  Hello

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
  the cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
  the regular windows when you can.

• What to do if your computer has been hacked or hacked and controlled by a remote elsewhere.

  Original title: hijacked, hacked into the computer

  What to do if your computer has been hacked or hijacked and controlled by a remote connection

  Furthermore.  Many different programs added and if I try to uninstall or remove programs I don't recognize

  happens to me on my laptop and my PC computers.   my user name is not changed, but the control
  is not outside of me and they're using my name.  Can anyone help?

  You must save your stuff important on an external and reinstall your entire system since the manufacturer's recovery partition. You can find instructions for this on the site of manufacturer support.

  If you have no recovery partition, follow...

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows7/installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7

  Immediately after having re-installed, the next task is to make all Windows, including SP1 updates if your floppy drive or the partition recovery date before the service pack.

  Then install your antivirus solution. Avoid using McAfee or Norton. It is a good solution, free and easy to use...

  Microsoft Security Essemtials... http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows/products/security-essentials

  OK so far?

  Then, change the passwords for all programs that interact with the Internet... This includes Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Skype etc.

  When you create a password, do NOT use real names and use a combination of numeric characters and alphabet, up and down case. It must be complex enough so that he could not be found in a dictionary, but not quite complex that you don't remember it...
