Welcome to CH achiman.
BitDefender and McAfee
I (as well as Microsoft, McAfee and Symantec) recommend that you DO NOT have more than one antivirus product installed and running on your computer at a time.
The real-time protection of two antivirus programs may conflict with each other and cause the following:
1) False Alarms: When the anti virus software tells you that your PC has a virus when it actually doesn't. 2) Conflicts: Your system may lock up due to both products attempting to access the same file at the same time. 3) Performance: More that one antivirus will cause your PC to become slow and it may even crash or blue screen.
I strongly suggest you either configure only one antivirus program to ENABLE automatic real-time scanning, and leave the rest disabled, using them for on-demand scanners or go to Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and uninstall all but one antivirus program.
----------
Disable Windows Defender
We need to disable your Windows Defender Real-time Protection as it may INTERFERE with the fixes that we need to make.
- Open Windows Defender
- Click on Tools, General Settings
- Scroll down and uncheck TURN on real-time protection (recommended)
- After you uncheck this, click on the Save button and close Windows Defender.
After all of the fixes are complete it is very important that you enable Real-time Protection again.
----------
Open HijackThis and select Do a system scan only.
Place a check mark next to the following entries: (if there)
- R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = \blank.htm - O2 - BHO: WormRadar.com IESiteBlocker.NavFilter - {3CA2F312-6F6E-4B53-A66E-4E65E497C8C0} - (no file) - O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file) - O2 - BHO: (no name) - {DF9BF658-5DEE-46C3-AADD-76B5C9654027} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\actived.dll (file missing) - O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MATH DOES FIRST MODE] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\live 64 math does\soap up.exe - O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [PARTINTERNET] C:\DOCUME~1\WILLIE~1\APPLIC~1\SURFFI~1\binreal.exe
