The files the website downloaded were in the Program files and called Bargain and SidebySide. I am unable to download the ewido. I keep getting a message saying "Internet Explorer was unable to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later." I went to the AVG site and downloaded a tempory virus scan tool to check for virus' and didn't find any active or hidden ones. I also downloaded a trial version of Windows Registry Repair Pro and it came up with over 800 problems. I repaired them with no affect. I am unable to download any files. Keep getting the same message about unable to open. :-(

First empty the C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch folder to get rid of that error.

And just open "my computer" and in the top you'll see a "tools" button , after you click on that you'll see the folder options.

Try this and then see if you can download Ewido:

Download the Hoster from here. Press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program. This will restore the original deleted Hosts file.

Thanks for those screenshots.

Can you remove these from the list:
  • istsvc
  • rwadn - both of them
  • dgjmq
  • The blank one below - lex2kusb

You definately have some spyware/malware installed so once you manage to get ewido and hijackthis installed we will be able to help you get rid of everything

I can't get anything to download. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting but no luck. Will deleteing the files in Prefutch mess up the computer more?

I had to get on a different computer since the other was working so slowly that I had a problem going back and forth from this site and files. Right now I am trying to delete files out of the Prefutch folder and remove the windows registry repair since it is now starting to show a corrupt file. I will try the downloads after that.
