   Hello,
   Yes, my mother in law had the same problem. There are some real bad people on the internet that prey on the unkowing. What it sounds like is the Vundo or Virtumundo virus. If you can get to the internet you can download eitther virtumundobegone or Vundofix.
   Also, the files that are infecting your machine will be in C:\windows\system32 directoy. Typically you can catagorize by date and find the culprits. In the case on my mothers machine the files were named: OqppoYay.ini
   It was not fun. Good luck and Gods speed

   Sure. Download, Install, Update and do full scans with the following applications in this order:

   MalwareBytes (installs, updates and scans in safemode with networking)
   AntiVir (installs and scans in safemode)
   SuperAntiSpyware (install this in normal bootmode)

   I have them all right here:

   Remove any malware these applications find. You should be done after that.
