I appreciate your post, The Real Truth, but decided to work with Gerry on the
issue. I was concerned by the way your post was written at first, then Gerry
wrote to ignore it. I am confused at this point as to why anyone would want
to infect a computer like what happened to me. Then i ask for help and your
post was a little harsh at the end saying to ignore people listed below. Now
there seems to be a web-war between you all. Crazy if you ask me...i just
wanted a little advice.

Good luck to you in your future issues.

nothing to do with that link he posted. Good luck with your issue.

Gerry,

Level of security is "custom".

I forgot to mention that a new foler is created in MS Outlook called

Have you ever seen this before? I will look at the link you sent and did
ignore the post the RealTruth based on the way it was written. Thanks
though.

Remember Event Viewer error reports are only worth following up if they
repeat before and after the computer is restarted.

What level of Security do you have in Internet Explorer? In Internet
Explorer select Tools, Internet Options, Security?

Was the restore point dated before installing Registry Booster 2009?

What errors, if any, are appearing in Event Viewer?

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description
are important.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and
double click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which
appears is a button resembling two pages. Click the button and close
Event Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the
body of the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting
from Event Viewer.

If you want to pursue Malware try malwarebytes.

Run Malwarebytes' in safe mode and turn off your current anti-virus

Have you tried the simple remedy of uninstalling Registry Booster
2009?

This type of programme is not good for your computer as David has
said.

a virus that i can not find which seems to live in every program I
use. Spybot and AVG does not recognize it as a virus. What the
virus does is types in the doucment i have open or in the search
box if i am on the internet, opens a new menu, logs me off then
back on, etc. (it is actually a little scary -- like my computer
has someone living in side of it)

I created a back up of my registry BEFORE downloading the program.
I restored my computer 2x; 1st to this date then to another random
one at least a week ago and still no help.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for any information you can give me.

Just do an image of your computer and try The Real Truth's solution and then

Thanks Buffalo for the response.

Yes, I did uninstall the program from the control panel and did not just
delete it. i do have MBAM installed, have run it and nothing was found.

i believe the problem is in the registry, just don't know how to fix it.
Click to expand...
The lady stated in the original post that she made a backup of the
registry before installing the registry booster program, now if the
program altered the registry and the lady thinks that the problem is
still in the registry, would it do any harm to launch that registry
backup and put the registry back the way it was.

I downloaded and ran Uniblue Registry Booster... realized what a scam it was,
uninstalled it. There doesn't seem to be any files left, but it was still running in
the Start Up file in msconfig. Is this a registry key that has to be deleted?
Thanks

The simplest and safest solution to clean up any possible mess left behind
would be to run System Restore to a prior checkpoint.
 
Run my diagnostic tool called whatslivern. That file after a few seconds,
