In other words; How to reverse the mistake that I made?

I ran all virus time and time again and cannot get rid of this e-mail worm that continues to move forward, what I can do now, stop using hotmail?
Hello
Why do you think you have an e-mail worm? If you can't name it?
If someone is Spoofing emails that appear to come from you then they probably never
had access to your e-mail account. Instead, they have either a copy of your contacts
list or just an email from you or one of you where you were one of the recipients. Those
could be gleaned either your computer, the computer of a friend, or hacking
any site or intercept an email on your behalf or to you (you may not be the main)
(beneficiary).Once they have this information there is nothing you can do to avoid that they don't
send usurped messages. Warn your friends that is happening and they
can be entitled to install rules such as parodies are treated as SPAM or JUNK
mail.I've even seen usurped by email that appears to be from a valid user name however
This name doesn't have an e-mail account on the mail system used in parody.
As SpiritX - AT - realmail.com may be a valid account, however, parody used
SpiritX - AT - wrongmail.com. The latter could still be considered an email address valid
SpiritX if it was allowed through JUNK and JUNK e-mail filtering. (The - AT - has been used
instead of so that those addresses would not be filtered by auto responses.
as if by magic.)============================================================
Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.
The reason why you want to do this is to make sure no more hacking your computer is
still in effect (if it has been hacked). You have changed the password once but I would
Change it again after these checks.It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
NOT only the answer to the address.How to read the message headers

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to

Cannot get rid of the BIOS password
Bought an ACER Aspire E1 from an EBAY of ACER store about a year ago. A few weeks ago, I started it and quickly received a BIOS PASSWORD entry. Since that time, the laptop was absolutely worthless. I guess I tried the hardware, software, battery and all I could think of to fix the problem. I tried the MICROSOFT forums. ACER, ASK.COM Forums and forums Forums, forums, forrums and other forums that I could think of to try to resolve the unknown BIOS password. Thanks UEFI.
I guess short of replacement of the EEPROM on the motherboard (don't think even that would help) which I'd be suspicious to do.
Cannot get rid of the BIOS password.
If I contact the ACER Support, they say that it's a hardware problem. I tried (as suggested by ACER support), bringing to STAPLES, BESTBUY, FRYS ELECTRONICS, OFFICE MAX, DATA DOCTORS, and several other 'Repair computer facilities' nothing works.
IN a WORD, it's a PIECE OF a $400 trash...
If anyone has any ideas on how to reslove this issue, send me an E-mail, fax, text. or post a reply...
Thanks for letting me the WIND...

I get an error code whenever I start my computer. I have loaded several packs of registry repair software but cannot get rid of the message. The message bed error loading c:\windows\system32\pofusido.dll the specified module is not found
Hello
I googled this file pofusido.dll and it could be caused by a virus.
I would suggest that you disable the restore mode as viruses use it to reinstall set apart them.
Download and install the free http://www.malwarebytes.org/
Restart the computer and keep pressing F8 to get into safe mode with network connection.
Once you have updated Malwarebytes run and see if it can remove the virus.
So delete all cookies in your internet Explorer.

virus: I struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them
I have struggled with the virus for some time and cannot get rid of them. I bought a few programs, but they have also been infected. any suggestions for a really good virus buster.
Hello
First of all, an antivirus solution to an already infected system of loading is usually pretty useless. The bug will block all attempts to remove or load what it sees as a threat. Second, without knowing which virus you are affected by, it is difficult to be precise.
You can take action include:
(a) work in safe mode, there is much less likely that the virus is able to load and resist actively.
(b) the safe mode, run utilities malwarebytes.org and AV solution that was installed * before * your infection.
(c) post is back with a better description of what is on your system to learn more targeted advice.

anonymox took my firefox browser and I cannot get rid of it!
I installed anonymox to see what he did. It slowed my system down incredibly and so after half an hour to try yo download AMD drivers for my graphics card, I decided that anonymox should go. It was when I discovered that he had taken over my browser firefox completely and does NOT ALLOW me to enter the Addons folder at all, nor it will allow me to reset firefox to its default settings.
I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox half a dozen times and nothing works. Please help me get rid of this intrusive piece of Adware.Hey Sniperbait66,
Thank you for coming to this issue, the support forums. Could you do me a huge favor and try to start firefox in Mode safe? In your post, I noticed that he was not part of the options that you have tried.
Try to activate Safe Mode, see if it is still on your browser and try refreshing FireFox mode without failure. Once you do this answer please back here so that we can fix the issue if it doesn't fix it.
