Getting rid of porn links/programs

System on boot up, boots up, pointer comes up, then you get ie desktop links to these sites after the hourglass goes away. You can delete the links, but they reappear at next boot up. When deleted they do not disappear into recyle bin. Pgate basic has already been removed. Helppppp! Thanks.

 

Start with downloading and running

Delete everything they find.
These will remove tons of garbage from the system.
Roboot after each one finishes.
Then download:

Do NOT "FIX" anything yet!!!! Save the log that it produces. Paste it into notepad as txt. Then copy that into a response to this post. Someone will help you decide what to get rid of.

 

Thanks, already running spybot, will try the other and get back to you! Thanks a mill.

 

The people whose computer we were trying to fix had to leave so will have to delay this for a while. Didn't want to not let you know. Thanks, will get back to this in the future.
