After you have done all of the above, run a virus scan.

Check your user list and make sure there are no unauthoraized accounts. Delete any you find.

Reboot.

If you have a restore point you can try restoring from that spot, but before to delete any weird looking user accounts right away and run a virus scan again.




If its clean, reconnect to the Internet then do a software update to your operating system.
Great advice!
