gallorg,

You most likely have a malware infection. Try making a copy of, and renaming the exe's to something like xxx.exe and running them.

Also, please be sure to complete the other steps outlined in the Prework link in my signature

Gallorg,

What is not clear? When I say "the exe's" I mean the install files for the programs (i.e. Malwarebytes, Hijackthis, etc)

They should be labeled MBAM.exe, and hijackthis.exe respectively.

Ahh. Apologies Gallorg. Right clicking on the file and choosing copy will work. Then right click again on the COPY and rename it to something like xxx.exe and try running it
