Hi I consider my self a pretty computer illerate person so I really need your help! Jabuck you seem to be an expert so I would appreciate if you could solve my problems. Im getting a red x on the C drive, I have the posxxx.tmp files, and Im getting weird pop ups going through my filters. I was wondering if someone could take a look at them and see whats wrong. What should I do first?

Please download Atribune's VundoFix.exe from the following site to your desktop:

Vundofix.exe

Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.

Click the Scan for Vundo button.

Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.

You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files,
click "yes".

Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing
Vundo.

When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer,
click "ok".

5.Click on the "Do a system scan and save a log file" button. It will scan and then ask you to save the log.
