    Be sure to quarantine Everything the SuperAntiSpyware found!


    You may have a dirty DNS cache. Let's flush it:


    Click the Start button.
    2. Enter cmd in the Start menu search field.
    3. Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
    4. Type, or copy/paste the following command and press Enter: ipconfig /flushdns
    5. If the command was successful, you will see the following message: Windows IP configuration successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
    Reboot.


    Next, I'd like you to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan
    1. Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
      ESET OnlineScan
    2. Click the button.
    3. For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)
      1. Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
      2. Double click on the icon on your desktop.
    4. Check
    5. Click the button.
    6. Accept any security warnings from your browser.
    7. Check
    8. Push the Start button.
    9. ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
    10. When the scan completes, push
    11. Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
    12. Push the button.
    13. Push

    Looks good!
    Next:
    Removing/Uninstalling AdwCleaner:
    Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool again. Click on the Uninstall button.
    Click Yes when asked are you sure you want to uninstall.
    Both AdwCleaner.exe, its folder and all logs will be removed.


    Now, download TFC by Old Timer TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer - Geeks to Go Forums and save it to your desktop.
    Save any unsaved work. TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!
    Double-click on TFC.exe to run it. If you are using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
    Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.
    Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.



    Let me know if there are any more problems after rebooting
