Plus there were several suspicious scheduled tasks added to the windows scheduler that most people don't even pay attention to. The malware itself is not active yet sending me messages and locking up my screen but a scan with malware bytes just caught new infections I am deleting all restore points & temp files and running the anti- virus, spyware and & rootkit apps again before I reboot my laptop.
ALWAYS disable your system restore as step #1, when removing malware.
