AdDestroyer

[Somsen Family]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, but I'm
becoming desperate. My son's laptop has been invaded by AdDestroyer. He
doesn't know where it came from and we cannot figure out how to get rid of
it. It seems to make his computer cooling system and hard drive run very
fast to the point where it gets hot. The only thing we have been able to do
is disable it, but have to do that each time we start the computer. Any
ideas? Thanks, Barb
