Been all morning getting rid of this!!!!,think I've finally managed it and wondered if anyone else has had the problem?.In the end had to manually go into the registry and remove all traces.All my security software did not pick up on it,used Webroot,SUPERAntiSpywarE,Malwarebytes. Hitmanpro found it and removed it but not all of it,traces were still on my system.While writing this post noticing a 'delay' in my typing so maybe I still have a problem.Other members of my family been using pc and maybe a warning from Webroot was ignored.

Anyone encountered this problem and removed it?I think the registry is the right way to go as nothing else is finding it,will I think, use my restore option if It is still on my system.

If other people are using your computer , after you get it sorted it out maybe you should look into getting some image back up software that way you can just put and old image back in that was done before it happens or use shadow defender when there on your computer .
