Default Closest I have ever come to shooting my computer/brother.....

So my little brother accidentally downloaded a little doozy by the name of gamevance. Which is why I'm up at 12:30 on the secondary computer, doing things to our other computer that I don't understand. I've been googling stuff and just following instructions in forums where people smarter than me hang out I'm doing things like opening binary and messing with zip files. This is very new ground for me, hopefully it works out, I'll keep yall posted......

Virues remover and then restore the computer to a date without the problem.
Not smart about it but works for me.

follow it step by step and you will be okay. The registry can be a little confusing, if you have doubts on which key to delete, don't do it and just shoot me a PM. I get e-mails on my phone so I can respond fairly quickly.

I downloaded malwarebytes upon the recomendatio of JB, and the first time I ran it, It caught like 22 things. I run the quick scan every couple of days, and the full scan every couple of weeks. Since the first time, I've caught 4 more things.

Also, if you don't have one, download an anti--virus. i use the Norton Internet security virus scan that came with the computer.
