form of IP addresses) and that prevents the rootkits from taking effect somehow. I will try that Hitman Pro next though. RegInOut caused some problems recently though (Or so I assume). My computer failed to restart and I has to do the startup repair, which made me go back before any recent programs were installed (Malwarebytes and RegInOut were one of a few (can't be sure which caused it though)) so I think some critical changes were made.

    I'll try MalwareBytes again and then try this Hitman Pro though.

    EDIT: Malwarebytes cleaned up a bit again, but what am I supposed to do with Hitman Pro? It's scanning, but I notice on the bottom that it says that it's not activated, so it can't remove anything. Does this mean I need to buy it? If so, I can't right now. It's also kind of stuckat 99%. Here's a picture:


    Edit 2: After half an hour this screen changed. Disregard. Currently I have Comodo Firewall installed. It's really nice. I might keep it, but I'd still prefer to have solved the Windows Firewall issue.

    Hitman Pro lets you activate it for free after it finds something. You will have 30 days to scan/delete/repair, and after that you will have to buy it.
