    I thought posting the url for the Kaspersky link can understand the Reimage download:

    I clicked on the "Download Here" right under Kaspersky. Stupid me...heavy sigh

    Thanks - that's what I thought. An ad looked like it was part of the tutorial.
    Lots of people mistakenly click on an ad - it's not stupid, the advertisers are very clever.

    So how far did you get with the bleeping guide after my PM reply?

    There were three things to do
    1) Rkill
    2) ESET Poweliks Cleaner
    <!> skip running ESET online scanner
    3) HitmanPro
    <!> skip running Secunia PSI

    If you ran those, please post the following logs
    Desktop\ESETPoweliksCleaner.exe_<timestamp>.log
    HitmanPro log

    I wrote in my last post your link gave me a red flag of an infected site, so I googled RKill and went to Bleeping Computer's site and here is the snapshot:

    Before I click on anything, it is the first link on the upper left out of the four choices, correct?

    So, this is good, right?

    RKill Download

    So, do I use the download at the top of the page, or one of the links shown here?

    Hi.
    Top-left corner one should be fine - it will be rkill.exe; save to your desktop. The other three are exactly the same thing, only renamed, so to allow it to run if some infection is preventing the normally-named executable to run.

    I have circled here what is the only real clue that this is an ad - very difficult to notice...

    I'm glad you're asking these questions now - once bitten, twice shy and all that

    One comment ... if a member points you to a guide - follow the guide. Google results can often take you places you don't want to go.

    Sometimes, it just requires a bit of reading - from the guide:
    When at the download page, click on the Download Now button labeled iExplore.exe. When you are prompted where to save it, please save it on your desktop.

    ... and a little patience - wait for the download to begin without clicking anything else.
    The download should begin on a new page shortly after hitting the button

    I often just click on the link that says if your download doesn't automatically begin... - but that also might be cleverly obfuscated by an ad using similar language.
    Direct download of Rkill renamed as iExplore.exe

    It can get confusing, especially when tools protect themselves by a rename (Chameleon Mbam does a similar trick if malware prevents it from running).

    Bottom line - ask. It's never a problem to double check Before

    Just read simrick's post again.

    I'm not contradicting her suggestion to download the standard Rkill.exe ... my post simply followed the guide where it said use the iExplore.exe download button.

    I agree that any of the four Rkill download buttons, or even any of the renames in the Related Rkill downloads shown at the bottom of in your screen shot, would be fine.

    Clear as mud?

    For, whatever reason you are missing the most crucial point in the past couple posts. Your link is a BAD link for the "Powerliks Trojan (Removal Guide) url: How to remove the Poweliks Trojan (Removal Guide) with all the bells and whistles.

    Who is to say this is part of the Trojan doing its nastiness, but my anti-virus blocks me from this "infected site," and why I went to Bleeping Computer's site using Google to get to the actual authored program. I have to ask if you have used your link, lately, for the "How to remove the Poweliks Trojan (Removal Guide)?
    It might provide for some additional info. to help others with if a clean system allows for this "safe" download, but an infected system blocks it as "malicious," right? I am curious about this, as well, and why I ask if you have tried the link in the past few days.
