Thanks Everyone!!! The malware had my bowser set to a proxy.  I fixed that and ran Rkill which stopped then malware from running.  I'm now using Malwarebytes to remove the malware. When that is done I'm going to try tdsskiller to remove any rootkits. ------------------------ Keith Smith --- On Sun, 9/12/10, Stephen wrote: From: Stephen Subject: Re: OT: and not OT: Avira Rescue CD To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Sunday, September 12, 2010, 8:41 PM I have used avira, was only way to remove  particularly bad virus form a machine. i just need install media so i cna repair the corrupted files in windows. but the avira part worked well. -----Inline Attachment Follows----- --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
