    Someone once mentioned something called ComboFix to me. Don't know if that will help though.

    ComboFix is an anti-spyware/malware program. Which might help him too And it's for free!

    Some simple steps to take include the following:

    1) Update AV
    2) Start -> Run -> "msconfig" -> Untick ALL applications that seem odd.
    3) Disable System Restore Mode
    3) Restart safe mode
    4) Perform full system scan.
    5) Stop downloading pr0n.

    I did the boot scan and also scanned with malwarbytes anti-malware in safe mode. It didn't really find any suspicious files. Also did a scan with combofix (had it from my previous malware infection) also didn't find anything. My net seems to be working fine though now, hope it lasts. I also downloaded a scanner called prevx, it picks up a lot of infections but I have to register to clean them. Any advice?

    *EDIT*

    The infected files prevx 3.0 finds are: man8.exe, eraseme_42232.exe, unwise_.exe, jwrb.exe and b[1].exe. I've googled all of these and the only solutions I can find are all malware removal tools that need to be registered (pay buying a damn expensice licence). Anyone know of a free alternative to get rid of these files?

    Hahaha, lol. Believe me, that's going on the top of my "to buy list" for the next payday. I don't wanna go through all this crap again.

    It does however seem that the biggest part of my problem is (temporarily) fixed, my internet connection hasn't reset or disconnected once since I've done combofix and all the other scans. Prevx still finds some infected files that i can't get rid of so I'm assuming I'm not completely rid of this nasty virus yet.
