The best solution for this is to remove the malware. Log into the infected account in safe mode with networking. Open Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab > LAN button. Make sure there is a check mark in the box to auto detect settings and that there is not a check mark in the box to use proxy settings. Open your browser and click on the first link below. Save the file to your desktop for convenience. Click on the icon and let rkill run. This should end the process of the malware allowing you to download Malwarebytes from the second link. Update and choose quick scan of MBAM.* http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/grinler/rkill.com http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Once the Malwarebytes scan is complete follow the prompts to remove the infection.
