Hello Bill,

In order to solve your problem I really need more info.

Could please send me a Hyjackthis log, first to ensure we are talking of a virus as you seem to say and then to identify the virus to prescribe the best remedy.

You download Hyjackthis from here:

Install and request a scan with save log. Copy the log and post it here.

I am curious to know why you found it necessary to do what you described in your question. What wa your goal?

Best regards
