I contacted my local computer genius and even he couldn't get rid of it
With respect he is not particularly competent in that case. PCs have been a hobby for the past twenty years. I have become quite well known for restoring systems corrupted by malware. I have never been beaten by a virus. It is sometimes quite time consuming and tricky to remove the difficult ones but not, in my experience, impossible.
I disagree with IO540's generalisation that the only way to effectively resolve issues is to reinstall a disk image. That is what professionals do because a) it is simple and b) they cannot spend the time doing othyerwise.
What I find is that I spend far longer than a paid technician could reasonably charge for. I do not charge and I do it purely for the fun of it.
Others on this thread are suggesting try this and try that. I am talking from experience when I say use the MajorGeeks Malware removal guide because I can virtually guarantee that you will methodically, thoroughly and permanently remove the malware that is causing the problem. The guide has not been written in a random fashion nor the procedures guessed at. It has been written from experience and works. It is all free.
