Disinfect

Disable UAC time disinfection if you have Vista.

Download Navilog1 (IL-Mafioso) and save to the desktop.

* Double-click Navilog1.exe.
* (Under Vista, you must right-click the shortcut Navilog1 and choose “Run as administrator”)
* Choose your language press F or f then validate with Enter.
* Press any key whenever it is requested, you get to the menu of options.
* Select option 1 and press Enter to confirm your choice.
* /! \ Allow work tool /! \
* If infection, it will ask press any key to reboot the PC,
* After reboot, the tool will “clean”, then Notepad containing the report will be displayed.
* If the scan result is not displayed, it is found in C: \ cleannavi.txt

If files were found negative, disinfection is automatic.

Final

1. Once disinfection carried out, I advise you to check your PC with HijackThis to determine that no infection or other threat can not be cached.

2. Never install programs from pop-up and / or banners to promote a program whatsoever. If you are unsure, ask.

3. To protect your PC remember to read:

* Prevent viruses and other nastiness? Not so complicated!
* Protecting a computer against malware Internet
* What to do when one is infected?
* Directory of sites relating to security
