I wanted to clear my cache as Jim spoke of and during the process, suddenly as I loked in shock, my security essentials program vanished. At least the icon vanished.
Suddenly I found that I had again got bit by the re-direct virus. My virus program had not spotted it.
I learned the last time it is a root-kit virus and is missed by normal virus programs. Sort of like catching AIDS I am afraid.
I can't use Microsoft sites to download. The Virus keeps redirecting me to sites it wants to collect money for sending me to them. I used youtube trying to watch a video showing how to do it but try taking notes during a video like that. I tried pausing you tube and that helped. Still if anybody has a fix, let me know.
When I try to get to a program called TDSS Killer, I also get redirected to some site the virus wants me to get to. It might turn out that if some of you has software you can e mail me, I might be able to download it and use it to kill the virus.
Experts welcome to explain this to me.
Many thanks.
