Please download and run this tool.
Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here

If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts.
Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.

Ok please do the following:
Please download Ice Sword from HERE
Please download Ice Sword from HERE
- Download the zip to your desktop and extract it.
- Open the Ice Sword folder and then launch IceSword.exe.
- Then look in the left hand bottom of the program and press "Registry"
- When the registry list opens, drag the line between the two windows so you can see which registry hive you need.
- Next, open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and navigate to the following key:
