 We recommend:

Load your operating system in the Safe Mode (to load the Safe Mode in  Windows press when loading Windows F8 or open "Run" => write "msconfig" and click "OK" then press => "BOOT.INI" => activate at startup options"/SAFEBOOT" ), and turn off the System Restore (right click with mouse at "Computer" => "Settings" => open "System restore" => activate "Disable System Restore in every hard disk" => "Apply" => "OK"), then do full system scans. Scan all files on your system, and delete all threats found with your Antivirus - and Anti - Spyware programe. Then turn on the System Restore (to reactivate the System Restore click with right mouse "Computer" => "Settings" => open "System restore => deactivate "Disable System Restore at every hard disk" => "Apply" => "OK")  load your operating in normal mode (to load the normal mode again click Start => Run => write "msconfig" and click "OK" then press => "BOOT.INI" => deactivate at startup options "/SAFEBOOT").

(For the safety of the virus has been deleted) Download HijackThis and do a scan with logfile, do also (if possible) a log file of your full system scans and post us them all to help (Online Help & Support) or by E-mail to "j_soliman@gmx.at".
CAUTION: Don´t tick and fix anything without a permit of a  specialist. There is a risk to damage your system

Search the virus/es in the folder/s where the found's were made. It should no longer be found there. If the folders are unimportant remove them. (The folder's you are looking for can be hidden. To see hidden folder's at Microsoft Windows click on "Tools" => Folder Options' => 'View' => activate "Show hidden files and folder's"  and click "Apply" => "OK" button)

Now, there should no longer messages appear, which tells you that there is a virus on your system. The virus should have been successfully eliminated. In addition, we recommend you to scan your computer for viruses and spyware (in normal mode), to update your Anti Virus Software and to block and immunize threats at least 1x per week.
