    I Might be Infected with Malware


    I had an experience recently where a page opened, and I was unable to close it. Anything I typed was hidden behind this page. Task Master did not close it. I ran the Microsoft Removal Tool but this came back saying nothing was wrong. I called a service I have for remote access. As soon as they were connected to my computer, The page did not come up. I took some screen shots and I would like to send you a link. I cannot understand how to do this. This is one of the screenshots. There is no web address for them. I sent it to:


    https://answers.microsoft.com When I tried to enter the full address as it appears, the response was that it was invalid. If there is another way to do this, please let me know. I have it in my dropbox screenshots.

    Hi:

    There is no one set of "boilerplate", "cookbook" or standard steps.
    Each computer is unique.
    Each malware infection is unique.
    Proper diagnosis, cleanup and repair depends on the particular infection and the system that is infected.
    The process can be tedious and time-consuming, often requiring the use of multiple powerful tools, in the proper sequence.
    Many of them can actually damage the system if deployed improperly by untrained computer users.

    Bottom line:
    Malware cleanup is best done with *customized* support provided by trained individuals who know what tools to use and how to use them.

    There are a few folks with such expertise here at this forum (I am not one of them).
    And there are a number of reputable computer disinfection fora where trained malware removal experts provide free, custom assistance.

    Cheers,
