Yesterday morning I received an invite from a friend on my windows instant messenger list, who I know well. He asked me to take an i.q test and to go to explorer and enter [edit: dodgy website URL removed] and it would come up. As he is a friend of mine and had no idea that window instant messenger could be hi jacked I did so. Ever since my Windows media player wont recognise the Divx or MPEG4 codec, even some . avi files, amongst other things. Videos that used to play fine in Windows media player yesterday now will only play the audio component. Anybody know how to get rid of this thing? Ive run an AVG and spybot scan with no luck. Ive thought of reporting this to microsoft, but thier website is like a sales maze, if you have a direct web address to report this kind of potentially dangerous stuff, id appreciate it. Thanks:badpc: |

What version of windows? Disable system restore, reboot.. If you can post a hijackthis log, its below. Get trojan remover below as well. Update it then scan. Then select all options under the utils menu. I would also scan the whole hdd with something better than AVG |

Right mouse on my computer if its on the desktop / properties / system restore tab. Disable it
Then reboot. Then get trojan remover <- direct link (www.simplysupersoft.com). Update it then click on scan. Then select all of the options, under the utilities menu. Whatever it finds, let it remove, then reboot |

I do have the restart button, under the start button but I have to press "Turn computer off" first to get to it, then it offers me 3 choices, one of which is restart, should I do that? |
