Part 2: Remove PUP application from DVD Drive (F:) CDROM
Unfortunately, I am back again after a couple months (I think), since tormenting Slartybart and Simrick with my Trojan removal nightmare. Perhaps, I should post on that thread, (for something to reference), but it is a lot to gloss over. Here is the link associated with the old Thread/Title above, if it helps:

I thought I was okay after running all, but one program successfully (I could not create a disc or flash drive for bitdefender?) from the website, or using stickifier, for whatever reason. I was running fine, but all of a sudden certain websites, typically, those with ads (Facebook, MSN, AOL, etc.) either start blacking out blocks, doubling lines, start flashing, will not load completely, shut down the browser, or any combination of two or more. Outlook Mail, my main e-mail is a throw of the dice to access forcing me to use another browser to, hopefully use, although that problem began with its "improved" update. I did have issues prior, but nothing comparable to now. I cannot use my bookmark, or most used "quick" link any longer, and have to google Outlook Mail.
At this moment I am in Safe Mode that I did not initiate, and realizes I have definite issues. Is it possible for a virus to go dormant creating havoc without any signs until it gets to this point? Meaning, after running all those programs with a "clean bill of health" was a false sense of security? I know technology has advanced beyond my comprehension, so please, do not think I am an idiot for asking my questions.
Should I just wipe out everything, and start new? It was suggested the first time around, but the thought makes me cringe. I could print my photos, or save documents to a flash drive, if I do need to start clean, right? Sorry, for the wordiness, but I think I covered everything.
Thanks!
